That’s why Frederick and Doug were so surprised when the Samsung NX1 turned out to be one of the best APS-C cameras Doug has ever used. In terms of image quality, the NX1 even surpasses Doug’s pick for Camera of the Year, the Sony a6000.

Although it’s the size of a small DSLR, the mirrorless NX1 is packed with best of breed features from other great cameras: a great tilting touch LCD, 4k video and a whopping 15fps shutter with a 70-frame (RAW file) buffer.

But as much as Doug liked it, it’s still not perfect. Listen to hear why!
