The downside are some pretty sharp edges, especially at the bottom front, which can become a little uncomfortable when holding the camera for extended periods of time. The body sports a quite attractive minimalist design with clean-cut lines. This is especially true when the camera is used one-handed.
It balances well with the standard zoom kit-lens and pancake options, but it can feel a little unbalanced with more bulky lenses such as the 60mm Macro or the 50-200 tele lens. The metal-bodied NX200 is not particularly lightweight (although it is slightly lighter than its nearest competitor the Sony NEX-5N) and leaves a solid impression in your hands. Overall though the NX200's button and dial-driven control layout is intuitive and gives you quick and easy access to all major functions. This 'issue' is common to several mirrorless cameras and if you have large hands or are used to the larger buttons of an SLR we'd recommend you play with an NX200 before you commit to a purchase and make sure its ergonomics are right for you. The buttons have a nice travel and don't feel too 'clicky' but they are very small. Combined with the contour of the grip, the rubberized coating gives a nice firm hold and the grip is just the right size to hook your fingers around and let your thumb rest on the dedicated texturized area on the back.ĭespite the comfortable grip though the NX200's is fairly compact, and if you have large hands you might find the button and control layout a little cramped.
At first the metal edges can appear a little sharp and unwelcoming, but the entire grip area and large parts of the camera back have been covered in a rubber material that has a pleasant feel to it. The Samsung NX200 is a comparatively small camera in the mirrorless system camera market segment but nevertheless handles remarkably well.
