is ex1 better for vlogging or the ex2f?

I bought this camera several years ago and NEVER used it. It was on sale so I just took it, but since I have a bunch of higher end cameras I never used it. Now that I am older and do not feel like carying a ton of DSLR's and lenses I tend to use my phone more for taking shots, but a my mobile phone just does not make me feel creative. I am going to start using this, just because I is more creative and easy to always have in my backpack. It really is not about megapixels. I think it is often just how a camera makes me feel that will determine how I will use it.

In 2015 I bought the Samsung NX 500 which is also a camera of high quality in the same class. It goes totally unnoticed. 28 megapixels APSC backlit sensor with killer image quality that rivals my Leica CL. This camera (20mm, f2.8 and 30mm f2.0 pancakes) will always stay with me until it dies. You are right, there are quite a few great cameras out there which don't get the credit they deserve.

The extra reach, style and lens character of the MX-1 make it hard to beat for me personally. Though this camera does look really nice and one I wasn’t familiar with, thanks James

Thanks for watching! :D

After watching this video last year, I went in search of one but found the ex2f instead. I love it! thank you

Excited! I just picked one up on a decent deal. This looks like a fun camera to pocket!

my first camera that I started shooting with was a little mirrorless samsung nx1000.(before people were really even using mirrorless cameras ) It was prob 2012 0r 13 but it was packed with features. you could change lenses, it had wifi, a close to apsc size sensor, and the colors and lenses were great. I hate that samsung's cameras never really caught on, bc theyre the ones making alot of these sensors anyway, and with the tech they have in the phone world, they had(have) the perfect opportunity to interweave physical and digital applications. they even had a few tries at an android powered camera. anyways, I could go on. lol. the nx series cameras are still worth taking a look at if you want something cheap to start with.

I have the EX1 and agree that it is an excellent camera. I also have the Samsung converter that increases wide angle coverage to 18mm equivalent. Personally I have no issues with the focusing on my EX1 other than the focus icon when set to single setting could be smaller. Samsung also sold a clip on viewfinder but fixed at 24mm view. Be aware th some aftermarket batteries are rated less capacity than the original Samsung brand. Finally the video recording is ok for what it is but not HD. Also forgot to say filters can be attached with the suitable adapter.

I bought one of these new and still have it. I used to take it to daytime events. There's a clarity to how the lens renders that I find similar to my zeiss lenses. And the ccd sensor gives beautiful skin tones. It would be nice to see this camera get some love.

Wow I came here for the camera review istead I got really impressed and inspired by your street photography 🎉 Regards from Sweden

One of my favorites, used it alot and still do.

Hi. I'm watching all your videos, I love that we agree on taking pictures with old digital cameras or one-shoot. it makes you a better photographer. And you are absolutely right using a camera that no one else is great, even when they see you taking pictures. I have a Sony FV like yours. One that drives people crazy when I take it out on the street is the Apple Quick take 100. But my favorite rare camera by far is the Lytro Illum, get one and you will go crazy with it. It's a camera that takes pictures with light fields, it's made me learn photography all over again. In my Vero I have pictures I took with it last Day of the Dead. You will like it.

i picked one ex2f up for my gf. only paid 75€ on ebay. very happy with the result. ofc its not the same as my x100v but as a starter a great cam, especially while out partying… gives a unique look. thank you for. your inspiration.

I have one of these tucked away. I really treasure it - of course, it doesn't compare in sharpness to modern cameras, but it feels like shooting an old Olympus half frame - similar results. It's solid and feels good to use. Yes - battery life - oh dear! I just think of it like film though - Like a half frame, you only get about 70 shots. So, be economical - take only what is necessary, and you'll love it.

I had one...best compact camera I ever owned. Built like a tank too.

I've bought a few like the LX3 etc. etc. from around that era and they are great knockabout cameras today for bright outdoor use. But try using them at a party or indoors/low light on the sly (basically when you don't want to be throwing a DSLR/flash around) and yeah they fall apart ISO/noise wise. There is a reason they have been left behind and forgotten.

Just picked one up with some JJC accessories (CPL, ND, remote), can't wait to try it out!

This could not come at a better time. I always carry with me my trusty Fujifilm X100S. I purchased the X100S new in 2014. I have carried that camera with me everywhere I went. Last year, I purchased a motorcycle and I have been touring Texas with it since. One month ago, I unfortunately damaged the display of the X100S. It rubbed on a charger that I was carrying in the tail bag of my bag. The Samsung seems to be perfect as the display can be stored unexposed. The only unknown is if my post processing software can process Samsung's raw format images. I always shoot raw and never use any of the camera brands software gimmicks.

I am surprised that you can still find the proprietary battery for this cam which is like 10 years old. I am even more surprised that the batteries still function after all these years.

やばい、デザインが自分好み。買って使ってみたい

Welp, there go the low used prices! Lol. Just kidding. Thanks for introducing this little guy to me.

Hi. i dont know about other peoples experiences... but i tend to not buy cameras with telescopic lenses because i noticed the repairmen dislike working on them (too much to break down?) also telescopic lenses tend to suck in dust maybe. can anyone share their thoughts on this?

I'm working on A bulk buy but the dude slacking. Btw it's Cruise-neck 😂

Since some weeks I posess the EX1. The EX2F is on the way. Which I should keep? Suggestions are welcome 👻👍🏻.

Hmm, well I have never tried the EX2F. You'll have to let me know how they compare for you.

How is the video quality? Is it good for recording videos for KZread?

The max resolution is 640x480 so I would say no. It's fun for some retro digital looking video with the filters, but otherwise not a good video camera.

@@snappiness Aww, shucks. That's a pity. Thank you for responding! ☺️

The images I will say are nothing short of amazing, its a wonder why Samsung isn't a major competitor anymore. I'd love to get something like this but I like hauling my DSLR cameras with me, I have a Canon SX430 IS that takes really nice pictures but if you look closer at the images are very noisy and has no depth when it comes to objects. Either way, it's for the love of photography that we enjoy using cameras like this.

Yep, that's right! And in the same way - I usually have one pocket camera with me everywhere I go just for the convenience, but otherwise love my big cameras too :)
