@Vitaliy_Kiselev It appears that the 50fps is only in 1280x720 video mode, while 1920x1080/25fps and 1920x810/24fps, http://samsungcamera.com/the-first-interchangeable-lens-camera-with-3g4g-lte-wi-fi-connectivity-introducing-samsung-galaxy-nx/

Interesting and a bit weird system. Great to see a 4.8-inch HD screen, but unfortunately it's fixed. Interesting that due to the Galaxy/Android the voice control is available for the camera. Add to this the Bluetooth phone headsets, and one plausibly can give remotely simple commands to the camera, like "aperture priority f8" or "custom setting three"...

Yep, video looks bad.

So how simple is it to develop a RAW App for this, compared to a Canon DSLR?

Samsung seems to hike advertised retail price to US$1600 for body-only.

I think managers just come from few weeks of holidays where they smoked pot at leat 12 hours a day.

If you'd have said crack, I would have agreed.

Galaxy NX can record high-resolution Full HD 1080p 1920x1080 movies at 30/25fps and 720p 1280x720 movies at 60/50fps. There's also a more cinematic 1920x810 pixel, 24fps mode and a 640x480 at 60/50/25fps mode available. The Movie mode is accessed either via the dedicated one-touch record button on the top of the camera or the soft movie button on the LCD screen. Stereo sound is recorded during video capture via the small internal mics on the side of of the camera.

The Samsung Galaxy NX produced images of excellent quality. The 20.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS megapixel sensor used in the Galaxy NX produces noise-free JPEG images at ISO 100-800, with ISO 1600 also looking very good. ISO 3200 and 6400 only show a little noise, while the fastest settings of ISO 12800 and 25600 are quite a lot noisier and suffer from softening of fine detail and a loss of saturation, but the images are still perfectly usable.

The camera records 1920x1080 video at 25fps, or 1920x810 at 24fps. 50fps is available when recording 720p video, and wind cut is available. Quality is decent, although for best results a tripod or steady hands are recommended.

Color and detail are very good to excellent in good light. Exposure is reliable, although at times exposure compensation can be needed to tweak the look of the photos, and avoid over-exposure of bright subjects.

So far we love the camera. It is extremely easy and fun to use.

Image quality is decent, as we would expect from an APS-C-sized sensor. The Galaxy NX's photo quality is excellent , and holds up well against DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Many manual adjustments are available via menus.

It's an excellent photo- and video-capture machine, and it even works well as a portable Android device. Sadly, it misses the mark when it comes to integration -- even if sharing photos between apps worked as advertised, it's ultimately nothing you can't do with a WiFi-enabled ILC or point-and-shoot, or even an add-on lens camera like Sony's compact and cheap QX10.

As a digital camera it certainly offers up image and video quality superior to that of a smart phone camera, with the ability to customize camera performance with a variety of interchangeable lenses. Overall performance is pretty good, still image quality and video are pretty good as well.

There are many great qualities to the Galaxy NX: image quality is very good with excellent high-resolution images at low to mid ISOs; the impressively large LCD screen is bright, colorful and easy to see in bright sunlight; and the use of the Android OS expands the functionality of the camera with all sorts of powerful apps for editing, sharing, and even capturing images.
