The NX1000 employs the same 20 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor as both the NX210 and the range-topping NX20, which is around 1.5x physically larger than the Micro Four Thirds system and promises to rival the image quality of the majority of DSLRs, whilst still maintaining a small camera body that is very similar to the likes of the comparable Sony NEX, Olympus PEN and Panasonic G-series. Otherwise you'd be hard-pushed to tell the two apart. The NX1000 also has an angular and hard-edged design, with the main external differences coming in the rounder and less pronounced shape of a revised handgrip, a plastic rather than metal body, and an LCD screen rather than the NX210's AMOLED screen.

The new NX1000 is very similar to its bigger brother, the NX210, so a lot of the comments that we made about that camera in our review apply equally to the entry-level NX1000. The Samsung NX1000 is available in black, pink or white and costs £599 / $699 in a kit with the 20-50mm II lens. The NX1000 also has a special i-Scene lens priority mode, which allows users to select the scene modes, six different Smart Filters and the intelli-Zoom function. The i-Function button on compatible lenses allows users to control the NX1000 by scrolling through manual settings (shutter speed, aperture, EV, WB, and ISO) and using the focus ring to change the parameters for each setting.

The plastic-bodied NX1000 features a 20.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, high speed capture and fast auto focusing, ISO range of 100-12,800, 1080p HD movie recording, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, 3-inch LCD screen, 8fps continuous shooting, Sweep Panoramas and Samsung's unique i-Function lens. The Samsung NX1000 is a new entry-level mirrorless compact system camera.
