Editorial note

The Samsung NX300 is a camera that stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 20.3 MP CMOS sensor. Users will appreciate the accuracy and richness of colors in their captures. Additionally, the built-in image stabilizer helps ensure sharp photos and videos, even in motion, which is an undeniable asset for action photographers. The 3.3-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels offers an immersive visual experience, making it easier to view images. The built-in Wi-Fi connectivity also allows for instant sharing of photos on social media, which is a plus for modern users. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The lack of a built-in flash could pose a problem when shooting in low-light conditions, necessitating the purchase of an external flash. Furthermore, the unspecified optical zoom limits the ability to capture distant details, which may frustrate some users. Manual focus, while precise, can be a hurdle for beginners who prefer a simpler approach. In terms of battery life, the battery allows for up to 320 shots, which is reasonable but may require frequent recharging during long photography sessions. Finally, the weight of 331 g, while providing a certain robustness, may be considered a bit heavy for a compact camera, affecting comfort during prolonged use. Overall, the Samsung NX300 offers good value for money with advanced features, but it is essential to weigh these advantages against its disadvantages to determine if it meets your specific photography needs.
