Samsung Electronics America Inc., a market leader and
award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, announced the
pricing and U.S. retail availability of three SMART compact system
cameras (CSC) with built-in Wi-Fi – the eye catching NX1000, the
versatile NX210 and the top-of-the-line NX20. With SMART features,
the NX1000, NX210 and NX20 can connect to wireless networks without
any additional cards or devices, making it seamless to share and
store photos directly from the camera.
All three new Samsung NX cameras offer exceptional image quality
and are designed for users with different photographic skill
levels. With a premium metallic finish, the NX20 and NX210 compact
system cameras are available now from authorized Samsung retailers
for manufactured suggested retail prices (MSRP) of $1,099.99 and
$899.99, respectively. The sleek and compact NX1000 will be
available in June in white, black and pink at an MSRP of
$699.99.
“With the expansion of the NX family, Samsung reinforces its
commitment to connected creativity. Photography, at its core, is as
much about sharing a special moment, as it is about capturing a
stunning image and the new NX Series delivers both without
compromise,” said Reid Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Digital
Imaging, Samsung Electronics America. “Whether for professionals
emailing photos on assignment, or a family sharing a truly unique
memory, there is an NX Series camera ready to deliver.”
Channeling Samsung’s premium NX image quality, the NX1000, NX210
and NX20 cameras all feature a stunning design and a
professional-grade 20.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. Ensuring the
cameras benefit from Samsung’s ecosystem of imaging products, they
are also compatible with Samsung’s unique i-Function 2.0 system.
This innovative system enables users to control camera settings
using the lens only, without having to take focus off the subject.
New i-Function features include a digital crop and zoom, which
allows users to focus on the most important parts of an image and
crop away distracting background elements, plus the ability to add
custom functions.
Shoot SMART with Samsung NXCoupled with the latest SMART
features, the integration of Wi-Fi in the new NX models enables
users to instantly upload images and video to social networking
sites like Facebook, Picasa, Photobucket and YouTube, to the cloud
with Microsoft® Sky Drive®, or even email them directly from the
camera at the touch of a button.
Further extending the benefits of Samsung’s SMART features, the
NX20, NX210 and NX1000 are compatible with Samsung’s Remote
Viewfinder app, which when loaded from Google Play (formerly the
Android Marketplace) onto a supported GALAXY smartphone or tablet,
allows users to control settings and even take the picture from up
to 30 feet away. With Samsung’s MobileLink app, users can easily
transfer and display images on Samsung smartphones, tablets, or
Smart TVs – turning a variety of popular devices into instant photo
frames.
In addition, AllShare and the TV Link application let the new NX
models connect directly to a DLNA-compatible TV to show off those
amazing images on the big screen, while PC Backup can store photos
on a PC without fumbling with cables.
All-new, Extremely Approachable: The NX1000As an
introduction to CSC photography, the NX1000 combines the imaging
power of a professional camera with the portability of a
point-and-shoot camera. The NX1000 boasts an eye-catching design
and compact form-factor suitable for a small bag and a night out on
the town. Bundled with an all-purpose 20-50mm lens and external
flash, the NX1000 offers shutterbugs a versatile system that can
help improve their photography skills, while also capturing
high-quality images.
The Samsung NX1000 features a large, bright 3.0-inch LCD screen
for composing images and 1080p HD video, and technologies like
Smart Auto 2.0 take the guess work out of photo-taking. A dedicated
Smart Link Hot Key on the top of the camera makes sharing photos
via Wi-Fi as easy as pressing a button for instant sharing.
Versatile and Powerful: The NX210Championing the
successes of its predecessor, the NX200, Samsung’s NX210 camera
incorporates a brilliant, 3.0-inch AMOLED screen for viewing and
composing in any light – indoors or out, as well as an all-metal
premium-quality body for added durability.
The new NX210 also boasts high speed capture with a 1/8000
shutter and continuous shooting capabilities up to 8 frames per
second, ensuring no moment is missed. With features like Smart
Panel, the NX210 brings versatility to the forefront and empowers
users to push their photographic limits.
Pro-grade Performance: The NX20Sporting a form factor
similar to a DSLR camera, yet much more compact, the Samsung NX20
is a compelling photo companion for enthusiasts and
professional-level photographers looking for portability. At a
fraction of the size and weight of DSLR cameras, the NX20 offers
comfortable ergonomics and a convenient 3.0-inch swivel Super
AMOLED screen for composing in a variety of conditions and at any
angle. Additionally, the NX20 incorporates an SVGA Electronic
Viewfinder (EVF) for framing and composing images. The EVF also
includes a proximity sensor to detect when a user is away from the
viewing area and shuts the screen off to conserve battery life.
Fitting for more advanced users, the NX20 touts a
lightning-quick shutter speed, allowing users to capture images at
up to 1/8000 of a second. Continuous shooting also adds to the
camera’s photo prowess, as the NX20 can shoot up to 8 frames per
second. Lastly, an electronic level feature helps compose images
and allows users to perfectly center and adjust a tripod-mounted or
handheld shot.
Creative Control at Your FingertipsCreating artistic
expressions with photography is now available for all users with
minimal effort. Samsung’s Smart Auto setting analyzes, identifies
and automatically selects the most appropriate of its scene modes
to provide users with optimal results. From a brilliant fireworks
display to a dimly-lit party environment, scene detection
technology identifies the shooting conditions and automatically
adjusts the settings to help achieve standout images. For users
seeking more control, the Smart Panel allows them to explore their
own photographic skills with Full Manual Control settings for
aperture, shutter speed, flash intensity and more.
All three NX models feature Samsung’s ten exclusive Smart
Filters and a new Selective Color function, which allows users to
isolate a single color in an image for a dramatic effect.
Additionally, the NX20, NX210 and NX1000 make it simple to capture
an entire scene with the innovative Panorama and 3D Panorama
features creating immersive shots of landscapes and scenery.
