Our Verdict
Built like a miniature DSLR, the Samsung NX11 compact system camera (CSC) feels and handles like a ‘proper’ camera, and as such it will appeal to enthusiast photographers and those not quite ready to make the jump from a compact to a DSLR.
The image quality is good, with the camera capable of resolving a lot of detail, although when shooting JPEG files the noise reduction can be a little strong as the sensitivity settings increase.
However, the camera really is just the NX10 with a couple of tweaks. I really like the NX11, for the same reasons I like the NX10, but it isn’t a significant upgrade and competition in the CSC market is really hotting up.
In reality, the NX11 is just an upgrade to integrate the i-Function and slightly improved AF. As such, NX10 users have no reason to upgrade. However, if you don’t already have a compact system camera, then the NX11 is a great choice. The outgoing NX10 can now be bought body-only for as little as £200, so those looking for a good CSC might want to snap up the NX10 rather than pay slightly more for the few new features of the NX11.
