Samsung announced its NX3000 today, the latest edition to the NX series of compact system cameras. Housed in a retro design, the NX3000 targets photography enthusiasts who want a stylish device that delivers crisp, high-quality images. The NX3000 boasts a 20.3MP APS-C CMOS Sensor, fast 1/4000 shutter speed and 5fps continuous shooting. A kit that includes the NX3000, 15-60mm lens, and flash is expected to retail for $529. A second kit option that features a 20-50mm lens and flash is expected to retail for $479.
With a focus on selfies, the Samsung NX3000 features a 3.0-inch Flip-up Display with Wink Shot. By simply opening the screen, framing a face in the display and winking, users can turn on the device and capture the perfect selfie in one hassle-free motion.
As with all of Samsung’s 2014 SMART cameras, the NX3000 features advanced Wi-Fi and NFC integration that makes it easy to share images. Exclusive to Samsung, Tag & Go connectivity allows the NX3000 to pair with NFC-enabled devices, such as smartphones or tablets, simply by touching the two together. Once paired, users can:
- Select and transfer multiple images to the paired mobile devices through Mobile Link;
- Send images to up to four devices with Group Share, eliminating the time-consuming and repetitive process of sending pictures to multiple friends;
- Control the NX3000 via a smartphone with Remote View Finder Pro;
Availability
The NX3000 will be available in black, white or brown and will include Samsung’s new compact 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 Power Zoom ED OIS Lens. Additionally, with the 16-50mm Power Zoom lens, users can control the camera’s zoom function on their mobile device via Remote Viewfinder Pro, allowing for even more creativity.
