Having been reading up on most cameras since the release of the Nikon D90 on dpreview.com I finally thought the NX10/NX11 was my perfect camera. And having it for a week now I'm pretty pleased with it.
I've been following all the Nikon models D90 / D3000 / D3100 and the Canon Rebel line as well as all the Micro Four-Thirds cameras and the Sony NEX-3/5. I've read reviews and comments and looked at all the sample images.
I've considered the availability (and reviews) of lenses, weight/size of camera, image quality and video.
The NEX-5, Olympus PL2, Nikon D3100 and the Samsung NX10/NX11/NX100 were all on my short list. I finally settled on the NX10.
The NX10 :
The Pros:
Great image quality, although not quite the ISO range as some other cameras.
Very good built-in flash
Small and light with a solid construction
Very easy user-interface
large sensor size (APS-C , better than all Micro Four-Thirds)
The Cons:
Video is not 1024p (only 720p)
Very few lenses still (the ones that they do have are great though, and more are coming)
Incorrect Assumptions: (about the NX10)
It DOES support an optional external GPS
It DOES support the iFunction lenses (after a firmware upgrade).
Based on the fact that I could really not see the difference between the NX10 and NX11 and the low cost of the NX10 at the moment, I decided to buy an NX10. So far both I and another person (with a Nikon D90) took photos of the same event and had opportunity to compare... and I am pleased to say my photos were a lot better looking (with no post-processing done to either).
I love the Samsung Pancake 20mm lens (with iFunction) and is a good addition to the standard (non-iFunction) IOS lens that this shipped with.

I purchased this camera a couole weeks ago along with a 50-200MM zoom.
The camera feels great ( i have large hands), is easy to use, and the menu system works well.
Pictures in automatic (smart) mode are sharp, although in lower light conditions it will tend to lower the shutter speed before increasing iso.
Be sure to update the latest firmware available from samsung website.
Some settings in menu are only available for particular shooting conditions, for example if you want to put it in raw mode, then be sure to set the dial to Apature first. In a way this makes sense because raw is only available when not using the smart mode, such as apature priority, but it can be an intial stumbling block when first setting the camera up - once you understand this premise then the rest is very smooth sailing.
I have not tried video yet, however from what i have read, like many cameras with video built in, the quality is excelent when camera movement is not needed, but falls apart for action shots in the artifacts introduced. Also there is no external microphone jack so sound quality will be sub-par. If video is important, then the panasonic G series would be a better choice, but better yet would be a dedicated video camera.
The senseor is 50% large in size than the panasonic g-series with 20% additional pixels. What that means is that there is 30% more area of the on each pixel for bringing in light, and thus more headroom for improvement. I am sure over the months Samsung will tweak their alogrithms to take better advantage of this.
On time is excelent, as well as processing time; of course raw is going to take a bit longer.
Be sure to get yourself a good quality card for the camera.
I can carry the camera with the 18 -55 kit lens and the 50-200 zoom (300mm film equivilant) in a zeikos bag with only a 9 inch main compartment -that is the reason for getting a camera like this. It is not a studio replacement, but not intendended to be - for everything else it is fun and far better than a point and shoot if you know how to use it.

I did a wide range of test shots recently and was quite impressed, though I found the sensor to be quite noisy. For this reason, I see no advantage over the emerging Micro four-thirds format, which I can see having greater staying power than this camera with its mostly proprietary lenses. The included lens in this kit, however, is quite versatile.
The real problem is if you want to rely on this camera for video as well. In ideal conditions, the video looks quite good. Taking advantage of the large sensor and selection of lenses should put you ahead of most consumer grade camcorders. There are very few controls, though. There are also audio sync problems and file clipping issues that are not addressed in the firmware update at this time. This has been a deal-breaker for me as I wanted to eliminate the camcorder. Were it not for this, I'd rate it 4 stars and would've kept the camera.
