Samsung NX mirrorless with innovative i-Function lenses, orphaned APS-C system at essentially zero cost.
The Samsung NX100 is a compact mirrorless camera from 2010 with a 14.6-megapixel APS-C sensor in the Samsung NX mount system. The NX100 used a unique i-Function lens system that allowed lens-ring control of camera settings — an innovative interface concept ahead of its time.
The APS-C sensor provides good image quality in a compact mirrorless body, and the i-Function lenses enable intuitive control of ISO, white balance, and exposure compensation by pressing a button and rotating the lens ring. The 3-inch AMOLED display provides vivid viewing.
Build quality is compact Samsung consumer electronics with quality AMOLED display technology. The NX system offered a growing range of lenses before Samsung exited the camera market in 2015, leaving the NX mount orphaned.
The Samsung NX100 has minimal value on the used market due to Samsung's exit from cameras. The orphaned NX mount limits lens availability, though the camera provides functional APS-C quality at essentially zero cost for those with existing NX lenses.
