Galaxy NX camera official, mirrorless body and interchangeable lenses
We’re live in London with Samsung at their Premiere 2013 event where the previously rumored and leaked Galaxy NX camera has become official. The NX is a big step up from the first Galaxy Camera in the sense that it’s no longer a mere point-and-shoot. We’re looking at a professional-level mirrorless camera, with interchangeable lenses.
Spec wise we’re looking at a 20.3MP APS-C sensor, full 1080p video recording and a 4.8-inch HD LCD on the rear. Inside, there’s a 1.6GHz quad-core processor powering Android 4.2.2 with the latest version of TouchWiz overlayed, along with a discrete Image Signal Processor (ISP). In terms of software there is a full cropping of manual controls and modes (such as aperture priority, shutter speed priority, full manual) along with 30 automatic “smart” modes that will auto-select scenes for you when you need a quick shot. The NX will be compatible with all of Samsung’s existing line of lenses — over 30 in total — including a new fisheye lens. Samsung is also talking up the fact that the NX comes with LTE on-board, offering loads of sharing options when paired with a full build of Android.
The Galaxy NX is a world away from the original Galaxy Camera, and we’ll be going hands-on with it very soon. For more from the Samsung Premiere 2013 event be sure to head on over to our liveblog for full up to the minute coverage.
