The Mini Mirrorless Camera You Didn't Know About

If Samsung hadn't discontinued their professional camera line, they could have outshined everyone. They were introducing groundbreaking ideas that outpaced the competition, but then they abruptly halted. It felt like they stopped because the market was too simple to tackle. The Samsung Galaxy NX camera and NX1 were both revolutionary during their time. They could easily revive the Samsung Galaxy NX camera, making it even better. Simply updating the software and incorporating a new UI would make it a hit on the internet.

The Samsung NX series should have stayed alive a lot longer than it was, it was a shame that they dumped the entire camera division for no apparent reason. And for us people who invested in the NX series, we were left out in the wind with no information why.

As a long time nx-mini owner, I absolutely adored this camera. I used it primarily for inventory photography at work taking around 1,700 to 2,200 photos a day. The contrast detect while slow was accurate and rarely let me down. The only real ussues I had were the low light performance and occasional software glitches that had me taking out the battery from time to time. However for a camera that actually fits in your pocket, I loved it. I have since sold my mini and upgraded to the lumix lx-10 as my pocket camera and the lumix s5 as my work horse, but the nx-mini will always hold a special place in my heart. Without that camera I wouldn't be doing photography for a living. It's also the only camera I've sold at a profit. Those little buggers hold their value

I have one and it is a blast to use among friends and family. Incredible for black and white photos and highly pocketable. I also have the Samsung nx 2000, incredible camera. Samsung nx line should have more popularity, i guess they focused on smartphones over cameras

God damm these YouTubers making old camera prices go up.

2:12 dictated by its ultra thin profile😂 good on

Omg I did see you here in Calgary. I thought it was my imagination. Ironically was watching on one of your vids as I passed you 😂

I believe in around 2013 Sony released their Sony RX1, full frame compact mirrorless with 35mm fixed lens, it was so small you could easily put in a pocket or so sadly they abandoned that line, imagine this today but with like 28mm lens and their new 61mp sensor

I've wanted one for a while. My favorite camera is my Samsung NX3000. I use it pretty regularly, got it in 2017. I've tried to get an NX Mini for a long time, they used to go for only about $100-150 but was never able to justify it. Nowadays I can't even justify it since camera reviews shot the price up 5x (dang it, MarkusPix...). The trick is not using Samsung's first party lenses though. Maybe the 30mm. The 16mm 2.4 prime isn't too great. It's great for vintage lenses though, the Mini should be excellent for C-mount lenses too.

I just purchased mine from eBay and found the 17mm as well. I checked eBay everyday for rtwo weeks straight until I found it!!

Just got one yesterday! Can't wait to play. Thanks for the video.

Delete this now, the priecs are going to go up

I still have my Samsung NX Mini in Mint. I bought it around the time it was released and it was a good decision for sure! It's old but still works just fine! I bought it mostly for vlogging but it's great for when we need to fit a lot of people in the frame since it's a wide angle camera.

One of my favourite things about Tom's videos is that there's always going to be one, and only one micropenis joke hidden somewhere, and it's getting really entertaining trying to predict when it's gonna happen

I had this camera. It was very impressive and did great video. I only wish it had a greater selection of lenses.

Imagine if they had made the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 with this lens mount in the middle of the surface of the phone that currently has a plane metal look. Mirrorless flip phone camera!

I got that NX Mini in 2019 for about $150 US dollars, it's super uncommon but it's wonderful, the only cons are its tiny sensor and its lack of lenses. I don't remember if it has manual lenses or adapters out there. It was a point and shoot camera but with interchangeable lenses.

I have multiple Samsung Cameras. My entire collection of cameras is made up of 7 Samsung cameras and the DJI Osmo Action and the DJI Osmo Pocket. Samsung NX Mini Samsung Galaxy Camera Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Samsung Galaxy NX Samsung NX30 Samsung NX500 Samsung NX1 I also have several of the Samsung kit lenses. I also have the Samsung NX 45mm and the Samsung NX 85mm which are 2 of my favorite lenses. I also have gotten several amazing shots from the NX 50mm to 200mm lens which is an amazing lens. I’m also currently looking for for the NX 18mm to 200mm lens and the NX 60mm lens.

I have one, just love this camera! great pictures in your pocket..

I keep hearing how modern smartphone cameras are better than these older 1 inch sensor cameras. But here's the thing, I have a RX100 m4, soon 10 years old, and I take it everywhere. Coincidentally I take photos at the same time and place as my friends who all have samsungs and iphones of the latest, and almost latest variety. We usually compare shots afterwards, and 90% of the time the rx100 m4 produces a better image, jpeg straight from camera, than the phones does. Admittedly it's my own picture profile as the stock sony one sucks, but still.
