With the recent release of the Samsung NX10, we take a look to see how it compares with two other mirror-less interchangeable cameras - the Panasonic GF1 and the Olympus E-PL1. Kai gets set the task to give a video tour of Hong Kong to test the autofocus, image stabilisation and AUTO capabilities of each camera.

This commercial was shot entirely by Olympus PEN cameras. Many of today's consumers want a camera with the professional still image quality of a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) and high-definition (HD) video in a compact body that's as easy to use as a point-and-shoot. Thanks in part to an image sensor found in Olympus DSLRs that is approximately eight times larger than those in standard point-and-shoot cameras, the PEN delivers all this and more. Add the flexibility of high-quality interchangeable lenses, the convenience of a built-in pop-up flash, in-camera creative features and technology designed to produce outstanding images effortlessly, and the PEN is the total consumer-friendly, multimedia package. The PEN is a camera designed for those who want to step up to better images, and Olympus is committed to giving consumers the amazing technology to capture things they never thought possible.
