Hey gang - don't even consider selling your NX gear...

At one time one could often (not always) identify what camera brands captured an image by looking at how the colors were rendered.  I can recall (over a decade ago) that folks often remarked about the Canon look, a Nikon look, an Olympus look, etc.  As time went on and technological adjustments to image processors were made, the differences were blurred somewhat - but there were still hints in how those colors were rendered.

Now enter Samsung.  Initially, as you may or may not know, Samsung's color tonality was an offshoot of how Pentax rendered colors.  The early NX line of cameras had color renderings were similar or exactly the same as Pentax.  As Samsung continued, they began to refine their own way of rendering colors.

So what is meant by "dynamic color tonality?"  Quite simply, colors that stand out of a crowd with an image (when correctly taken or correct post processed of course) that often have that palpable, "you-are-there" look to the scenes.  Now I can't attest to the NX5 - but I can attest to the likes of the NX1, NX500, NX30, and NX300.  And because I've have the luxury of extensively using the likes of various Micro 4/3 cameras (both Panny and Oly), Canon EOS M models, Fuji X-Trans (and Fuji Bayer) offerings, along with various Samsung NX offerings, I can make some interesting comparisons.

In most cases, in particular for scenic scenarios, the NX camera images stand out of the crowd with a color rendering that beckons you into the scene.
