The Samsung SMART CAMERA NX30 is Samsung’s flagship mirrorless camera, featuring a 20.3MP APS-C CMOS Sensor (23.5 mm x 15.7 mm) with Hybrid AF that combines 105 Phase detection AF and 247 Contrast-detect AF for lightning-fast and accurate autofocusing.

The NX30 ticks almost all the features enthusiasts look for and adds one more that you may not even have thought of: an XGA (2.36M-dot) EVF that conveniently tilts 80° up. A Proximity eye-sensor automatically switches the display from the AMOLED screen to the EVF when you bring your eye up to the viewfinder, and back to the AMOLED screen when you move your eye away from the viewfinder.

A top shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. allows freezing fast-moving subjects and capturing the decisive moment in action photography as well as allowing the use of a large aperture in bright daylight to obtain shallow depth of field bokeh effects. Continuous Shooting is at 9fps with autofocus.

The Samsung NX30 is brimming with Wi-Fi capabilities, including Embedded NFC (Near Field Communication) and Wi-Fi to allow you to send pictures to your smartphone or tablet by simply touching the camera to the device.

Shoot Full HD 1080 / 60p video with stereo sound with a 3.5pi microphone. A standard 3.5 mm microphone jack allows the use of an external microphone. The Smart Range+ feature automatically gives tonal detail a boost, so shadows are a little brighter, and highlights are a little darker. Dual IS features both optical and electronic image stabilization. HDMI interface connects your camera to your HDTV.

Features advanced photographers will appreciate: RAW file support, PASM shooting modes (with full shutter speed range available), manual zoom ring, manual focus ring (fly-by-wire), and a iFn feature that turns the focus ring into a Function ring.

You won’t have to suffer through a cheap image viewer and editor here: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 is bundled free with your NX30.

The Samsung NX30 retails (street prices) for CAD $ 969 / US $799 / £652 with the 18-55mm OIS III kit lens. Check latest prices / Buy
