The Samsung's NX200 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens (Black) from Samsung is a more compact, more affordable alternative to a DSLR camera that employs a mirror. Along with the sleek, slim design of the NX200, you get the creative opportunities that interchangeable lenses afford, plus mega-fine-detailed imagery: With a large (23.5 x 15.7mm), high-resolution APS-C image sensor, the NX200 captures photos at a vast 20.3 Megapixels.This model comes with a versatile 18-55mm zoom lens and a flash that attaches to the camera's hot shoe. The lens features Samsung's i-Function technology, which puts a button on the lens that unlocks the manual adjustment of several settings. Choose among shutter speed, aperture, exposure value, white balance and ISO and then turn the ring on the lens to adjust your selected parameter.The slim-bodied NX200 camera has a mount that accepts any of Samsung's NX-Mount lenses, a growing family that already offers a wide range of choices. The NX200's video system is much-improved over that of its predecessor - the camera is capable of recording full HD 1920 x 1080 video at 30p. Set at 1280 x 720 resolution, the NX200 can even capture true slow-motion video.

I purchased this camera as a "carry anywhere" tool and have found that it fits very nicely into that category. It is incredibly light weight with the kit lens (would recommend the 30mm f/2 pancake for a second lens). While not "pocketable" with the kit zoom, it it pocketable with the pancakes. 

One of my favorite features of this camera is the ability to adapt my Nikon and Canon FD lenses to use in manual mode. It completely opens the camera up to macro and portrait photography without an additional lens purchase expense.

The user interface in incredibly well thought out. Compare it (better "contrast" it) to the awful Sony NEX interface. This NX200 interface makes the camera a real pleasure to use.

Since I've owned the camera (mid-November 2011), Samsung has come out with two firmware updates. They are easy to install and improve functionality of the camera. Additionally, the RAW files are now recognized by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) software and are easily converted to space saving .dng files (the NX200 RAW files are huge).

All in all, this is a very enjoyable camera to own and use.
