Here are some samples of this Samsung's compact camera shooting raw with a schneider kreuznach f1.8 lens.

If you wouldn't have told us is a compact camera, I would think on a MF lens test Wink

It's on my to-buy list for this christmas, I love it. I's the best RAW compact shooter on the market. Try 800 ISO in RAW, it's amazing for a small sensor.

It's a top compliment for this camera ! Very Happy

Ludoo, it's a 1/1.7" Type CCD, so not the smallest size. That's why I chose it too because I wanted to keep some bokeh abilities, even if it's not comparable to FF reflex.
I bought it also for its lens which is an equivalent of a 24-72mm f:1.8-2.4.
It has very good "macro" abilities.
Its tilting screen is also very useful and a pleasure to use (amoled).
Video is not HD.
Definitely a very good cam and its price lowerd a lot.

Yes, it's the best RAW compact shooter on the market, if you are not interested in video.

Price has risen lately, a couple of months ago it was 265€ new on amazon it or de, now it's 310€. It's strange that Samsung has not announced an updated version, they have a jewel in their hands but as usual they are doing nothing to improve on it, or keep their customers happy.

I got one too at last, second hand from ebay UK, but still pretty expensive. Prices for this camera won't go down, it costs more than an E-P1 with kit lens. :O

So far I'm loving it, very easy to shoot at low shutter speeds, great IQ at 80 ISO, useable images at 800 ISO. I also found out an old battered Leica II leather case is about the right size for it. Smile

Congrats Ludoo. Some samples, please ! Very Happy


I like its rotating screen. It's so easy to shoot in special angles with it.

Impressive results from a compact.

A couple of quick shots from my recently acquired EX-1, the first one outside my parent's house on the Lake Maggiore, the others in the village while waiting for my gf to buy groceries. All in-camera jpg wide open @80 ISO, neutral setting, with slight contrast/color/sharpness adjustments in Samsung RAW converter, which works on jpg too.

Bokeh test at 80mm equivalent fl


35mm equivalent fl


24mm equivalent fl

Three more images, all at ISO 80 24mm fl, with a polarizer, straight out of camera jpeg with sharpening only. I'm using the default picture style with in-camera RGB correction of -1 green, which compensates for the slight green cast typical of Samsung WB (I had the same cast on the NX10).

I never thought it possible, but I am really liking having a 24mm equivalent lens. I almost never use the zoom on the ex-1.

Ludoo, impressive results.

Thank you for the -1RGB tip. Very Happy
