Samsung who are determined to grow their share of the OZ digital camera market even if it costs them millions, has announced several new digital camera’s in advance of next week’s International CES in Las Vegas.
Among the new offerings is a next-generation NX series mirrorless interchangeable lens camera and a long-zoom point-and-shoot.
The new NX11, will replace the the NX10 by adding compatibility with new i-Function lenses, first introduced on the NX100.
The Samsung NX11 will come with an 18-55mm i-Function zoom lens, and Samsung said it will support the NX camera line with two new i-Function lenses, a 20mm pancake lens and 20-50mm zoom.
A “lens priority” mode dial, allows selecting the best shooting settings for the lens.
The camera includes a 3-inch active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) screen, plus an electronics viewfinder.
A hot shoe on top of the camera supports an external flash, to improve upon the lighting supplied by the pop-up fill flash.
Like other NX series models, the NX 11 employs an APS-C sensor, which is larger than sensors offered in so-called Micro Four Thirds sensor-based mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras.
The camera supports shooting in RAW mode, and will record HD video at up to a 720/30p format.
The 18-55mm lens supplied with the camera has an F/3.5 maximum aperture. The new 20mm pancake lens, meanwhile, affords a bright F/2.8 aperture.
The new digital point-and-shoot (model WB700), meanwhile, offers 14 megapixel resolution, an 18x optical zoom lens with a 24mm ultra wide angle, and a 3-inch LCD monitor.
The camera measures 4.1-by-2.3-by-.98 inches, records HD video in 720p using the H.264 compression standard, and its available in black and silver.
Other features include an HDMI output and manual control options.
