Samsung has made a truly compact camera in the NX Mini
And inside its portable chassis is a wealth of specs you wouldn't expect in such a small shell. There's a oneinch
20.5Megapixel sensor packed in
And there's a new lens mount that Samsung has made j
Amazingly small ILC
Tilting 180-degree LCD
Decent stills and movies with enough light
Lens adapter for using traditional lenses
The editors didn't like
The interchangeable lenses are pointless and undercut the compactness of the camera. There are only two lenses to choose from
And neither offers compelling specs. There are no sharing features which distinguish the camera as being particularly "smarter"
Thin frame makes weight disproportionately balanced
Provides awkward handling
Lowquality plastic
Slow startup
No lens cap
Mono microphone
AF struggles in video mode
MicroSD cards
NXM lenses incompatible with APSC mirrorless interchangeablelens cam
Limited lens range
Smudgy images
No flash
We'd happily swap the selfie feature for a more versatile screen hinge
We miss the iFN lens features
New lens system is risky
No handgrip
No viewfinder
Small sensor
While we like Samsung's NX Mini for its portability
The interchangeable lens system means it's a little less portable if you want to take advantage of its versatility. That means shelling out for more lenses

I can see how the style and uniqueness of the NX Mini will find it a pretty solid market of young-folk. But I have a hard time recommending it as something to capture high quality photos with. The most formidable competitor is the Sony RX100. While the mo...
Super pocketable – Slim and Light, Selfie Cam FTW – the flip up screen is a selfie queens musthave, Many Connectivity options – MobileLink, WiFi and NFC to connect directly to social media, cloud storage, email, smart devices and more
White Faux Leather – can get dirty over time, No front dedicated hand grip, Limited lens selection – No biggie if you're an average joe
There's a lot to like about the NX mini, as I kept repeating in the post. But just for conclusion purposes, here's the Top 3 Likes and Dislikes:-What I LikeSuper pocketable – Slim and LightSelfie Cam FTW – the flip up screen is a selfie queens must-haveMa...
Tiltable display for selfies, Ability to change lens to expand shooting options, High quality build and finish, Good battery life
Mono mic, Light coloured body and strap can get dirty easily, Washed out display under sun, Noisy image at high ISOs or under low light (with the provided lens), No inbody image stabilisation, Lack of optional lenses and accessories; such as the external
When the NX mini came up, I didn't see the sense in making something like this. It felt like it was just trying to fill a market that was non-existent; something between mirrorless APS-C based cameras and compacts. It was an entirely different story once...
Good photo and video quality, Super portable, Selfiefriendly & responsive LCD, Affordably priced, Battery life
Noisy on higher ISO settings, Uncomfortable for larger hands, Mono mic
All in all, we have to say that the Samsung NX mini is actually quite a good device especially for those who travel a lot and prefer a more portable camera. Also, it is very competitively priced, bevy of features and performance, it is quite a good compe...

The Samsung NX Mini is superb for capturing selfie as it has a very wide lens that doesn't require you to have long hand take a picture of yourself. With the help of the Tiltable 3.0 inch Flip-up Screen, you can have perfect shot by looking at the display
We find the NX mini has some issue in identifying the the right exposure to use when we are shooting picture in Auto mode. The pictures tend to turn out darker where we can use a better combination of Shutter Speed and Aperature to shoot a better picture,
