The company has yet again come up with something new, this time in the enthusiast mirrorless space. For the first time ever, Samsung has managed to create an APS-C-sized, 28MP CMOS sensor that's backside illuminated. BSI sensors move all the circuitry behind the light-capturing part of the sensor which allows it to capture more light, improving low light performance and reducing noise. Until now, the largest sensor with backside illumination was 1"-type (around 1/3rd the size of APS-C). Read the article |

Samsung’s latest mirrorless hybrid, the NX500, manages to shoehorn many features from the larger NX1 DSLR style camera into a pocket-sized marvel. Packing a 28Mp APS-C sensor, 4k video capture, and impressive performance stats in an under-$1000 camera, the new Samsung NX500 looks to be a tasty proposition for hybrid shooting enthusiasts. |

Canon APS-Cshooters will be pleased to see the announcement of the Canon 7D Mark II as their new flagship APS-C DSLR. Whilst the original version pushed many boundaries when launched, 5 years on it’s now looking pretty long in the tooth. So how will the updated 20.2Mp Mark II version compare in today’s dramatically different camera world? Lets find out. |

If Samsung is working well, it could be a big surprise.
This machine is too interesting. I hope to soon see the test of the optics.

The price is not $2400.
The price for NX1 is currently $1500 and was down to $1300 recently. Not sure where you got the $2400 number.

Re: The price is not $2400.
It sure was a couple of weeks ago when I bought the kit with the 16-50 f2-2.8 lens for $2399. Maybe that's where they got it.

Price stated on the camera producer site 2. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ 3. Other available source. Unfortunately I can’t say right now where the price for this datasheet was found, but I'll check if an update is needed, with current bh price. Best regards Reply |

proofreading
<div id="linkdxomark">This a comment for <a href="http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Samsung/NX1">this page on the website</a></div>It looks like the DxO team regularly forgets to proof-read their articles. That gives no serious impression.

Roadmap NX1
Hi all,
We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the disturbing modification of our tests production & delivery schedule, and for the lack of presence on this forum lately, leaving some of our readers with unanswered questions. For your information, we will try to have the NX1 reviewed withing the next couple of weeks. Best regards Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: Roadmap NX1
Hi Sophie. I see that the NX1 has been tested. That's great.
I noticed however that there is no data for it (ISO sensitivity, etc.), and no lens data for it. I also did not see an article about it. If there will be an article for it, I hope it can address how the D3300 can have a higher high-ISO score, even though it looks like it has more noise on DPReview's studio comparison widget. I think a lot of people are curious about the NX1. It is currently the most popular camera on DPReview (in terms of number of views). DPReview also awarded it Gold recently (the highest score ever given to an APS-C body so far). I think readers would be very interested in more information from DXO regarding the NX1 and the NX500 (for those of us who can't afford the NX1 or for whom it is too large). Thanks in advance.

Re: Roadmap NX1
Thanks Sophie. A lot of people would also like to know if there are plans to test the Samsung lenses with the NX1? I think given the significantly higher resolution over the NX20, the results should be interesting.
It would also be great if you guys could test the 16-50 f/2-2.8 and 50-150 f/2.8. Roger Cicala tested the 16-50 on the NX1 and compared it against the Nikon D7100 with Nikon 14-24 and found that the NX1/16-50 combination out-resolved the D7100/14-24 combination. Reply |

Ignoring the most likely best APS-C sensor on the market?
Why is DXOMark ignoring one of the best sensors on the market? I have been using it since the day it came out and its fantastic, the colour bit depth must be pretty darn good and the dynamic range must also be pretty awesome because I managed to pull quite a lot of details from almost black image something you could only do reliable in a full frame.
This camera seems to be pretty good at low light too, no FF of course but its pretty darn close to be one. DXOMark should seriously test this camera. Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

First APS-C BSI sensor
I'm very excited to see the DxO scores for the world's first back-side illuminated APS-C sensor. Preliminary indications are very favorable, now we just need to see the measurements!

Re: First APS-C BSI sensor
I am also anxiously waiting to get the DxoMark results for NX1. I think DxoMark should give lower priority to testing the same Sony 24MP FF sensor and 24MP APS-C sensors in tens of different cameras and give a higher priority to evaluating this sensor which is brining a new technology to the table. Everyone already knew that A7II is the same sensor as A7 and will perform just the same so why bother giving so much urgency to that model. I would really appreciate if with NX1 DxoMark breaks its tradition of testing samsung cameras only after they are already discontinued :)

Re: First APS-C BSI sensor
I agree. NX1 should have high priority. The first medium format CMOS sensor (in Pentax 645Z) should also have high priority. It's 9 months since launch.

Hi,
For your information, the NX1 review has been published. As for the Pentax 645Z, it is unfortunately not in the road map for now. Best regards Reply |

Do you plan to do a sensor test of the NX1 anytime soon?

Re: test
I may say that it won't beat todays best sensors.
I bet that it has 12,5 or 13 stops of DR at base ISO and that it looses somewhat less that 1 EV of DR to sensor of D7100 at high ISOs. Reply |

Re: test
After using the NX1 for some time now, over a month, it is definitely the best APS-C sensor on the market. Would like to see a test result BEFORE Sony releases another APS-C sensor in a few months, which will surely be reviewed first.
