Verdict

The Samsung NX2000 is an entry-level mirrorless camera featuring a 20.3-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and the DRIMe IV image processor, capable of capturing full-resolution bursts at 8 fps and Full HD 1080p video at 30/24 fps. Its most prominent hardware characteristic is a massive 3.7-inch 1.15 million-dot touchscreen that replaces most traditional physical controls, complemented by an ISO range of 100–25,600 and built-in Wi-Fi and NFC for easy sharing. Main pros include its high image quality, compact and lightweight build at approximately 228g, and the extensive wireless connectivity options. However, it suffers from a lack of an electronic viewfinder (EVF), a fixed screen that does not tilt, noticeable shutter lag, and poor outdoor visibility of the large display in bright sunlight.
