Hello there, how are you all you doing?

I have just been given a Samsung Galaxy NX camera to try out. Samsung have invited me to be an Imagelogger for them, using this camera. This device was supplied by the Samsung Imaging Dept. I have this camera, complete with the 18-55m.m kit lens. This is the same lens that I was so happy with while I worked with the Samsung NX300, (which I loved, both camera and lens), so I'm expecting good work from the lens. Given the fact that the Galaxy NX has the same sensor as the NX300, I hope that this camera, can match the great straight out of camera, (SOOC), pictures that the NX300 produced. We shall see, over the coming weeks, if the Galaxy NX can live with the NX300, image wise. Physically of course, these two cameras are as different as chalk is to cheese. The Galxy NX is basically a smart phone with the ability to put different lenses on the front. By this, I mean that the camera has an Android operating system. So any user of a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, should be able to pick up this camera, and after a few minutes setting up the image capturing parameters to their satisfaction, be able to go out and start taking great pictures. Imagine your phone, only with a huge, (compared to phone sized sensors), APSC 20.3 mega pixel CMOS sensor. It may mean nothing to you, but what it means, simply, is, the larger the sensor, the better the Image Quality, (IQ). One can print out a good photo from one of these cameras up to 30 inches by 40 inches, and retain excellent image quality. Try that with any smartphone images. While the NX300 is a rangefinder style camera, smaller, lighter, and no view finder. Instead it has a tilting rear screen on which to compose your images. Conversely, the Galaxy NX is a DSLR style camera, having ab electronic viewfinder, and a huge rear screen, which is fixed.

Over the coming week. I shall be trying this camera out, in various places around Wales. Weather permitting, I hope that most of the photography can be done outside, but, well we all know our Welsh weather, don't we. Wales must be one of the few places in the world, where we seem to get samples of all four seasons in one day. ;-)

Above is a quick pic for you to look at. This will have to suffice, for now. But there will be lots more, over the coming weeks.


Speak soon, be good, and have a great day. Regards, Twm.
