Samsung NX2000 launched

When it comes to digital cameras, not many of us would think of Samsung being right up there with the best, although you can say that the South Korean giant has certainly made its fair share of strides in recent memory. Well, Samsung has just decided to expand their award-winning NX family by announcing the launch of the Samsung NX2000, where this stylish and slim compact system camera (CSC) will merge outstanding, professional results with revolutionary Samsung SMART Camera technology. It does not matter if you want to shoot photos or videos, the Samsung NX2000 will be able to do both with ease.

Just what kind of hardware as well as built-in software that the Samsung NX2000 carries with it right out of the box? For starters, the Samsung NX2000 will boast of a large 20.3MP ASP-C CMOS Sensor which was produced entirely by Samsung in-house, where it is capable of delivering extremely sharp and highly detailed images, even in low light conditions images. The presence of its DRIMe IV engine will further help reduce noise, improve speed and enable superior color reproduction.

Heck, you can use the Samsung NX2000 for 8fps fast continuous shooting, letting you capture shots which you might normally miss because the hardware that you carry lack the relevant amount of technical ability. It does not matter whether it is you, the photographer, or the subject who is quickly on the move, the 1/4000th second top shutter speed makes capturing clear, blur free images an achievable task, and the assistance of the wide ISO range (100 to 25600) will help to deliver images which are beautifully balanced, never mind what kind of lighting conditions you are shooting in.

Apart from that, you get the enjyo 3D Still and Movie Recording capabilities, Full HD video recording capability, enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity and the Samsung SMART CAMERA app which is available on both Android and iOS platforms that helps you enjoy a streamlined manner of linking smart devices. You can pick up the Samsung NX2000 will be available in white, black and pink shades if you are interested.

Samsung outs $650 NX2000 camera with 20.3MP sensor, NFC, WiFi and touchscreen

DNP Samsung announces NX2000

If you’ve been torn between Samsung’s NX300 and NX1000 mirrorless cameras, you should know the company has officially split the difference with its new NX2000. While it likely won’t sway NEX-3N lovers away from Sony, the $650 NX2000 is only a Benjamin more than Sammy’s lower-end NX1000 and packs the same 3D-capable DRIMe IV processor and NFC functionality as the pricier NX300. Of course, you still get the 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor seen across the line. The differentiating factor from its siblings is the Galaxy Camera-like 3.7-inch, 1,152k-dot touchscreen (fixed) on the back, rather than the usual assortment of rear buttons. The 100 to 25,600 ISO range and maximum JPG burst rate of 8 fps is just like the 300’s, though this is only capable of recording 1080p video at 60 fps. Unfortunately, the autofocus is only contrast-detection, but Samsung claims that it’s one of the fastest to the draw.

As you’d expect, this shooter features WiFi (single band) for connecting through AllShare or the Smart Camera app, plus there’s a microSD slot for transferring files physically. Sure, it’s not the most exciting update to Samsung’s camera line, but it’s clearly a big leap up from the NX1000 — on paper, anyway. The NX2000 will be available soon in your choice of white, black or pink, and it comes bundled with Adobe Lightroom 4, a 20-50mm lens and a hotshoe-powered flash. Grab more looks in the gallery below and hit the press release after the break for all the technical details.

Samsung NX2000 mirrorless camera hits the FCC, may carry a touch UI

Samsung NX2000 mirrorless camera hits the FCC, may carry a smart OS

Samsung may not have shaken up its mirrorless camera line with the very evolutionary NX1100, but there’s hints at the FCC of bigger things in store. A filing at the US agency has confirmed the existence of an unannounced NX2000. On the surface, it’s similar to its ancestors: labeling and tests point to a 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, an overall familiar body design and the presence of 802.11n WiFi. However, there’s talk that the real focus for the NX2000 may be the interface, not image quality. A purported photo making the rounds at Photo Rumors (after the break) lines up with the FCC listing while showing an unexpected back that includes both a touchscreen and a hardware home key — although nothing is definite, it suggests Samsung could bring a smarter, possibly Android-based interface to its mirrorless series. We’ll only know just how clever a camera the NX2000 is when it’s more official than a mix of regulatory clearances and rumors.
