Samsung NX1, a mirrorless shooter with a 28MP BSI APS-C sensor

Samsung unveiled the Samsung NX1, a mirrorless shooter with a 28MP BSI APS-C sensor.

The Samsung NX1 delivers superb image quality and unrivalled usability, setting a new benchmark for photographers everywhere and providing a genuine alternative to DSLRs as the professional camera of choice around the world. Featuring best in class 15FPS continuous AF shooting, a unique Auto Focus (AF) System III with 205 Phase Detection AF points and 28MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor for superior image quality, the versatile performance and precision craftsmanship will challenge even the most classical photographers to re-think their understanding of professional photography.

Featuring Samsung’s new NX AF (Auto Focus) System III with 205 Phase Detection AF points, the NX1 re-defines the boundaries of semi-professional level photography with its speed, agility and focusing ability. While the most extraordinary moments can pass by in an instance, the NX1's world class AF speed (0.055sec) allows them to be captured and remembered in rich detail for years to come. Additionally, industry leading 15FPS continuous shooting allows NX1 users to seamlessly track and shoot whole action sequences.

The Samsung NX1 is also equipped with Samsung’s newly designed 28MP APS-C CMOS Sensor, featuring an innovative Back Side Illumination (BSI) structure with a micro lens array. Compared to conventional CMOS sensors, BSI reduces noise more effectively by keeping the path between the lens and sensors clear so more light can hit each pixel, lowering the signal-to-noise ratio. As a result, NX1 users need never compromise on perfection, even in low light. Superb image quality and jaw-dropping results are guaranteed, whatever the shooting scenario or subject.

The Samsung NX1 supports native ISO 100-25600 and extended ISO to 51200, letting you capture well exposed images with less noise even when the lighting conditions are quite dark. Furthermore, utilizing new technology designed specifically for the NX1, even subtle noise produced by cameras that cannot be seen by the naked eye can be effectively diminished. This technology works by distinguishing each imaging area, such as edges, textures, or skies and intelligently applying different types of noise reduction to the individual parts. This method retains details without the softening that’s common with other global noise reduction technologies.

The Samsung NX1 supports both 4K and Ultra HD (UHD) video recording, providing flexibility and choice for movie capture. UHD has a four times higher resolution than Full HD, readily apparent in the smooth and impressive quality of footage shot on the NX1. The inbuilt HEVC Codec (H.265), the most advanced compression technology available, brings efficiency to the storage of video clips by compressing high quality video to half the size and bit rate of H.264 footage without compromising on quality. All files are conveniently stored on the SD Card so that an external 4K recorder is not necessary. Post production requirements also haven’t been neglected with the inclusion of conversion software for editing the 4K footage.

The highly durable magnesium alloy body of the NX1 offers the solid and rugged feel that high end photographers are accustomed to. Carefully crafted, the ergonomic design of the NX1 is comfortable to hold, with a specially shaped grip which allows users to maintain a tight hold while shooting. Those seeking further photographic options can take advantage of the custom designed Vertical Grip accessory (sold separately), allowing for the use of a larger battery and easier vertical and horizontal shooting.

The NX1’s sturdy build is strengthened with dust and splash resistance, including rubber seals and seams to protect dials and buttons. This durable design helps NX1 photographers to seize every opportunity to capture awe inspiring scenes, regardless of any outdoor shooting environments.

The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is an XGA OLED display with 2.36 million dots, providing users with an extremely life-like and immersive eye-level composing experience. Bolstering the EVF, the NX1’s DRIMe V Image Processor cuts down lag time to just 0.005-seconds so that the EVF reflects the scene being shot in nearly real time, without delay.

The 3.0-inch FVGA Super AMOLED display with touch capabilities is brilliantly lit and has a natural looking display. The only CSC to feature a top LCD panel, the NX1’s UI synchronized status display window clearly displays a number of advanced camera settings, from WB, drive and battery condition, so that it is quick and easy to control the camera.

Equipped with Wi-Fi functionality, the NX1 has the fastest, most advanced connectivity available, allowing users to watch 4K movies on UHD TV via wireless streaming. With its outstanding data transfer speed, users can send both large images and Full HD video files swiftly and without delay. The NX1 is also the world's first Bluetooth equipped CSC, further boosting Samsung's Smart Camera offering and ensuring users are always connected for easy pairing and quick transfer times with smartphones and tablets.

Expanding the NX lens range is the new 50-150mm 2.8 S ED OIS lens, a high end, premium telephoto lens perfectly matched with the NX1. With its ultra-fast F2.8 maximum aperture and 35mm equivalent 77-231mm focal range, this multipurpose S-series lens is ideally suited to a wide range of scenarios including sport, wildlife and portrait photography. Additional features include Advanced Multi-Axis Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system with up to 4.5 stops (at mid range, under the CIPA standard), Samsung’s Ultra Precise Stepping Motor (UPSM), and dust and splash resistance offered by Samsung Hyper Shield (SHS).
