Camera OverviewSamsung NX1000

The Samsung NX1000 is a compact mirrorless camera built around a 20MP APS-C sensor, offering a solid entry point into interchangeable-lens photography. Mounted on the Samsung NX lens system, it delivers a maximum still resolution of 5472x3648 pixels alongside a burst mode capable of up to 8 frames per second — a respectable rate for a camera in this class. Video shooters get 1080p recording at frame rates up to 60fps, providing smooth footage for everyday use.

The camera's 3.0-inch LCD display with 921k dots of resolution gives a clear view for composing shots and reviewing images, while the autofocus system uses contrast detection to lock onto subjects. Connectivity is a highlight here: built-in Wi-Fi makes it straightforward to share images wirelessly, complemented by USB connectivity. The camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, keeping storage options widely accessible.

At just 222g and measuring 114 x 62.5 x 37.5 mm, the NX1000 is genuinely pocketable relative to most interchangeable-lens cameras. The ISO range runs from 100 to 12800, and the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 320 shots per charge. Image stabilization is handled at the lens level rather than in-body.

The Samsung NX1000 pairs a 20MP APS-C sensor with a compact, travel-friendly body measuring just 114 x 62.5 x 37.5 mm and weighing 222g, making it one of the lighter options in the interchangeable-lens camera category. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 5472x3648 pixels and supports burst shooting at up to 8fps for action and fast-moving subjects. Video capabilities include 1080p recording at up to 60fps, suitable for smooth everyday footage.

The 3.0-inch LCD with 921k dots serves as the sole composition and review interface, as no viewfinder is included. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity enables wireless image transfer directly from the camera.
