This is a very innovative feature on the EX1, to help speed up operation and reduce errors by pressing the wrong button in quick shooting situations. On the grip, Samsung also more thoroughly integrated infrared sensor compatible with some of its remote control.
The top of the EX1 is to select two disks rotate, which, helped drive out the switching between the shooting modes and basic disk, the inner side assumed the role as the boot source, timer, single shot / continuous shooting and BKT (bracketing) used for HDR. Flashes sinking mechanism works much like the Canon S90 but instead controls the menu on the screen as competitors, users can turn off lights with mechanical buttons quite easily and quickly. Experimental fact that, due to the small size and slightly lower than the flip side of the machine but EX1 flash bright enough only to ensure at a distance of nearly three meters when setting ISO 100. If still not satisfied, users can mount more lights left on base as the line ED-SEF20A hotshoe flashgun capital for NX10 hybrid camera.
The rear EX1 a little bit tight due to the big screen have been eating and auxiliary button. However, the control system of the machine is extremely easy to get to know the layout of function keys relatively scientific and fairly intuitive menu design. EX1 provides 13 default scene, including some interesting modes like Beauty Shot help identify and then handle the brightness and color across the face, Frame Guide helps make available to another angle, only the base and press machine ...

CCD-megapixel resolution, but only 10 have sizes up to 1 / 1, 7 inch, equivalent rivals Canon S90 (or G11) and only slightly smaller than the Panasonic LX3. Most of the features on the EX1 is a system of Schneider-Kreuznach lens with focal length ranging from 24mm wide angle to telephoto 72mm, with optical stabilization. Compared with the lens fitted on two versions of S90 and G11 with the focal length in turn is 28-135mm and 28-140mm, Samsung EX1 quite limited in their ability and shooting range layout but has the advantage than when faced with large areas of landscape. Because the focal length starting from 24mm 3x zoom of the EX1 should also allow the capture a bit more flexible compared to 2.5 x the LX3. In addition, Samsung EX1 also owns a large aperture lens is "horrified" f/1.8 and f/2.4 at the widest angle when maximum zoom, extra strength to fight off any rivals any in its segment.

If you save files as JPEG compression, the machine will automatically reduce the user of this error should not worry almost to the processing software. Images lack contrast when shooting steam outdoors. Metering works very unstable so you should consider using more features exposure compensation in case of necessity. The color processor reproduced fairly accurately with the neutral component, not too bright or too dull. Noise reduction capability of the machine operation is also very impressive. Images are still quite smooth and when to raise the ISO to 800. At higher sensitivity, reducing noise of the EX1 mechanism works only at an average rate should remain fairly sharp images, not smooth like the Canon S90 or appearing too much like Panasonic LX3 hotel. A little interference as colored precipitates appear in dark image areas to raise the ISO to 800 but this bug is still acceptable.
Samsung EX1 support video recording with image quality is quite good but the resolution just stop at VGA (640 x 480 pixels, 30 frames per second) and single-channel sound (mono). Battery life is quite high, about 250 types of Photographyblog test image and can be recharged at any computer via a USB connection.
With significant upgrades to their form as well as technology equipment inside, Samsung EX1 is a "new star" on tourism market advanced camera next to names waver from Panasonic or Canon.
