Wedding with the NX10

Following is a user review of Samsung Samsung NX10 interchangeable mirrorless camera.

A few weeks ago, I was asked to shoot photos on a wedding ceremony and party. Together with my big DLSR, I decided to take the new compact Samsung NX10. I didn’t have it with me during the ceremony, but I took it as soon as we arrived at the reception on a cozy little boat. The advantage of the NX10 over DSLR cameras is the size. It’s much easier to carry around and it’s also a little bit more subtle. I took lots of photos with the NX10. Once you have it in your hand, it’s tempting to just snap away. I always leave the ISO setting on Auto, and use the A mode so I can choose what aperture I wants. The camera picks the right shutter speed for me. I’m not sure why, but I really love the shutter sound! The default camera colour calibration is very nice as well, the colours are remarkably colourful.

Since I wasn’t sure if I could just show everybody’s face online, I’ve decided to only attach anonymous photos with this article. In the first place, I picked photos that just show the atmosphere of the nice boat party. That’s the reason why there are so many drinks in the photos! On the other hand, I’ve cropped some photos so people’s faces are left out. With the 14.6 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, the NX10 allows me to make very small crops, where the quality is still really good. The photo below is one of those crops, and it only shows 12% of the original photo.

Amazing! Crops it, still good!NX10_wedding_06

Another reason why I found the NX10 useful during this wedding was the option to make videos. They always say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a video must be worth a million!
