whole screen. The screen itself is a large 3in AMOLED model, instead of the regular LCD screen found on most cameras. The advantages of AMOLED is a
faster refresh rate and great contrast that provides a clear and bright display. Even when shooting in bright sunlight we had no problems, but if you prefer a more traditional way of framing up, there is a viewfinder. Without a reflex mirror, which allows a through-the-lens (or TTL) view, the viewfinder has to be the electronic EVF variety. This has the advantage of providing 100% frame coverage, but only offers a VGA (640x480 pixel) resolution, which doesn’t resolve an image as sharply as an optical variant, and if you’re used to the latter then the EVF will take a bit of getting used to.

photo styles in its Picture Wizard menu, where you can apply effects such as vivid or classic black & white, and you can select a picture style pre-capture and have the effect previewed on screen. In image playback mode, hit the Fn button and you can also apply effects post-capture, but not only that, you can adjust many other settings, including the resolution of the shot. The NX10 features a built-in
pop-up flash and there are two accessory flashguns available which attach via the hotshoe. There are also three lenses so far – a 55-200mm f/4-5.6 OIS zoom (£150) and a 30mm f/2 pancake lens (£200) alongside the standard 18-55mm f/4-5.6 OIS kit lens. This lens range will provide adequate coverage for most users, although if you’re after a

PERFORMANCE & HANDLING
If you’re familiar with D-SLRs you’ll feel right at home with the NX10, as there are plenty of body- mounted buttons for changing your shooting options. This includes a 4-way D-pad for quick access to things like metering mode and ISO, and the centre button lets you change the size and position of your autofocus target. The majority of other settings are available in the Function menu, which is intuitive to navigate, and on those occasions where you want to delve into the main menu it’s clear, concise and uses a stylish grey,
