Samsung SMART CAMERA NX300
The NX300 boasts a new sensor, articulated screen and faster responses, yet at the same time there's a very comforting familiarity about it -- in more ways than one.
It's on sale now for £599, including body, lens and a bundled copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4. It is available in white, brown and black.
Specs and build quality
It looks and feels like a more stylish version of its predecessor, the NX210. They're largely the same size, but the NX300 has a new leather-like finish and a retro silver top plate, which helps it retain the NX210's sturdy, reassuring build quality.
It feels great in your hand, is well-balanced, and ships with a choice of kit lenses -- the familiar 18-55mm zoom or the slightly shorter 20-50mm unit. The former of those, which I used in my tests, delivers a 3x range; the latter, which costs around £30 less when bought as part of a kit, just 2.5x.
With a large touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi and an APS-C sized sensor there's a lot to like about the Samsung NX300. It consistently produces high-quality shots, is easy to use -- even if you're a novice -- and ships with a copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, all of which helps it justify its price tag.
