REVIEW SAMSUNG NX11

► The Samsung NX range of mirrorless system cameras isn't as well known as the Panasonic G, Olympus PEN or Sony NEX ranges and, judging by the disappointing NX100, perhaps it deserves to stay that way. However, the NX11 addresses our primary criticisms of the NX100, adding a flash and an optically stabilised lens.

Unlike the NX100, and most other mirrorless system cameras, the NX11 looks like an SLR after a crash diet rather than a super-sized compact. Lens aside, it's much slimmer than any SLR, and peering through the viewfinder to see an LCD screen reveals its true nature. This screen isn't quite as big and detailed as the Panasonic G3's electronic viewfinder (see What's New, Shopper 284), but it's not far behind. Unlike the G3, the NX11's viewfinder switches on automatically when the camera is raised to the eye. Both cameras also have impressive 3in screens. However, while the NX11'sAMOLED technology produces richer colours, the G3's is articulated.
