An alternative to Samsung.

Ciao Kisaha. I have 2 alternatives. NX300 with 18-55mm white still under warranty until August 2018 or a black NX300 with 18-55mm and 50-200mm and original bag Samsung 300 € without guarantee. From the photos both products seem perfect, as also described by the owners that I've heard over the phone.

Those are crazy low prices!

How many NX cameras do you have, and what models? How many Nx lenses, and what models?

You have to value the warranty Vs the 50-200 lens, which costs almost as much on its own! If you are going to use this lens, then maybe it is a better deal (this lens is an excellent cheap 50-200, the ones I have seen are incredible sharp, at least until 150mm).

I am reluctant to buy a white camera, as they turn yellow with time, but the white NX cameras look really great, especially if you want to match your iPhone's color and whatnot!

How the white camera has a still effective warranty (it is an old camera after all)?

Whatever you choose, you certainly will have a deal in your hands.

Hello, in the end I decided for Samsung NX300 + 18-55mm + 50-200mm + hood + original bag for 330 €. In this way I ended the indecision. If I think that the Fuji X-T20, which I like, costs at least € 1,100-1.200, I think I've done a good deal and in this way I can continue to use the lenses I have. By the end of the year it's easy that the X-T20 can cost at least € 300-400 and so it will be as if I had bought it today but with the difference that at the same price I have 2 mirrorless. I have never used a zoom lens and then I will look To understand on what occasions I can be useful. Certainly not being bright I can not use it in the evening but I read that for panoramas and portraits of people is very good. Thanks at all.

In the end I took an NX300 used with 18-55mm and 50-200mm. After changing various settings now it's almost perfect. Compared to the NX3000 is more professional in the sense that it is much more responsive and with a higher autofocus. Is a little heavier but much more ergonomic. Compared to the NX3000 is certainly a superior category. The only thing I can not improve is the color range that seems a little bit out of focus. Probably I still have to set some parameters. Do you have any advice on the best color rendering settings? For now I'm very happy. Thank you

Goodmorning everyone. They are three years that use Samsung NX3000 and are very pleased with the results I've had. In recent times I begin to have some minor problems that the service center has resolved. To avoid future problems are looking for a mirrorless that good features. Once accustomed to this type of sensor I can no longer take pictures with lower sensor. Unfortunately Samsung no longer manufactures cameras and then try other models. Among the many models to value and size, I analyzed the characteristics and Sony A5100 seems like a viable alternative to NX3000 and superior characteristics. The size and portability resulting like. Which judgments you have about this pattern? Do you have tips for other models? There are also many other models with APS-C sensor very interesting but unfortunately have a fixed focal length and thus seem limiting. Thank you all for the advice.

I'm Pretty sure only the Sony A7RII has the BSI sensor.

Yes, A7Rii and NX1. Samsung was first too.

If you remember, back then - and for a couple more years, Fuji, m43 had 16megapixels sensors, and suddenly Samsung offers a 28 megapixel one, that actually still has the most megapixel count in its category. Obviously it was a first for such a big sensor and pretty immature in my opinion. NX1mkII should only had to increase high ISO quality with IBIS, and it would have been the best such camera ever.

"In September 2014 Samsung announced the world's first APS-C sensor to adopt back-side illuminated (BSI) pixel technology. This 28-megapixels sensor (S5KVB2) was adopted by their new compact system camera, the NX1, and was showcased along with the camera at photokina 2014, held in Cologne, Germany, 16 to 21 September.

On 10 June 2015 Sony announced the first camera employing a back-side illuminated full frame sensor, the α7R II."
