Hi, bought this and love it other than it’s wireless upload capability with MACs is just not good & with iphone. Do you know if I could put a wireless memory card in this camera instead?!

This camera does not work as documented. I’ve tried two different cameras of the same model, and they both have the same issues. The only way to shoot in continuous mode (8fps or 3fps) is in manual focus. The auto focus is very slow, and waits to shoot until the lens is brought out of focus and then refocuses, even with the AF assist turned off. Also, the ability to connect to social sites does not work at all. I can send photos through the email application, but cannot connect to Facebook, Picasa, or YouTube. And while it is supposed to be able to connect to photobucket, I do not have an account there, so I did not try that. However, I would expect that this would not work either, since none of the other ones work. I have contacted Samsung regarding these issues, and they tell me the issue has been escalated, but even after returning the camera and getting a new one (and waiting for several weeks) I still have not received a call from the about the issues with this camera. I’m returning it, and getting a different camera. It should work as documented.

I’m thinking “Stephen” has no clue how to properly operate this camera and hasn’t taken the time to read the owner’s manual.

The camera definitely works as it should; continuous shooting mode functions with autofocus, not just manual, and the wireless mode will upload to all social networks.  You have to be on WIFI, stephen, it will not work with 3G or 4G.

It works as advertised and takes great photos!!

John, I have a lot of experience with many different cameras. I appreciate that you are trying to be helpful, however I did read the manual, and spoke with Samsung technical support on multiple occasions. They walked through everything with me, and still the camera did not work. It could very well be that I recieved a bad camera, but I went through two of them. My major complaint is that Samsung technical support escalated the issue, but never (and still as of now) has not returned my call to tell me what is going on. I have since moved on. I returned the cameras and bought something else.

Great little camera which I found very handy this past weekend at Motorcycling racing and its burst modes were perfect for capturing fast moving action with a great choice of 10, 15 or 30 fps and still maintaining good resoloution at the default 5 mp setting. I also tried both the 3fps and 8 fps at full resoloution of 20 mp. Amazing performance for such a tiny camera and I had the camera set at ISO 640 and 1000 as the afternoon worn on due to overcast conditions. Very little grain in any of the shots. I find the pics at standard default settings a little soft and lacking in punch, but i normally use my cameras in PASM settings and I adjusted the camera via the Picture Wizard to get sharper and more vivid pics. I upped the sharpness by 2 and color by 3 leaving contrast alone. That gave me the look i liked and still quite true to life. just a bit punchier than Smart mode for my taste anyways. I also tweaked the exposure compensation setting by one third of a stop as i find the camera overexposes just a little in bright conditions, even using the Smart Range setting. thats another great feature, the Smart range feature that nicely holds onto bright highlights with very little downside. You do have to use a minimum of ISO 200 though, though this is no drawback. This is a fantastic little camera along with its predecessor the NX100 which i also own. The buffer on that camera and its burst options and frame rates are much lower on that model but its still a terrific camera. I used the NX1000 at the motorcycle races with the 50-200 zoom and thats a great lens.

Great little camera with super burst rates and lots of options though I did find the camera did need a little tweaking to get the results I wanted. I normally use cameras in PASM modes so I went into the Picture Wizard and upped the sharpness by 2 and color by 2, as I found the standard settings a bit flat. I also adjusted the exposure compensation down by one third of a stop, as I found the camera had a slight tendancy towards overexposure. The `Smart range` option is great and really does help control any highlights, though limits ISO to a minimum of 200. No big deal though, as the camera produces grain free pics up to 1000 in my use of it.  I used it at Motorcycling races last weekend and got a lot of keepers using the 3 second 10fps setting to great advantage in continous focus mode. You still get a decent 5 MP pic even at those high rates. terrific !!! You also have the option of 20 MP pics at 8FPS for 11 shots or even much more at 3 FPS. Highly recommend this camera which is now a companion to my NX100 along with a 50-200 zoom, 20mm and 16mm pancakes, as well as the sharp 18-55 and 20-50 zooms. Could not be happier.

Hi Folks,

I will start out saying I’m not a pro in terms of camera manual settings. I bought the NX1000 and I should say during the day time its a great device to capture wonderful high res images. I used all the different settings on the camera and found it great. The only issue I have is with the night scene mode. In this mode I noticed that with the assist lamp ON, it still is not able to autofocus on subjects like my canon camera does. Since its not able to focus it doesn’t click thru. I have to either move very close to the subj or light up a lill on the sub so that it can focus on. To manual focus on the subj, I can’t at all since I can’t see anything thru the LCD. Same distance, same conditions my Canon works great, this one doesn’t focus or click. When I switch this to MF then it does click thru, then again I have to trial & error manual focus the subj to clarity..

Once again I’m not a pro at these settings. So any help is greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure I can take good pics during low light / night conditions with almost no light conditions.

Regards - AJ

anyone have a problem with it saying processing on the screen and nothing but taking out the battery will stop it.

7:25 pm - Friday, November 23, 2012

#13 James Marshall

Message to david. Yes, I have had this happen to me a few times where i could only get the camera to stop ``processing`` by removing the battery !!!  How weird is that. I believe its caused by switching the camera off before it has processed an image you have just taken, and this may take quite a while if you have just shot RAW or done a burst sequence.

Hi !
  Not had the camera long, and am a decided amateur in terms of camera’s and settings ... however, what I’m finding with most of my pics (generally in Smart mode) I’m having to ‘auto’ brighten them, even when I have used a flash. I’ve read the manual several times ... but can I only alter settings in PASM mode .. or can I up film speed in Smart / scene mode ...
  I need an idiots guide ... or a guide for this idiot !! Any help would really be appreciated !

    Thank you

The EVF does NOT work with the NX1000, its for the NX100 and the NX100 only, the NX1000 lacks the extra connector mounted horizontally behind the hot shoe.

Hey Guys, please remember that your entry can take from 2 minutes to 2 hours to appear, if it doesn’t show by then, it’s not going to. My own suggestion, keep your posts short. There’s nothing like typing and checking 3 paragraphs, just to find it can’t pass through the Spam filter or the Moderator. Maybe two smaller posts will save you some of the trouble.

It seems like this camera is the shape of things to come. I find them awkward, myself. And the Optical Viewfinder is a must in my book. Holding the LCD at arms length just doesn’t seem right to me. It reminds me of the “Point and Shoot” group.

But on a happier note, from the photographyblog.com Writers and Staff, I’m here to wish you all a Very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Please remember to drive safely (to and from). We hope that 2013 will be a better year, for you and your families.
Good Luck Everyone,

To Gavin,
Regarding the camera, do you know that it comes with a “Kit” Lens and many situations require different focal lengths, and of course that means spending more money. You may want to look into what you will need and how much it will cost you. “Kit” Lenses are usually the lowest cost lens of those available.

As for the other part of your comment, You should know that before Digital cameras were available, Photography was one of the most competitive and difficult trades to get into, and most started after going to school for it, then working as an apprentice for a few years before getting an actual salary. Finding that start as an apprentice was not easy. (Note:That was Before Digital)

Now that there are so many different cameras on the market and there is rarely any actual processing of film, people can do it at home, printing their own pictures, even if Photoshop is used, which requires a learning period too. However, Photography has become near impossible to break in to. Keep this in mind, as a rule of thumb, 20% of the people, earn 80% of the money.

Now I’m not saying that it’s impossible, just extremely difficult to say the least. I was processing and printing Black & White and Printing color Photographs before I was a teenager. Slide film and color negatives needed to be done in a lab, C41 was very hard to do on my own. It had to be accurate to within one half a degree. I had to work to afford it. It took several years just to get it to pay for itself. So many nights standing behind the enlarger. 
 
Now, with Digital cameras and computer programs, people still start at that early age, but they are light years ahead right from the start. Also, there are 10X the amount of people going for the same positions. They still go to school for it, and work as an apprentice so you should consider that things are much more competitive now. I’ve heard this one often “Photography is a great hobby, but I should have kept it as a hobby, and not tried to make it a profession. ” Look before you leap okay!!!

To Jordan,
Recently Samsung released a firmware update, Version 1.12 but on January 10th they rescinded the update without explanation. It was for Wifi connectivity and for certain lens functions.

There was a firmware update released on october 24th 2012. I don’t know if that is the one they rescinded. If you registered the camera you would have been notified by email. The September 18th update seems to be for the owners manual. 

Before you do anything else, remove the battery from the camera
I received this comment too late in the day to contact anyone but only you, as the owner would know the sequence of events. Call the tech support line ASAP for further information.
Good Luck,

Hello guys,
I got this little sweet thing with big sensor for low light photography in a small body.
I m quite happy with it, only problem is the autofocus in dark places doesn’t work or I m such a newbie that i can’t find the way to make it work.

If someone can point a finger on how to make the focus work fast (even manually) i d be grateful!

12:44 pm - Wednesday, January 16, 2013

#24 JOE PRETE

Socrates,
I don’t own the camera but, that does look like an Auto Focus assist lamp near the top, inner side of the hand grip. It also has a “night” mode, so there must be some provision for taking night pictures.

I also think that you should ALWAYS read the FULL VERSION of the owners manual.

If you don’t find the answer, I’m pretty sure that they gave you a toll free Tech Support Number for those that own the product to call when they have questions.

“The only way i get remote viewfinder to work is by launching remote view on the camera,
connecting to its wifi ssid and the launching the app. works with GB, ICS and jelly bean”.

I am thinking about buying this camera or the NX300. I now see they have bought out the new NX2000 - same design as this with a large touch screen, dont know if they have sorted out peoples questions on here regarding the NX1000, only time will tell. Sony also do some excellent little CSC mirror-less cameras - worth having a look at….

Sara,there is NO zoom on this camera if you refer to   electronic zoom.There is only manual zoom on it and once you twist the ring on the lens i don’t see how it could “jump” back.I presume you are in manual mode and you are moving the focus ring,which indeed is digitally zooming so you can properly adjust the focus,and then it comes back to normal.But that’s not zoom in the right sense,it is only there to help you focus.
