I'll usually forgive a camera a few minor niggles as long as the image quality is good enough, and I'm happy to report that the NX200 earns itself a full pardon. However, I found that it quickly ran into problems while shooting a live rock gig, where the rapidly changing light levels caused it to fail frequently enough to be a problem. It features single-point, multi-point, face detection and subject tracking AF, and works a little slowly but accurately in most normal lighting conditions. Like most compact system cameras the NX200 uses contrast detection autofocus. #SAMSUNG INTELLI STUDIO BUILDING YEAR PLUS#I took about 250 shots plus some video clips while testing and the battery indicator was still showing two out of three bars, so that may be a bit on the conservative side. It is powered by a 1,030mAh li-ion rechargeable which Samsung claims is good for 320 shots. Since menu or playback functions cannot be used while this is going on, it makes the camera frustrating to use in this mode.īattery duration is about average for the class. The only major problem I found with the camera's performance was in raw mode, where after just a few shots the camera would lock up for up to nine seconds, displaying a "processing." notice on the monitor. It has two continuous shooting modes, a low speed at 3fps which appears to be able to run for several dozen shots, and a high-speed 7fps mode, which shoots for seven frames but then locks the camera up for 12 seconds while it writes to the memory card. In single-shot mode its shot-to-shot time is approximately 1.3 seconds, which is slower than I was expecting, mostly due to the slightly sluggish AF system. Fortunately this feature can be turned off in the menu, in which case the camera can start up and take a picture in well under two seconds. It's a good idea and helps keep dust off the sensor, but it can be annoying if you're trying to snap something in a hurry. In its default setup, the camera will run a quick sensor-cleaning routine on start-up, which takes a couple of seconds. The NX200's overall performance is good, although there are a few issues. I'm taking a look at one of these today - the NX200. #SAMSUNG INTELLI STUDIO BUILDING YEAR SERIES#Six years later, it is one of the most successful and prolific camera manufacturers, with a range of over two dozen compact cameras, a dozen or so video camcorders and its highly regarded series of compact system cameras (CSC), the NX System, in which it currently fields six models. It wasn't until 2006 with the launch of its NV ("New Vision") series and its partnership with lens manufacturer, Schneider Kreuznach, that Samsung really started to become a major player in the digital camera industry. For the first few years, it really didn't seem to be taking digital photography all that seriously, probably thinking what the film manufacturers all hoped that it was just a passing fad and that everyone would soon return to traditional film photography. ![]() ![]() Despite the vast scope of Samsung's business interests, it was something of a late entrant into the digital camera market when it launched its first model in 2002. ![]()
