Samsung NX1000 Digital Camera Review

Usability

The Samsung NX1000 is pretty straightforward to use, with a design that should feel somewhat familiar to point-and-shoot users. For advanced shooters it may lack the manual control of higher end cameras (even similarly priced high-end fixed lens cameras), but for those between the beginner and expert ends of the spectrum, the NX1000 is a camera you can grow with. It has a physical mode dial, an easy-to-use quick "function" menu system, and the company's useful "i-function" button on the lens. We're not 100% sold on the main menu design, but in general the camera makes fiddling with settings a simple affair, with the peace of mind of a physical mode dial with auto and scene modes in place when necessary.
