We've just published the third installment of our Samsung NX30 Shooter's Report. Our reviewer, John Shafer has spent over a month getting to know the Samsung NX30, and while it has a few quirks, overall John's walked away with a positive take on Samsung's latest flagship mirrorless camera

In his own words: "I took nearly 3500 pictures with it, and I pushed it hard -- probably harder than most people ever will. It's a solid all-purpose enthusiast camera with great features, a travel-friendly body, and for the most part, the performance is great. Overall, I was very pleased with what I was able to do with it. I shot high-speed action, landscapes, food porn, people photos, low light photos, and video; and the NX30 handled most everything very well."
