A very good mirrorless DSLR like compact camera,
So far the operation and picture quality of the NX2000 are pretty good. Its APS-C sensor definitely can react to more lights. The high ISO performance is very good below 6400 without noise. It is still tolerable if higher than 6400. The noise reduction from this camera is very good. The contrast AF is not bad, believe me it is not fast but really not bad. The 8fps continue shoot was surprising fast and perfect for motion sport. 20-50mm kit lens without image stabilization performs pretty well and the 50-200mm zoom lens with OIS is excellent.
Pro:
Price fits budget buyer who wants good quality picture and changeable lens compact camera.
Easy and clear in camera menu and touch screen with less button (I consider less button is a pro but some user don’t)
Fast 8fps continue shooting with high accuracy to catch the perfect moment.
Big APS-C sensor gives better quality pictures. Combines with the high ISO low noise reduction, this camera can shoot without flash.
Many optional Samsung lens to choose ( I prefer buying the 16mm wide angle lens too)
Con:
Contrast AF not Phase detection (the speed is still acceptable to me)
No optional EVF, it is very difficult to see the screen under sun light. Samsung, how can we take a good photo under the sun light when the LCD screen is totally invisible by the reflection. I think Samsung needs to consider an option EVF that can be attached to the hot shoe like Sony did on the NEX.
Battery life is also unacceptable. I highly suggest purchase 2 or 4 for back up and you need a aftermarket wall charger.
Update Oct 1 2013: After continue usage of this camera, I found out the LCD screen under the bright sun light is really a problem. Although I can adjust the LCD brighter to make it easier to see, it will drain the battery faster. Samsung really needs to make an optional EVF to attach it on the hotshoe as soon as possible. I don’t mind to spend couple hundreds to buy an optional EVF for this camera but seems Samsung is not listening to the feedback of the consumers. No tilting LCD panel + no optional EVF made the outdoor bright light shooting not too much fun.
Update Dec 4 2014: When I keep using this camera everyday on street, indoor, outdoor sport and car show, this camera continues give me the good quality result. I have no idea why some people gave one or two stars on the review. Some said the price on Amazon is more expensive than Costco then gave one star to the product. It seems it is not fair to this product. Some complained the auto focus is slow, I know this camera doesn’t have a super fast AF focus with phase detection, but the speed is not too bad at all. The point & shot cameras are no way to compare. Remember this camera is not P&S, it is a DSLR like mirrorless camera. If you don’t know how to use the M,A,S,P mode and its setting, you either don’t buy this camera or go to take a photography lesson. Because I am sure if you can’t take good pictures with this camera, it is either your skill or haven’t learned the full function of this camera.

|Nice compact system camera,
What I like about this product
– Compact and light weight. This is one of the key factors for my purchasing decision as I wanted a camera with interchangeable lens and yet easy to carry around on trips and vacation. The camera weighs about 1 lb with the body and the 20 – 50 mm lens. I was able to store this camera together with a 50 – 200 mm zoom lens in the Case Logic DCB-304 Compact System/Hybrid Camera Case (Black). It was a tight fit but it worked pretty well for carrying it around.
– large 3.7 touch WVGA screen for controls. It is quite easy to navigate the various shooting modes, controls, and viewing photos / videos.
– nice picture quality supporting upto 25600 ISO.
– a variety of controls for the more advanced photographers. Some of the features I like included the focusing / exposure / metering modes, bracketing by exposure / white balance, manual adjustment of the flash’s power, and ability to create our own custom settings. The camera also comes with a neat feature called “beauty face” which automatically smoothen the skin tones either in real time or applied after the picture is taken
– wireless Wi-Fi capability. This is a function which I like very much. It works flawlessly for sharing the pictures with the Samsung Smart camera apps, e-mailing photos, and uploading photos to face book. An existing Wi-Fi connection is needed for the files sharing and transfer. The Samsung smart App also has a remote view-finder function which allows us to remotely control the camera using our smart phones.
What could be better with this product
– lack of EVF which makes it a challenge to view under bright sunlight.
– the focusing system on the 20 -50 mm lens is pretty slow and is a bit difficult sometimes to achieve proper focus particularly in low light situations. The 20 – 50 mm lens does not have the OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) function neither which makes it a challenge for shooting fast moving objects. The Samsung 50-200mm Telephoto zoom lens for NX Series Cameras which I also purchased does come with OIS. You may also want to consider the Samsung EX-S1855CSB/US NX NX Ifunction Lens for Camera (Black) as an upgrade as it provides much better focusing mechanism with the OIS function. I have also provided some detailed information of this lens in the product page.
Overall, I am quite pleased with this camera given its price with nice picture quality, compact design with interchangeable lens , and the wireless sharing capability. It is a step above the point and shoot type camera for those would want more advanced controls for their photo-shooting.

|Samsung NX2000 20.3MP,
The Samsung NX2000 has exceeded my expectations, which is loaded with features you might expect to pay a much higher price for a much larger and heavier body. Some basic software (included in this purchase) and I was off and running. Very user friendly. 20 to 30 minutes with the manual and I was uploading to my iPad, Facebook and into files for storage. 15 year old grandson was able to do same with this camera.
Can not say enough about how user friendly this camera is.
