Samsung continues with its onslaught of
product launches before CES takes over. Samsung has officially announced
its next NX-series of mirrorless camera - the NX300 which is a
3D-capable successor of the NX210. Alongwith this mirrorless camera,
Samsung has also announced a 3D lens which is supposedly the world’s
first one-lens 3D system.
Before you jump to conclusions, no the NX300 will not sport an Android 4.1 operating system like the Galaxy Camera.
The NX300 houses a 20.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, an ISO range of 100 to
25,600, 8.6 FPS continuous shooting mode, hybrid autofocus for faster
focussing, 1080p @ 60fps support for video files, dual-band Wi-Fi and a
fast 3D capable DRIMe IV image processor.
The NX300 has also got an upgrade on the
screen size over its predecessors. It now sports a 3.3-inch AMOLED
touchscreen having a resolution of 800x480 pixel using 768k dots. It can
tilt to 90 degrees.

The NX300 comes in white and black
colours with the body sporting a retro faux-leather finish. The black
one looks particularly gorgeous and sports quite a heft on the side of
the palm rest.
Samsung has also announced a 3D-capable
45mm f/1.8 lens to be sold separately which will work with older NX
cameras (sans the 3D capability). Using this 3D lens with the NX300, you
can shoot 3D stills as well as 1080p 3D movies. While shooting in the
3D mode, two LCD filters move in front of the sensor and flicker on and
off for 30 seconds create the 3D image.
The NX300 has a price point of USD 749
(approx Rs. 41,000) whereas the 45mm 3D capable lens will be sold for
USD 599 (approx. Rs. 33,000). Both are expected to go on sale in March
this year.
