Introduction


Samsung NX200 Smart Camera-After a year of camera Samsung NX100 waltz, now comes with the name of the successor series Samsung NX200. Camera Compact System Camera (CSC) is present as the challenge of other manufacturers who also gave birth to a kind of camera, such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1, Sony NEX-5N, and the Olympus PEN E-P3. Also continue NX10 which is Samsungs first mirrorless camera, NX200 has a CMOS sensor APS-C sensor DSLR cameras are widely used.

Samsung NX200 is wrapped with metal body and a number of improvements from the previous series. NX200 comes with 2X the price of the NX100 and OIS 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens. If the NX100, there are some issues regarding the speed, both in terms of performance and autofocus, and a lot of noise at high ISO usage. However, Samsung heard of this problem and fix it on the NX200 Series.

Samsung NX also increases the sensor on this new series. If the NX100 NX200 while using 14.6 MP 20.3 MP use. However, this amount is still less when compared to Sonys sensor NEX-7 is at 24.3 MP. However, the 20.3 MP NX200 is larger than most DSLR that uses the average 16-18MP. AF system also uses a new system. Autofocus on the NX200 is faster than its predecessor. According to Samsung, autofokusnya speed is 100ms.

In the continuous shooting mode, NX200 able menambil images up to 7fps. While in video mode, NX200 capable of taking video at up to Full HD 1080p with 30fps in MP4 format. This camera also offers sensitivity up to ISO 12800. In theory, the high ISO is very helpful when shooting in low light. On the features of Magic, Magic Frame, there were 13 and 10 filter effect is interesting. Among them is a fish eye filter and 3D, as well as taking panorama.

Design and Menu Control


Body Samsung NX200 uses metal material, making it more robust and sturdy. Body shape is slightly different with NX100 NX200. On the NX200, form a larger hand grip and grip on the camera like a DSLR. While the setting speed / zoom in the preview mode is placed after the control menu. We feel this placement is a bit annoying. It was a little into a bit stymied by the control menu. In addition the position of the shutter button is parallel with the body. This position also makes it a bit uncomfortable when pressed, due to the shape of DSLR-like grip, shutter button is usually made at a slight angle to the front to adjust where your index finger.


Difference between NX100 and NX200 design other is speaker placement. Position the speakers moved to the position of the control menu, make the sound more out of hand and not blocked. On the upper also has a pair of quality stereo microphone, but the NX200 no slot for adding an external microphone. Control over the menu consists of the Manual, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Program, Smart, Movie, Scene, Panorama, Magic, and Lens Priority Mode. There is also a hotshoe flash that can be installed or viewfinder.


Pictorial keys trash (trash) in the lower right corner is the same as the NX100. This key function allows users to delete files directly. These custom buttons can also be used as a replacement of the White-Balance. But we also do not like the placement of this button, the position that too often makes right hand was accidentally depressed.

Another change is on the record. On the NX200, Samsung added a button that makes the record easier to use the video recording. NX200 uses AMOLED screen with a width of 3 inches.

Section there is a hole right side USB and HDMI are wrapped so as not easily soiled by the dust. At the bottom there is a screw that can be used to use a tripod. While the memory card slot inside the battery hole.

While the menu settings on the camera is fairly not complicated and easily selected. An explanation of the menu also appears a few seconds later.


Performance


The first interesting thing we found when trying NX200 is, this camera is ready to use quickly. When we turn, we recorded a time of 1.3 seconds from power is off to a condition ready for a slingshot.

The camera is able to capture seven images per second at full resolution 5472 x 3648. While in burst mode, NX200 able to take pictures up to 30 shots a single tap on a resolution of 2736 x 1824. The process of storing 30 images once snap is a little long, but when the place of storage, display image is not locked. This camera can still be used to capture images while the storage process is underway.

In the RAW format, continuous shooting only 7 frames per second, while the burst mode is off to RAW. The storage process is much longer than the RAW JPEG, because RAW files are large. When the process of saving RAW takes place, the screen is locked and had to wait for the process is finished if you want to take the next picture.

Samsung NX200 Smart Camera adds video recording capabilities up to Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) with a speed of 30fps. There was also another recording option, which is 1280 x 720 at 30fps or 60fps, 640 x 40 and 320 x 240 at 30fps. In theory, of course 60fps recording speed can produce a finer image than 24fps/25fps/30fps. To see the video, please see the video below. NX200 video recording can also be used manually or autofocus. Autofocus feature is especially helpful for users who are less familiar with the manual focus. But when we tried it, not too fast autofocus works but still very helpful. But we find these constraints autofocus while recording an object with a light low-light, AF is having trouble finding a focal point of the object.

The video below is in a state of low-light. We tried to record a phone in autofocus mode, but the NX200 seen trouble finding a focal point of the object. In the second-to-10 to the end, we change the focus mode manually.



Features


Samsung NX200 features a panorama, this mode also exists on the Sony NEX. But Samsungs way of making panorama with Sonny is somewhat different. Samsung make a panorama with video, while Sony makes panoramic images taken of their own. Choice movement on the panorama mode is to the right / left or up / down. The results of full panoramic image resolution is 1120 pixels (height) or 1600 pixels (width). Way of taking panorama is also fairly easy. Simply press the shutter and move the camera slowly. Images will be recorded during the shutter is pressed and there is a mini preview when taking panorama.


The results of this panorama looks nice and can be used to measure the size of the media is not large. At a location where we tested, the results are panoramic NX200 ghost effect (ghosting), look at pictures of cars are white box on the left. While at another location on the stationary object, ghost effects do not appear. See the picture that we took the following graffiti.

Another helpful feature on the NX200 is Correct Distortion. This feature corrects image distortion that often occurs in wide lens. When we tried to activate this feature, the resulting image is much better than without Distortion Correct. Look at the difference in the photos below. To enable this feature, go to the Custom menu.


Some other features are a Smart Filter and the Magic Frame. Filters (effects) are available in pretty much NX200, the vignetting effect, miniature, fish eye, sketch, defog, halftone dots, soft focus, an old movie, old movies 2 and negative. In the fish eye effect, the picture is similar to when we take pictures using a fish eye lens. With similar results is, of course, we could save money to buy a fish eye lens that cost a bit expensive.


Another interesting effect is a miniature. This effect makes the photos we snap, as if we were the object snap miniature (mini-shaped building). To take a picture of a miniature, should be much lower position of the object from the camera. See an example we take the following miniature.


Image Quality and Noise


We tested the use of ISO Samsung NX200 on a red apple. In the test, ISO 100 produces crystal clear images without noise. At ISO 200, the results of our apples that look much sharper picture, but when viewed in detail, noise already there even a little. Here are the results of ISO 100.



ISO 400 the camera produced this visible increase in noise from ISO 200, yet more subtle, while the sharp effects such as the one at ISO 200 is more diminished. At ISO 800 noise also increased, but still fairly unforgivable. Look at the comparison of ISO 1600 with ISO 3200 up to 12800. It appears that a significant increase in noise.

We also did a test a test image on the RAW format. RAW images with speed, aperture and auto WB produces contrast and sharpness are slightly different from the JPEG. This difference we saw when RAW images are converted to JPEG using the default Samsung apps. The following photos are the result of the RAW converted to JPEG using the software built by Samsung.

In the JPEG image, apple images look a bit darker but sharper. As for RAW images, resulting in brighter images but with a sharpness that is more subtle.

Movie


In the Movie mode, Samsung NX200 is capable of recording full HD quality video (1920 x 1080) with 30 fps. While other recording option is the quality of 720p at 30 fps and 60 fps. When we tried recording with full HD resolution at 30 fps, the result looks pretty good. Lighting does not change and the auto focus works well. While sharpness is still unsatisfactory. For full HD-quality video recording, the file is stored with a duration of 5 seconds with a size 8.58 MB in MP4 format.


Recording our second try with HD resolution (1280 x 70) at 60 fps. The result, a more smooth motion video. Try to note the difference between video on the video below. Video recording at speeds below 60 fps looks more comfortable and minimal ghost effects as seen in the video above. Unfortunately the recording speed of 60 fps is not there at full HD resolution, and only at HD resolutions only. Duration video below takes 5 seconds for 8.44 MB memory in MP4 format.




Conclusion


Mirrorless NX200 series is Samsungs latest camera and the first use APS-C sensor of 20.3 MP. This sensor camera to beat its competitors, Sony Alpha NEX-5N (16.1 MP) and the Olympus PEN E-P3 (12.3 MP). Furthermore this sensor size is also above average for most DSLR on the market. The ability to record full HD video to appeal to the Compact System Camera (CSC) is. Video recording can also use the manual controls. While recording with autofocus also works but has problems when recording in low-light situation.

To ISO quality, NX200 very good at low ISO. While noise at ISO 1600 and 3200 starts to look a lot of noise, especially at ISO 12800.

Some features, such as the frame and the filter is in the body of this camera adds a sense of completeness. Panorama mode is also easy to use for the novice user. While for 3D, the results are not much different from normal. Smart control menu option also helps a novice user. On this menu there is a macro feature, sports, night mode and other features. Users who operate in this mode the camera is using a pocket camera seemed full auto. Very practical.

Samsung NX200 Smart Camera does not have internal flash. But do not worry, the sales package we received, NX200 includes a mini-sized external flash that can help capture low-light objects. In addition, there are lens-hood for the lens kit that was brought in paketan Samsung NX200.

Another interesting capability is the full HD resolution video recording. In addition, the NX200 is capable of producing 60 images per second. Magnitude of this velocity produces a smoother movement. But this new rate of 60 fps at a resolution of HD Samsung pinned.

Panasonic has renewed its family of handheld camcorders with new devices FullHD own riding higher zoom models, achieving expand the creative possibilities of the user. All in compact with objectives able to create professional-looking content with its technology camcorders. This is the Panasonic Twin Camera W570, notable for its dual camera, and V160, something more modest but very capable.

 There are two handheld camcorders capable of recording videos in full HD quality (1080p) thanks to BSI sensor (Black-Iluminated sensor) of 2.2 megapixels. The difference between them is in the lens. And is that while the W570 mounts a 28mm wide angle, the V160 does it with one of 32.3 mm . More than enough to achieve a wide viewing angle for videos.

 But these camcorders also surprised by the zoom that bring built, more like top model cameras. On the one hand the W570 brings what Panasonic calls 90X Smart Zoom, which allows approaching any action from a distance. Meanwhile, the V160 has a zoom of 77X magnification. But there is more, since the typical tremor thinking that grows as you zoom on a camcorder, Panasonic has introduced various technologies to reduce it and get a more stable and professional image. Thus, the W570 model features optical image stabilizer five axes HYBRID OIS + to correct the movement of the hand. A technology that relies on Level Shot function software that detects and corrects the inclination of the planes and scenes . Issues that result in a more professional image away from home videos classics .

 Apart from these details, the model Panasonic Twin Camera W570 has a second goal on the end of the LCD screen on a rotating stand that lets you focus at any angle. This ensures that the user can enjoy two different views on the same recording and simultaneously, even focusing his own person to appear in the video that is responsible for capturing the main objective. BackUp also has the function for independent recordings between the two objectives. Narration O mode that reduces ambient sound and increases the volume of the user’s voice to create accounts instantly.

 In terms of connectivity, the W570 also known for having WiFi and NFC. This makes it very fast to link the camcorder to a smartphone or tablet to stream videos, use the device as a remote control, edit or share content on social networks directly. It also has the function to retransmit USTREAM through your WiFi antenna recorded content wirelessly. All this with other options thanks to the Panasonic Image App application available for both Android and iOS.

 What I have both cameras also are the Creative Control option. An edit mode that allows you to apply surprising and colorful effects and filters to recordings. Issues that change the look of the video to look like a classic in 8 mm, a silent film, etc .

 Currently Panasonic has just released these camcorders advantage CES in Las Vegas, not to mention its price. What we do know is coming to market at different times. The V160 will the next February, while the W570 model is delayed until next April. Both a single black model.
