The Samsung NX100 has an attractive, comfortable design and comes in brown or black; white will be available overseas. Like Canon's S90/95, Samsung incorporates a novel lens design, which allows you to adjust settings like ISO sensitivity and white balance via a ring on the lens.

I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.
