Samsung has been working on its NX camera series for years now, with the latest one announced just last month with its NX300 SMART Camera. It once again is expanding its NX family today as Samsung is announcing its NX2000 today.
The NX2000 features a 20.3MP APS-C CMOS Sensor that allows for images taken even in low-light conditions to pop with color and is capable of delivering continuous high-quality images due to its new DRIMe IV engine as it works to reduce noise, improve the overall speed of the camera and help enable superior color reproduction. The NX2000 can take 8fps fast continuous shots and its shutter speed is at an impressively fast 1/4000th of a second.

WiFi in a camera. No matter the practicality or the cost of adding wireless functionality, it’s become a must for high-end point-and-shoots, and if they don’t pack it now, they soon will. But access hasn’t become as prolific as protocol prophets once preached — we’re at the mercy of pay gates, passwords and bandwidth limitations, even today. Our smartphones, on the other hand, are always connected. There’s no need to fuss with hexadecimals or other cryptic keys — assuming we haven’t crossed an international border, getting online is as convenient as taking a breath. As the world’s most prolific smartphone maker, Samsung is very much invested in cellular. Sure, there were gasps from the crowd at last week’s Unpacked, but built-in 4G makes perfect sense, and while WiFi and a Micro SIM may make the Galaxy Camera an instant winner, it’s Android that completes the package, as the glue that cements this latest category’s promise. Samsung may be the pioneer, but should other manufacturers be scrambling to shift roadmaps, ready to embrace this new digital direction? Tap past the break for our take.

Fan concept of an advanced Android camera
The world of compact cameras has changed rapidly in the past few years, and this change is due to the rise of smartphones, and more precisely, due the high quality of smartphones internal cameras. Sales of compact cameras has declined and manufacturers can barely keep their revenues afloat, if at all.
A possible way out: raise the bar and provide an added-value that only a bigger form factor can: bigger sensors, bigger lenses. However, smartphones and wireless broadband have changed user behavior forever: the main incentive for taking photos has shifted from “memory preservation” to “social sharing”, and users demand a way to share their photos with as little friction as possible.
To address these challenges, camera manufacturers have tried building their own software stack, and it is fair to say that it hasn’t worked. It’s too much work, too complex, and it’s likely that Android will emerge -again- as being the solution of choice. (more…)
