Quickie: Samsung NX100 Review

A year or so ago I had a play with the Samsung NX10 and was unimpressed. Sure it had a sensor that most full-on DSLRs would be proud of, but it just didn’t wow me. DPReview called it “a good start”. Now, Samsung have released the NX100. On paper it seems incredibly similar to the [...]

FujiFilm FinePix F200EXR Looks Interesting
