STRENGTHS
The Samsung NX30 is a camera with great image quality in a robust, comfortable and well-built body, aesthetically similar to that of an SLR and with the same features but without the weight and size that a camera with these characteristics would have in a format with mirror or DSLR. The screen is foldable and of high quality , as well as the viewfinder, the quick access controls through the dial or through the screen are useful, practical and intuitive. It also has a WIFI connection to directly share the images without having to go home ? In short, a semi-professional camera at the level of demanding amateurs ?
Oh, and user reviews on Amazon leave it very good (4.4 out of 5), something that is always recommended to keep in mind whatever the camera you're interested in ?
WEAK POINTS
What for some is not an inconvenience, for others it is an almost insurmountable obstacle. And by this, I mean that the detractors of the electronic viewfinder are going to have moral dilemmas with this camera because, although it is electronic, all the reviews speak highly of it and, in addition, it is folding, which opens up an unsuspected world of possibilities ?
The price can be a great barrier to get this camera if we do not have a large budget. Right now it is at 650 Euroson Amazon, but you can find it for almost 850. It's not surprising, since it's an almost professional camera (or almost without it ?) The good thing is that if you have this money you'll have a camera for a good season.
At the moment, there isn't as much variety in optics as you get with other brands, although that doesn't mean there isn't more than enough variety and high-quality optics to add to this magnificent body.
