From home appliances to smartphones and even smart watches, Samsung has launched products in almost all segments of consumer technology. While its smartphones may hog the limelight these days, Samsung has steadily been improving its cameras too. Earlier this year, it launched the Android-based Galaxy Camera. The operating system gave it some advantages, such as access to cloud storage and photo apps (Dropbox, Instagram, Flickr, etc), but the picture quality was a big let-down. Now, we have the NX300, which is a Wi-Fi camera that has interchangeable lenses.
With NX300, Samsung has opted for a retro look. This device reminds of the legendary Pentax and Minolta cameras. The body has a leather finish, which is excellent for grip.

Thanks to the touchscreen, using the buttons is not compulsory, which is good because they are a little too small for regular use. The design is an eye-pleasing change, in both looks and function. The NX300 body does not have flash, but Samsung has included an external flash in the box. Just attach the flash to the camera, switch on flash in settings and it works flawlessly.

Pictures are vivid, and the colour reproduction is accurate. In low-light, the pictures looked good, but not above ISO3200. For better low-light performance, users should look at DSLR or competing products.
The auto-focus (AF) system is quick, which means the camera mostly locks on to the subject very fast. In case you are taking macro pictures with the kit lens (18-55 mm), make sure that you are at least 6 cm away from the subject. Once that is done, the
