    It is solid and sturdy--the best made NX of the entire lineup. It's image quality is clean and sharp, only giving way to serious pixel degradation at ISOs above 6400.

    The Wi-Fi functionality is simple to use and unable to be beat by any other camera except for Samsung's own Galaxy Camera. So far, no other camera company has been able to create an easier Wi-Fi experience. This is great news for those that desire great image quality and want to have their images available on the web with the blink of an eye.

    Samsung is now packaging the NX300 with Adobe Lightroom giving users $150 worth of free software.

    NX300 has a larger, tilting display, but that's not the only change. As well as gaining a third-inch of diagonal size, the new 3.31" (84mm) AMOLED display is now a touch screen, and has both a wider aspect ratio and a higher total dot count. It still uses a PenTile subpixel matrix, with an 800 x 400 pixel resolution, and a total dot count of around 768,000. (By way of contrast, the NX200 and NX210 had VGA resolution with approximately 614,000 dots.

    The key upgrade in the earlier NX210 model was the addition of built-in wireless networking connectivity, and the Samsung NX300 doesn't just retain this, but gives it quite an overhaul. The earlier camera was only single-channel capable -- we're presuming 2.4GHz -- but the new camera offers 802.11b/g/n compatibility with dual-channel 2.4 / 5GHz capability. That should greatly increase both the variety of networks you can connect to, and your chances of managing a stable, high-speed connection suitable for transferring large images. The NX300 is Wi-Fi Direct-certified.

    Performance from the NX300 was excellent. The camera was able to power up and capture its first image in just 2.0 seconds. When the camera is focused, there is almost no shutter lag, and when the Hybrid AF is left to work, it took between 1/10 and 3/10 of a second, depending on the zoom, amount of light, etc. In single shot mode, the delay between was less than 3/4 of a second at 0.64 or up to 9/10 of a second when using the flash. When it comes to the continuous shooting, we were not able to get the full 8.6fps, but the 7.5fps that we achieved is still very good.

    Samsung is improving slowly, Steven seems to like this cam.

    @IronFilm

    This thing had one strange source and bunch of reposts.

    Every firm release source of parts under GPL.

    For Sony it is same, but no one is doing sensation our of this.

    Well this is fascinating! If Samsung has any chance of taking the lead in the mirrorless race it is people taking full advantage of this (however will anybody? With their tiny market share I expect people's interests in assisting development would stay elsewhere, such as with Magic Lantern. Or with the great work done by VK):

    "Samsung this week released some of the source code that powers their recent NX-300 camera."

    http://photorumors.com/2013/05/18/the-code-of-the-samsung-nx200-and-nx300-mirrorless-cameras-is-now-available-as-open-source/

    I haven't looked into it, but I bet they only released the parts of the code they absolutely had to as required by the open source license they had to use. Still, a small step in the right direction.... :-D

    The NX300's is Samsung's best compact system camera to date, offering cutting edge features and excellent image quality at a price that won't break the bank. We'd have liked a built-in flash, fully-articulating AMOLED screen, a dedicated AEL button and a larger continuous shooting buffer, but there's little else to complain about.

    Significantly cheaper on launch than its predecessor, the NX300 still manages to deliver significantly more features and performance. The addition of the tilting, touchscreen AMOLED screen, hybrid AF system and faster processing times make a camera that we liked even better. With the NX300 also featuring built-in wi-fi and NFC connectivity, Samsung's unique i-Function interface, fast continuous shooting and an intuitive interface, it's right up there with its main rivals

    It seems the way they are doing 3D within one lens is to use an internal LCD shutter that rapidly switches open/close alternating between left and right. Hard to describe in words - but the left half opens for a left view, and then the right half opens for a right view. This probably happens fast but there would be a tiny synch difference between left and right. The result is a very narrow stereobase. The 2D/3D lens is sold separately (45mm).

    Interested to see the image quality. Been searching for bit rate on video.
