  • Prior to acquiring the NX20, I rarely worked with RAW files, and my editing needs tended to be rather basic.  Now I routinely process RAW, with great results, using Zoner Studio Pro 15.  Not being...
  • Replied in NX20 Batteries
    I expected more than that.  If it's normal, okay.  This morning I reset the picture numbers and changed the battery.  I'll keep track of what I get.
  • My Minolta lenses are old friends whom I know well.  I simply have no desire to replace them, which is fortunate, since I can't afford it right now.  Even without using film, I do find myself...
  • Created discussion NX20 Batteries
    It was driven home to me more forcefully this morning how fast the NX20 drains batteries.  I seldom use the rear screen.  I'm shooting RAW+JPEG, which I guess uses energy faster than normal, but I...
  • Also, I discover that the effect can be minimized in post processing.  Here is a similar picture after 30 seconds work from RAW:   Ghosting about gone. Therefore, based on my current expertise,...
  • Which applies to me as well.  I use the term based on other pictures I have seen. I'm glad you pressed this point about ghosting.  I took some more test pictures, came away with a much more...
  • Very interesting.  That sounds like what I called "ghosting" on the wide open Sigma 18.  Possible difference:  on mine I would describe the effect as rather harsh, perhaps not so pleasing as yours....
  • A further point to clarify:  the contrast problem mentioned above does not arise when flash is used.  What is that all about?
  • Recently I described, generally, my experience using Minolta MC/MD manual focus lenses on the NX20.  Results were over all strikingly good, though I noted isolated problems of the sort mentioned by...
  • I, too, use the Rainbow Imaging adapter.  As previously stated, I purchased three of them, so that-- given all the problems I heard about-- at least one would function correctly.  As it turned out,...
  • In fact, subsequent tinkering with NX20 settings has pretty much gotten them where I want them.  Last night I attended an evening Cactus League baseball game.  Most of the shots were good enough...
  • I can't say anything bad about it.  I have two, a black and a silver, one of which I kept loaded with color, the other with BW film.  I intend to keep the black camera SRT as back-up, or in case I...
  • This mattered to me almost more than anything else:  does the NX20 reliably produce quality images with my old Minolta lenses?  I am simply not in the market-- at this moment-- for more lenses, but...
  • From the start I have employed the RAW+JPG setting.I took a bunch of pictures with the kit lens, mostly with a tripod, indoors, night, dawn, full sunlight.  Thus far the results gratify in the...
  • Created discussion Initial Report on the NX20
    I took possession of a brand new NX20 last Friday, have been experimenting with it the past week. This was a real big deal for me since, despite owning several digital compacts and a couple of...
