An excellently presented and thorough review.

A good review for the less technical user. Interesting how much he likes the out of camera jpegs as well, when Samsung jpegs are consistently criticised on this site.

Do we have any idea of the Mini's dynamic range yet?

There had been some review out in a german IT Tabloid (chip.de) that is not that much know for its fotografic skills but does a reasonable measurement set (if you carefully interpret it)

Their measured OOC JPEG resolution was really impressive (although I would speculate that the Mini is oversharpening here nevertheless they indicated a reasonable level of measured details up to ISO1600, where typical for Samsung JPEG they heavily denoise again so that I would expect to use RAW in case I ever get one)

Regards dynamics they did measure

Dynamikumfang bei ISO min 10,0 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 400 9,0 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 800 9,0 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 1.600 9,0 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 3.200 8,3 Blendenstufen

where the Nikon "1" V3 did worse

Dynamikumfang bei ISO min 8,7 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 400 8,7 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 800 8,7 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 1.600 8,3 Blendenstufen

Dynamikumfang bei ISO 3.200 8,0 Blendenstufen

Nevertheless I would take with a grain of salt but it indicates that there is nothing wrong with the little one

Thanks, tjobbe, that's very interesting. The sensor seems better than Nikon's apart from the Nikon's great autofocus abilities and burst rates. Did they compare it to the RX100 as well?
