Hi .... just bought Samsung NX300 yesterday and would like to find buddies who share the same interest on that gadget.




Technical Specs


Review


Photo Samples



Firmware Update

Maybe u can share some of your personal thoughts of the camera.

Well ... I'm new into this kind of camera ... before this I'm just a PNS and phone camera user ...

After do some survey and comparing few camera models ...getting opinions from few friends and recommendation by shop owners based on the specs and price range.. thats why I choose NX300.

How much you got the camera? It looks quite good, and get a lot of positive reviews too. But still the camera isn't that common or popular since Samsung didn't really put effort into promoting the camera.

the camera itself RM2200 ... plus extended warranty ... class 10 32gb sdcard ... lens cover ... kena ketuk almost RM2650...

hmm...i have NX10...the lens from NX10 should be the same as NX300 right?

I guess so...as long its NX lenses..

I had the nx200, was a pretty good camera, better than the Nexs that I had. Kept the Fuji in the end though. Post some pictures pls.

1 thing about samsung camera is their lack of lens and lack of fast lens...

Consider for this kind of camera ...have you tried NX300? the AF is very fast ...

samsung actually made some good primes, but not sure about the price though.

official price around RM900 - RM2000 ... but can get cheaper outside..

how much???

aiyo... try to read previous posts before asking silly question like this la... or u wan get post count?

relek le budak baru belajar guna forum ni tunjuk le ajar

The price tht u mention 2200 is come with kit or only body?

the price is really cheap compare to Fuji, and Olympus.

yeap yeap but too bad it lacks the viewfinder

I bought this camera too. So far, with my limited skills and knowledge in photography, it doesn't disappoint me
Sometimes, there are things which bug me, like when it fails to focus, but it is mainly because I'm still learning and exploring it.
The camera itself is a great buy for me, worth the money and will consider getting better lens and flash in the future.
It comes bundled with Adobe Lightroom 4. How I love that software spending my free times creating presets

BTW, sharing this to show some photos taken with NX300

Maybe u guys can share what r the current lens available for this system at the top too.

I think lens lineup is important for interchangeable lens system

http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/camera-...meras/nx-lenses

the whole range of NX Lenses are here.

Interestingly, they have 2 pancake lenses, one is 16mm another is 30mm.

Also a 85mm f1.4 portrait lens, and a 60mm Stabilized Macro lens.

And usual kit lenses (18-55, 18-200) are available too.

Body + 18-55mm kitlens + free carrying bag + free spare battery + free battery charger + free tripod + free adobe lightroom 4


Eh?? You didnt get the free extra battery + charger ke?



BTW, the camera firmware (v1.20) has been released last month ...can google it..

Bro, where did you get 2200? mind to share the shop? thanks.

Nope, didn't get it Bought it in May. At that time, I can't find anyone selling it with extra battery and external charger. Total kena for camera with card RM2295. Then bought third party battery + charger from Ebay.

I tried to download the firmware but speed is damn slow. Have you upgraded yours?

Lowyat Plaza 1st floor... but most of the shop over there offer RM2200 for the camera ... the different is just what do they offer for free gift.

Oooo... I thought the offer started in May ...

Yea I already update the firmware...you can try using Samsung I launcher to get the update..its in the CD..

This Camera used Android OS? I got it mixed up with the Samsung NX now dunno which is which.

just bought this camera. there are a lot of lens for this camera since can use nx lenses. just go through the lens catalog. many choices but frikkin expensive. anyway. good camera though. easy to bring along and ringan. suitable for travelling

Encik Lidah .. berapa harga dapat?

setahu aku, dapat flash skali... bro x dapat ke?

mmg dapat pun...standard package..

Wow.. very good price now. I bought it in May for RM22xx or RM23xx.. can't remember. Only comes with the kit lens, slow 8GB SD card and small camera bag.

So far added the 30mm prime. And adaptor for Nikon F mount.

Wanna get the 12-24mm but I think Samsung Malaysia is not bringing this lens in. Have to search outside. There is also a 10mm fisheye coming..

Btw, anyone bought a half-case? There are a few models from China in Ebay that are affordable. The Gariz one is nice but too expensive.

price you got from where?
anyway, NX300 is on my wishlist. I find it more sturdier than the younger brother NX2000.. did not own it yet but plan to get it along with the 50-200mm lens.. which is nice.

Most camera shop in plaza lowyat offer that price...

but the one i approached comes with accessories kit which includes an extra battery plus charger for NX300..
8GB SD is already in the box.. not mistaken they give another 8GB SD..price for it on RRP is RM2699 but i get is RM2294.. sadly dun have budget now..

try to survey some other shops ...and whats the point having two 8GB sdcard...either they give you free 16GB or add some money to have 32GB class 10 sdcard...

Hi guys, just to Gei Poh (busybody) abit. Anyone tried the 3D lens on still shot?
Starting to saving up for a mirror-less camera, haven't decide which to go for yet.

nx300 got it body and lens (18-55mm-III) firmware update recently.

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/EV...downloadName=FM

There's a RM200 rebate now at Mid Valley now... Samsung's roadshow...

Warranty only valid in Singapore??? Am also looking at the nx300m to buy but worried if there are any camera issues thenheadache on where to send it for repairs.

why not wait till it's available in Malaysia?

I don't think Samsung offers international warranty. If you're worried about that, then I'd suggest you get it locally as well.

So far I have not seen the nx300m in Malaysia. And its been out for 6 mths? Love the fact that it can tilt 180degrees which is good. Since you have the nx300m, is there any problems with connecting to the Samsung android app since it runs on Tizen platform?

Anyone here owns the NX300 with the 3D lens ?
What format is the video in?
Is it in 2 separate video file or a single file ?

Thanks in advance !!!

great camera, but don't know why i dont have confidence with samsung gadget......

lucky i'm not aiming for interchangeble lens cam....

Some people do have skepticals thinking towards korean product...

Was thinking to buy 30mm f/2 pancake lens.. Any one know where to buy with affordable price? Other website showing rm1099.00.....

Try DSLR at Subang Parade, located at the Digital place where there are many handphone shops. Can't remember exactly how much I paid, but definitely below RM1k. This is supposed to be an affordable lens. No i-function, old focusing mechanics with noisy motor and slower than the newer lenses.. but, very sharp and portable. Still my favourite lens.

Btw, they don't keep stock and you have to order and come back and collect after few days.

Don't think they will bring in the NX300m to Malaysia. Still have plenty of NX300 stock to clear

did you guys realize ...with current firmware ...anything you upload to facebook or picasa will not be there even though the upload process show its completed.

Another firmware update has been released on 7/7/2014.

http://www.samsung.com/my/support/model/EV...DSTMY-downloads

How's the camera so far after a year of usage? Thinking if it'll make a big difference without the viewfinder as I'm currently using an entry level DSLR but want to change into something lighter and less bulky.

the camera still good and fun to use...but nowadays a lot new camera model even more fun to be used.

not bad

It's a great camera! And Samsung has constantly been providing firmware updates not only for bug fixes and support for new lens, but also feature improvements. The body is good operational wise, probably the best user interface for mirrorless cameras. Lens are mostly very good and affordable compared to other brands. Only problem is difficulty getting those lenses in Malaysia.

Without eye-level viewfinder, need to make sure your hands are steady and be more gentle when pressing the shutter button. Unfortunately it doesn't take a soft-release button. And outdoors in bright sunlight, may be difficult seeing the screen. Composing is actually easier on the big display.

Hope this helps.

got latest firmware update on last 8/8 ..nothing much .. just improvement on video recording and playback.

Wts nx300 lens..20mm f2.8..age or item 1 year..rarely use..rm550..pm/w.app/sms/call-azfar0107661506..tq..

Does anyone know when Samsung is launching the NX400?

Does anyone know where to get NX lenses at decent prices in KL or Penang? I'm looking for 16-50mm PZ lens and 45mm lens.
It is sad to see that nx cameras are so undersung as compared to sony's/m43 cameras, samsung's nx line is actually pretty good.

if compare nx300m and nx3000, which 1 is better?

Nx300m is in higher class. Nx3000 is lighter and cheaper. Lcd display not so good.

No special thread for nx geng aa? i bought nx3000, a cheaper version. the sensor size is the king, photos came out ummppphhh quality, even in the no skill hand of my. now just need to look for lenses, so hard to find.

Congrats! Yeah, lenses hard to find in Malaysia. Have to order first. BTW which lens came with your nx3000?

Maybe you can start an NX thread? :-)

the kit lense only, but come with power zoom and ois, which is really nice. i now searching for zoom lens, or the manual nx2000 lens. em afraid to start a thread, since i dun see lots of topic on nx camera. maybe here we still skeptical on samsung in photograpy area.

The new nx1 might catch a lot new customers though

People aren't skeptical about Samsung. Its just Samsung has not given a competitive product yet to really snatch market share. When I first got into digital photography and video I didn't hear or see much of fujifilm. Their new tech of an awesome sensor that makes awesome unmatched Jpegs. New awesome lenses to back the system up even more. Many have dropped their Canon/Nikon DSLR system for a Fujifilm. I was close to jumping to Fujifilm too but they suck in the video area. And I care about video more than photos so no go.

Interchangeable lens cameras are getting targeted mostly by the enthusiasts consumers. They check and read reviews on what will be awesome for their money. Samsung doesn't have much edge over the other brands. If they do I have not seen it yet. Right now Samsung looks similar to a well established Sony and its not much cheaper. So I can see people would go for Sony rather than Samsung. Also Samsung lens range isn't appealing either.

The Samsung NX1 does look promising though and so does their new F2.8 zoom. Videography review sites are talking about this camera. If the next Samsung NX junior cameras also come with full manual controls and 4K video it might really grow on to the videography community.

with top dog like nikon, canon in DSLR, yeah i think samsung product is not that competitive. but in csc, i think in my opinion they are pretty good, compare to other csc format like micro 4 3rd, especially in pricing. u get aps-c sensor for the price of other smaller size sensor type, and it is cheaper than sony offering. just i think that they loose out in lens selection and availability.

*Bullshit*

Products of different brands have their own pros and cons. Fuji JPEGs have wonderful colours and are clean, but have less details compared to those from high megapixel CMOS sensors. Autofocus is among the worse. Slow & hard to acquire focus is dim conditions. Lens are excellent but very expensive. Would go for the XT1 and the 56f/1.2 though if I have money to burn

Sony.. don't like the ergonomics. Handgrip too close to lens mount. Big lens, small body - very unbalanced. User Interface sucks. Native lens selection sucks. Good ones are too big and too expensive. (talking about the APS-C mirrorless system, no experience with the Fullframe ones like A7)

Therefore, the best all-rounder and most practical one I find is the Samsung NX system Contrary to what you said, I find the NX lens range very good - and more importantly *AFFORDABLE*. Only problem is the lack of availability in shops in Malaysia. Have to place order first to get it. Samsung not popular I think mainly because of the Brand and lack of marketing. Many people blindly go for Sony. But that's good for people like me.. once in a while can find heavily discounted Samsung NX products.. price go down very fast

The PZ16-50 pancake zoom is very nice! It's not only compact but also performs very well according to several reviews and feedbacks in the forums. I was trying to get this lens to replace my 18-55, but in Malaysia they don't sell it by itself. Only comes with a camera body.

You mean you are searching for a tele-zoom lens like the 55-200mm? I've seen several shops selling this at low price to clear stock. There are three versions already of this zoom. The first version I think don't have the i-function button. So check first before you buy. I'm waiting for the 50-150mm f/2.8

For cheap portrait lens you can consider getting the 45mm f/1.8 2D version.

until now i think its only sold with the body, u have to wait for people like me got bored with the lense.
mind sharing where is the shop?

Sunway Pyramid, the camera shop opposite of Canon. LLG2 floor. Cheap only when they clear stock. Otherwise, go to Fotokem near Harvey Norman. Look for the Malay sales lady. She normally gives good price

Or you can try DSLR in Subang Parade IT area. I've not been there for long time already, so I don't know the sales lady who gave me good prices is still working there or not.

Took the plunge today and got the NX300M as an upgrade from my Canon S95. Can't wait to test it out

My very first picture and auto correction directly from the camera's effect feature.

Just upgraded from my NX10 to NX300m with 16-50 kit len.

May I know any lens firmware update for 16-50 OIS?

Also where can I get a case for it?

Regards,

Agreed.

I surveyed a few brands before concluding to NX300 for my gf. I have been eyeing it since NX200 time and finally bought the NX300 (brand new) at a very "discounted" price. Advantage of less popular brand for camera..
I personally using Canon DSLR.

Sony's price point is at the high side with very bad UI. I find it very un-userfriendly. Samsung on the other hand is very intuitive and easy to use, even for a beginner. Touch screen gives plus point in navigation. Lens choice wise, for a normal day to day shooting, a 18-55 kit lens serves all the purpose for my gf. I'm only looking for a 30mm pancake lens to couple with it and that's it. No more upgrade required.

After few months of usage as well as comparing to my Canon. I conclude that:

NX300 has BETTER:
- metering
- auto white balance (more accurate than my DSLR in indoor)
- color (manually enhanced in settings)
- image quality (kit vs kit, pls keep L lens away for a moment)
- more menu options (most useful panorama, HDR and beauty face)
- wifi link to smartphone (for u know what reason....)

NX300 is WORSE in:
- battery life (but no issue can charge with power bank )
- screen resolution (when compared to my canon, the resolution is shyt)
- overheat when continuous usage esp under hot weather (common to all mirrorless, just beware)
- over aggressive noise control (can be either good or bad, and can be changed in settings)

I'm currently looking for 30mm f2.0 pancake and a camera pouch. If anyone has any contact, do let me know. Cheapest price I surveyed was RM850 (new) for the lens.

and to add on, many may think that NX series is a rip off of Sony's NEX series. But if u dig deeper into history of NX series, it's prior to NEX. Just that Samsung did not do proper marketing and the quality and design were "not there" yet.

I have a 20mm F.2.8 and 45mm F1.8 for sale. If anyone interested please PM me.

may i know how much is 2nd hand for Samsung NX300 now? product bought on july 2013. tks.

Hey yo how much u selling your 45mm

Already sold around 2 months ...
