Image quality and resolution

As part of our image quality testing for the Samsung NX300, we've shot our resolution chart.

If you view our crops of the resolution chart's central section at 100% (or Actual Pixels) you will see that, for example, at ISO 100 the Samsung NX300 is capable of resolving up to around 20 (line widths per picture height x100) in its highest quality JPEG files. These images are taken with the 18-55mm kit lens mounted on the camera.

For a full explanation of what our resolution charts mean, and how to read them, check out our full explanation of our camera testing resolution charts.

Examining images of the chart taken at each sensitivity setting reveals the following resolution scores in line widths per picture height x100:
