Surprise! It's a new post... on time!
How are you enjoying the holidays so far? I've been stuffing my face full with Pig's Stomach soup, and it's been simply splendid.
Samsung kindly lent me a NX200 for the NAPBAS trip, and as a result, I've been neglecting my D90. Some of you may recall the mini-review that I did for the NX100 last year, and I've decided to do a more indepth one for the new model. So without further ado, here's my take on the NX200!
The Technical Overview
- 20.3 Megapixels with APC-C size CMOS Sensor
- ISO 100 - 12,800
- 1080p HD Movie Recording
- Weight: 220g
- 3.0" AMOLED Display
In English, it means that it's a really light mirrorless 4/3 camera with a spectactular ISO (film speed/light sensitivity) range, "true" HD and a crystal clear display.
Flash vs No Flash
As you can see, the flash doesn't make much of a difference in the day, lol. It's fantastic at night, though. The NX200, like its predecessor, does not come with a built-in flash. My set came with an external flash (SEF8A). I believe that the previous flash I reviewed ran on batteries, whereas this one is "powered" by the camera itself.
My opinion regarding the external flash hasn't changed- It's one of my favorite things about the NX series, as it makes your complexion look really good. Just take the photos in this post for instance. All the camwhore photos were unedited!
(And this is also why they don't usually ask shallow women to review cameras...)
