It seems like I just got 1.10 installed, now I am going to have to enter all my network passwords again :S  Samsung, use a touchscreen with touch keyboard on your next camera

I will try it out later, one thing I would like to request are the shutter speeds used with Auto ISO and non-stabilized lenses be increased (or adjustable), but 1/60 with 85mm handheld is not adequate  If anyone installs the firmware can they check this out?

Thanks for the update Daniel, I appreciate knowing when these are released.  Will try to give it a whirl tonight, but have a different camera toy coming that might take precedence

Re: NX new firmware

thanks for the heads up on the new firmware.

am curious to ask if Samsung Raw Converter will support all superseding firmware without a need to update itself?

I ask in reference to Adobes Lightroom software which apparently needed updating of its raw capture plugin earlier this year to support the nx200 firmware update.

I downloaded the new firmware (1.1) 3 or 4 weeks ago. But i didn't upgrade my nx200 because what i read in the existing thread "NX200 upgrade to firmware v.1.1" wasn't convincing me.

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3271369

I wonder why the release date changed to 12. oct., 2012?

maybe something was fixed to the early 1.1? I remember some problems. Zdman was warning about the new firmware: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3275322 ..and i read that the developer menu was disabled.

Upgrading now, I appreciate that Samsung is active on improving the firmware. If I find anything interesting I will report back. Thanks for the heads up Daniel.

Does anyone know if this is a replacement for the previous 1.1 firmware update for the NX200 that they had on the site?

I have already applied the previous 1.1 firmware so can I update it with this one?

The .bin file dates and sizes are the same.

The reason I ask is because with the 1.1 version my NX200 has frozen 4 times (once with a blue screen with some text on it) and 3 times requiring the removal of the battery to restart.   Perhaps I will wait and hope they release a 1.2 at some point.

Thanks,

I would maybe try the new one.  Also, after you install it make sure you run the reset settings.  It does it anyway, but not sure if it gets everything or not.

I know on an early update for the NX20, they might have overclocked it a bit too much and it got glitchy.  They released another firmware with the same number that was less buggy, but not as fast either.

Re: NX new firmware

After updating the NX20, I feel that is a little faster. But it may be the power of suggestion.

Re: NX new firmware

Installed it, don't really notice much difference yet.  See how it goes with time.  I wish Samsung put a list of bugs they fixed

It still seems quick, a continuous burst at max FPS was 8 shots RAW and locked the camera for about 12 seconds (not bad), earliest firmware was something like 30 seconds  I have a fast enough enough card.  Obviously a slower card might be longer.

Overall I think Samsung has done a great job improving the performance to decent levels, too bad people will always have stuck in their mind that it is really slow at processing RAW.  It could still be better of course, but given 20 MP sensor it needs a pretty powerful processor to move that data around so quickly.

Re: NX new firmware

Interesting point about processing power. Has Samsung ever revealed which chip is powering the NX cameras? Samsung is of course a well respected chip maker so I'd assume it's one of their own chips, possibly an Exynos, or perhaps something completely different. Anyway, with more computing power one must usually expect more battery power as well. If Samsung were to go with a more power hungry chip we'd then need to also expect shorter battery life or bulkier batteries. I'm guessing Samsung is trying to balance things out as best they can. I like that the NX battery is small and compact but the down sides are that it doesn't last as long and may be unsuitable for more powerful chips.

One good bit of news is that the trend with chip manufacturers is to reduce the die size of the chips every year or two, which decreases the power consumption. Manufacturers typically offset that by increasing performance. So we can probably assume the NX battery capacity to stay about the same but with time performance will continue to go up.

Thanks Eric,

I have installed it.  Not to wait and see if it fixes the occasional hanging issues.

Re: NX new firmware

FYI.

On Samsung official support website, the release date of NX210, NX1000's firmware v1.11 refreshed to 2012/10/24.

For NX1000, the file name for downloading changed from "nx1000_FW_1.11_1210051.zip" to "nx1000_FW_1.11_1210211.zip".

Hover over the question mark, it says fixed a bug where exposure didn't work in bulb mode 30 seconds, or something and a general bugs fixed statement.  I am hoping the first point fixes my issue I had with bulb mode the other day
