Excluding the Epson R-D1x, APS-C products with current CCD-lens equivalent size, the Samsung NX10 is the only mirror-less aircraft. PMA 2009 showed a mock-up in February (originally known as NX), January's International CES in 2010 and then formally announced the release in. As of January, "The three international debut in February," said the schedule had been reported.

But by January 23, ahead of Samsung NX10 only sold in Korea. Released in Japan and it's still undecided, and if it tried to obtain the actual Sassoku in Seoul. Here is a tentative, to deliver a brief report it using the actual equipment. Later, reports are scheduled by the photographer. The trial NX10 details about the previously released "Samsung, APS-C sensor NX10 exhibit mirror-less aircraft" would like to see.

NX10 and was purchased by itself, this three interchangeable lenses. Replacement lenses, pancake-style SAMSUNG LENS 30mm F2, the zoom lens SAMSUNG ZOOM LENS 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OIS, a telephoto zoom lens SAMSUNG ZOOM LENS 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED OIS's. Buy now will support all of the lens.

You bought the city of Seoul's Yongsan electronics store gathering. There are some stores attract private buildings, one of which was purchased by February 12 all day. Total purchase price is 155 million won. About using credit cards that charge an additional 10 percent is 1.66 million won in 1000. ¥ 0.07 won one (for example, the exchange rate at the time of writing) is calculated at about 6,270 will be 110,000 yen.

The dressing is the way the Sandisukuburando SD Memory Card (2GB) that came with that. Department can not use the charger connector type C in Japan. In addition, HDMI cables, of course, AV cable did not come with even more surprising. Korea to purchase, a description is only within the scope of representation is expected Hangul.

■ overwhelmingly thin body
NX10 surprised to see first, then a camera with interchangeable lenses, the body will feel extremely thin depth. Projection of the apron less so, and the SLR-style body is familiar, take a very different impression. LUMIX DMC-G1 Maikurofosazu aircraft close to the first shock when I saw that the people of the NX10 makes extensive use of curved surfaces, also have a strong impact of the thinnest. The plastic surface of the body but they feel a sense of well-built material thickness. The surface roughness is clear, I felt a sense of actually touching a high of more than expected. 
 
    

Pamugurippu Department, the Olympus E-410 and E-420 design reminiscent of a low-key. Or because the body itself is thin, such as bites, special sweets, but the overhang in unexpectedly good fit in the hand. Well with the Rubber Ball is the biggest lens 50-200mm F4-5.6 at this time even when mounted, is felt unstable.

The rear is equipped with three organic EL also noteworthy. Tile Pen (Pen tile) 610,000 4,000 fonts and method utilizing high-resolution dot-smooth, beautiful view with various gradient. Speaking of the domestic manufacturers, α550 quality and close to say. High-resolution EVF. The DMC-GH1 is not enough, and visual resolution, high-definition display is enough. ※ 2010 年 2 月 18 日: EVF for "DMC-GH1 above" was the expression and the right DMC-GH1 sophisticated and better equipped with the EVF, the feel of the DMC-GH1 is on the way. Also, AMOLED the number of dots as Dot had 92 million, 14,000 is 61 dots correctly. Sorry to correct you.

■ fast enough AF. Mirror-less aircraft are agreeable lightness
30mm F2 and 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AF turned on the speed of the state, DMC-GH1 + LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA OIS from the same or slightly slower or much. But in any case, the contrast AF speed will be a practical and well thought of. Nevertheless, as machine Maikurofosazu the current level of motion is strong and not say what.

Characteristic of the interface is set up in the green button at the top right hand box seat. Exposure compensation, AF target location, and fine-tune white balance, various buttons will revert to the initial values of the parameters of a single button. AF, especially after moving the position of the target, and is reversible in the middle with a single convenient. Panasonic's most DMC-GH1/G1 also reversible delete button in the center between the bottom-placed buttons and a cross. However, Samsung would put it right next to the shutter button is interesting.

Is strongly they felt uncomfortable with, feel the shutter button. Entry digital SLR cameras in general - and a middle class, the middle one plays in the resistance, "half press" → "push all" get the feel of the stage two. The NX10 is purchased, the weak resistance in one-half times before the press. Or "half pre-press" → "half press" → "push all" and it's a feeling. Resistance and the second one is very weak, although it has taken some time to get used to. These will be some sense of individual differences, not good when you press a little harder pressed halfway, but you get used in practice should be fine.

Since this is only a one-day trial for a more quality feel and want to avoid the issue. If a snap-shooting, but as the size and response, you are used to the DMC-GH1 could use in almost the same sense, though. DMC-GF1 and E-P2 is compact enough, although not different from entry-class digital SLR camera gives the sense of a unique light.

Personally felt the NX10 attractive, but have no access point or warranty in Japan, and what to do if the funding comes the new lenses and new accessories, there are some annoying parts. Lack of interchangeable lenses and at the moment, I would feel uneasy about their future. The later, more detailed report will be published by the photographer.
