Samsung NX30: fast continuous shooting at 9 frames per second

Samsung's new compact system camera equipped with professional capabilities, the NX30, is now also available in Hungary. It comes with "S" series premium lenses with burst shooting capability that is incredibly fast even for high-end SLR cameras and a brightness unique in its category.

Thanks to the developments of recent years, the market for digital cameras and cameras has now undergone a significant transformation. Thanks to the vast resources devoted to research and development by technology giants like Samsung, a new category has emerged in the skies of photography: mirrorless interchangeable lens, or compact system cameras. Although these devices have significantly outperformed their SLR predecessors in many areas, such as being significantly lighter and smaller, making them more portable while having excellent image quality, they have so far typically competed only with the entry-level category of DSLRs.

Recognizing this, Samsung has created the NX30, which provides the right quality and capabilities not only for discerning amateurs but also for true professionals. Highlights include shutter speeds of up to 1/8000 sec, continuous shooting at 9 frames per second, and hybrid autofocus, allowing the photographer to capture even the fastest flashing moment. Thanks to the NX30's advanced NFC and Wi-Fi connectivity features, the resulting images and videos can be copied to NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets at the touch of a button, or uploaded to Facebook or YouTube at a similar rate, without any complicated setup operations. ra.

High quality images are guaranteed by the advanced 20,3 MP APS-C CMOS sensor. With the large image sensor, the main subject can be easily highlighted and the background can be blurred. The Samsung NX AF System II provides lightning fast and precise focusing, so users don’t miss any moment that matters to them.

The NX30's DRIMeIV image processor can capture Full HD 1080 / 60p videos. With its sensitive sensor, ISO100-25600 is optional, so photographers don't have to be afraid of low light. OIS Duo technology ensures a shake-free image for videos, even when the camera owner is on the move. You can also take 45D shots with the Samsung 1.8mm F2 3D / 3D lens. OLED Color provides maximum contrast and true color, making landscapes more beautiful and portraits more lifelike.

The NX30's electronic viewfinder has a uniquely high resolution of 2,359 million pixels, and it can be tilted 80 degrees, making it easy to take photos from special points of view - such as above the crowd's head or between the legs. In addition, the camera's 3-inch screen with Super AMOLED technology, which can be rotated and tilted almost completely freely, multiplies the possibilities for creative photographers and videographers.

With the NFC and Wi-Fi capability of the Samsung NX30, photos can be shared in a number of ways, and with the ‘Tag & Go’ feature, users can share their memories with one touch to owners of other NFC-enabled smartphones or tablets.

With Photo Beam, you can copy photos or videos to your smartphone or tablet by tapping the devices. With MobileLink, users can send multiple images to up to four different smart devices at once. AutoShare automatically sends all captured photos to the selected smartphone or tablet, while Remote Viewfinder Pro also lets you control the camera from smartphones.

Dropbox, the popular web hosting service, is pre-installed on your device, making it the first camera to upload directly to Dropbox. In addition, images can be uploaded directly to Flickr.

Advanced video recording capabilities make the NX30 the ideal companion for videographers looking for a compact yet versatile, high-performance device. In addition to the ability to capture Full HD stereo videos, the NX30 also has a 3.5mm microphone input. The Audio Level Meter also appears on the display, so you can evaluate the sound quality during recording. In addition, all of this can be adjusted manually for optimal sound. If all that weren’t enough, the NX30 is also capable of HDMI live streaming in Full HD 30p quality.

The lens' Ultra-Precise Stepping Motor (UPSM) is an improvement on the traditional autofocus motor, the Stepping Motor (SM), which is three times more accurate. Equipped with an optical image stabilizer and three aspherical, two extra-low scatter and two extremely high refractive index lens elements, the lens produces high-quality images with brilliant clarity in all conditions. Aspherical members correct for spherical distortion and low-scatter ones for chromatic aberration, while incorporation of members with a high refractive index allows for a smaller size.
