The compact Camera that gives result like DSLR are rare in affordable price. Sony has done the same with NEX series. NX1000 uses NX mount for lens proprietary, that's why Samsung lens are used in this, but it may be that the third party lens mount adapter would be launched. Which provide the opportunity to use the lens of Canon and Nikon.
In this, the CMOS sensor of APS-C size like DSLR is equipped. In the package, an external flash and a lens of 20-50mm (non-image stabilization). It is very easy to use because the buttons and the controls are clearly laid out. The standard mode dial and D-pad are in-built while the zoom/manual focus are set on the ring lens barrel.
During the use of the camera while you would select a menu item then a pop up dialog box will appear, that will tell you what's this? This feature is known as the Help Guide that can be turned off from menu.
