The NX30 has an APS-C sized CMOS sensor with a resolution of 20.3 MP, placing it favourably against other CSCs in its class. Samsung's DRIMe IV images processor aids operational speed and deliver an impressive continuous shooting rate of up to 9fps it either Raw of JPEG. The processor does struggle a bit though in the thick of shooting. When shooting Raw and JPEG files once you;re run up a succession of images it takes a few seconds until the buffer clears.
Samsung's heritage also proves of benefit with the outstanding rear LCD. The 3in, 1.036k-dot screen on the rear of the NX30 is tilt-able and touch sensitive. Spec wise it's hugely impressive, and it delivers a user experience to match. It's got a fast refresh rate with little lag and a good range of colours. The touch-screen functionality is nicely intuitive and allows for fast AF point selection.
The NX30 also sport an impressive, and unique, EVF. It carries a resolution of 3.358k dots, a responsive eye sensor an interestingly, is able to rotate around 80. This is a fantastic addition rotating the eyepiece enables different shooting angles and adds a new dimension to shooting.
In terms of design, Samsung has made the NX30 resemble a mini DSLR. As a result, it's touch larger than its NX20 predecessor. although this is mostly from welcome additions like the beefed up gront grip. THe only gripe with the build is the material. Unlike its magnesium alloy rivals, the NX30 is constructed from a polycarbonate material that doesn't have the quality feel that you'd expect from a camera in this class.
In terms of AF, the NX30 features the Advanced Hybrid Autofocus system seen on the Galaxy NX. This system combines 247 contrast detect points with 105 phase detect points. No complaints here - its locks focus accurately and almost instantly. It only really struggles in low light, and even then hesitation is slight.
Noise is well controlled at the lower end of the ISO setting, with very little luminance noise at ISO 400. At ISO more prominent, although in camera noise reduction does a good job of dealing with it. At ISO 1600 and 3200 there is more evidence of noise and of in camera noise reduction compromising and smudging finer detail. Above this, noise becomes a real issue, and the maximum ISO of 25.600 is best avoided.
Verdict
Although the Samsung NX30 might not beast the best build quality. it has an awful lost going for it elsewhere, sporting one of the most complete feature sets of any camera in its class. The LCD screen and Wi-fi functionality impress in particular pleasingSamsung NX300 - Best For
