Following is a review from CNET Asia for Samsung EX1 camera.
It's been almost two years since Panasonic announced the Lumix DMC-LX3, an advanced point-and-shoot that pretty much dominated the compact market since. Other manufacturers tried to develop their own version to topple the Lumix LX3 from its top spot, with Canon being the most aggressive with its PowerShot S90 and G11. Though it appears the Lumix has held its ground against the competition, it now faces its most intense rival yet from Samsung.
The EX1 has been touted the "LX3 killer" on the Web since the Samsung was announced in February this year. It has all the good bits from the LX3 and G11 combined into one package, finished with a touch of Samsung in the form of an AMOLED screen. Can this enthusiasts-grade compact really give the LX3 a run for its money as rumored? Here's our verdict.
Design
The EX1 has a very solid build. In fact, it feels like it's been carved out of a single piece of metal block. Each component, from the scroll wheels to the buttons, hardly feels flimsy. Of all the point-and-shoots we've tested in the past few years, the EX1 delivers one of the best overall build. Here's a pictorial analysis of the various parts of the EX1.
The brushed metal texture on the front of the EX1 gives the camera a sophisticated look and an overall uncluttered design. The large lens barrel takes up most of the front, but there is still ample space on the rubberized grip for our hands to hold onto. The onboard flash pops up from the top of the snapper, just like the LX3's.
