After the endless series of rumors that appear on the network for several months, Samsung has officially unveiled three new series of cameras mirrorless 'NX'. Three models for all tastes: the Samsung NX20, with a design similar to that of a digital SLR, the most compact Samsung NX210 and, finally, the Samsung NX1000, even smaller and simpler, but still with important technical features.

There is no built-in electronic viewfinder, but you can mount the optional extra available among the NX series.

Samsung NX1000

The smallest of the trio is the Samsung NX1000, clearly intended, at least in the planner, to those who, loyal to the size of a compact, want something more in terms of image quality (in fact "much more", in particular when shooting in low light conditions) but without renouncing to the compact. Miniaturization has eliminated the built-in flash. In the box, however, a small flash aggiuntiv
