I can’t believe it, but it seems that the trend of introducing a “mini” version of an existing device has moved on from the world of smartphones over to the digital camera environment. This time around, it would be South Korean conglomerate Samsung that flies the flag, having introduced their latest ‘star’, which is the all new Samsung NX mini SMART camera, which somewhat brings back memories of the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini and its ilk. The Samsung NX mini is touted to be the world’s slimmest and lightest interchangeable-lens camera, where the body tips the scales at a mere 158 grams, with an extremely slim 22.5mm design.

Just what can shutterbugs expect from the Samsung NX mini? Well, for starters, it will come with a 75.2mm (3.0-inch) Flip up and Touch Display that can flip itself 180-degrees around, not to mention accompanied by a 20.5MP BSI CMOS Sensor, 6fps Continuous Shot, and 1/16000 sec Shutter Speed among others. Of course, what good is a camera’s body if it does not have the appropriate type of lens to go along with it? This is why Samsung has not forgotten about this extremely important aspect, which is they they will also introduce a trio of NX mini lens (NX-M) in the form of the NX-M 9mm F3.5 ED lens, NX-M 9-27mm F3.5-5.6 ED OIS lens, and NX-M 17mm F1.8 OIS lens.

Samsung intends to market the Samsung NX mini as a “go-to” device for great photography, letting users shoot special moments in stunning detail. Apart from that, it will also boast of NFC and Wi-Fi capabilities, so that users can capture impressive shots which can then be shared quickly and easily, allowing friends to enjoy it in real time. With a solid premium metal body alongside a luxurious leatherette finish, you can be sure that it does not look cheap – far from it. The fashionistas would also not mind carrying this around as it comes in five different colors (white, pink, mint green, brown and black) so that users are able to choose the color that best suits their style.

Panasonic has now announced that the GH4 camera body will sell for $1699.99(USD). In addition, there will be a professional audio/video interface accessory which provides 2 XLR audio inputs and a broadcast quality 3G-SDI video output terminal with time code capability. That bit of kit will go for another $1999.99. Both devices are available for pre-order now, and will ship in late April.

The GH4 camera has a new 16.05MP Digital Live MOS Sensor and uses the Venus Engine for high speed and high sensitivity recording. The camera has professional grade, 49-area auto focus in both still and video modes. The camera also has Wi-Fi and NFC technology for easy pairing with compatible wireless devices.

Large camera sensors offer image quality that isn’t found in cameras with smaller sensors, which are far more common and found in nearly all point-and-shoot compact cameras. Using a camera … Continue reading
