My first impressions of my NX200

[Tartness909411]

Well I took out my NX200 for the first time today and paired it with my 18-55mm to see how it performed. It was a very bright and sunny day, so bright that my first problem was not being able to see the screen most of the time, so I was guessing my compositions most of the time. Another problem that quickly reared it's head was the Samsung mode dial fault, the same that I had with my NX30. In A mode, the rear screen was jumping to all different modes but when i switched to P mode and back to A then quickly press OK, it seemed to work. I had set the camera for RAW+jpeg and set the output to Classic B/W but even that failed during the glitches, as some of my jpegs came out in colour. I processed mostly the B/W jpegs and only a few RAW because the jpegs were very good. I think in bright sunlight, I will have to use my NX10 because it has an EVF but I am not giving up on the NX200, I will pair it with my 16mm f2.4 or my 30mm f2 when it arrives and see how it goes. It's a lovely build and has some great features and is so small and compact, so I will persevere with it Well I took out my NX200 for the first time today and paired it with my 18-55mm to see how it performed.
