Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung NX1100

  • High-quality 20.3MP APS-C sensor with great dynamic range and vibrant colors
  • Compact and lightweight design, making it ideal for travel and street photography
  • Excellent value for money, often described as an affordable entry-level mirrorless option
  • Integrated Wi-Fi features for easy photo sharing and remote control via smartphone
  • Intuitive and easy-to-use interface, suitable for beginners
  • Sharp 20-50mm kit lens that outperforms many rival kit lenses

What we don't like about Samsung NX1100

  • Lack of a built-in viewfinder, making it difficult to shoot in bright sunlight
  • No in-body image stabilization and the 20-50mm kit lens lacks optical stabilization
  • Dated video capabilities, limited to 1080p with no 4K support or microphone input
  • Slow and sometimes unreliable autofocus compared to more modern systems
  • Discontinued 'dead' lens mount system with limited third-party lens support
  • Short battery life and a screen that is not a touchscreen

Verdict

The Samsung NX1100 is an entry-level mirrorless camera featuring a 20.3-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and integrated Wi-Fi connectivity. It offers 8 fps burst shooting, Full HD 1080p video recording, and a 3-inch 921,000-dot LCD screen in a lightweight 222-gram body. Downsides include the lack of a built-in viewfinder, no in-body image stabilization, and a fixed non-tilting display.
