The NX300 raises the bar for compact system cameras (CSC), delivering an outstanding combination of features, functionality and style for perfect shooting in every moment. Samsung also announced the new NX 45mm F1.8 2D/3D lens, the world’s first one-lens 3D system capable of capturing both still images and full HD movies in perfect 3D quality.
“The NX300 is the epitome of the SMART CAMERA, designed with the professional photographer in mind.

The NX300 delivers the ability to capture, edit and share the most beautiful pictures possible, all on a device with the most advanced connected technology available,” said Irene Ng, Vice President, Marketing, Samsung Asia Pte Ltd.
Perfect Shooting
Central to the NX300’s outstanding imaging performance is its brand new 20.3 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, capable of capturing high quality details. Images boast sharp, life-like colors, and are crisp and clear in all light conditions. The wide ISO range (ISO100-25600) further improves performance, letting users capture beautifully balanced images in even the darkest conditions. A brand new Hybrid Auto Focus (AF) system also delivers fast, accurate phase and contrast detection, while the 1/6000 sec shutter speed and 8.6fps continuous shooting mode ensure you never miss a moment.
Samsung’s unique in-house developed DRIMe IV imaging engine provides outstanding developments in speed, and image quality. The DRIMe IV engine enables better color reproduction and greater noise reduction, as well as support for full 1080p HD video capture in both 2D and 3D (when combined with Samsung’s new 45mm 2D/3D lens).
The NX300’s 84mm (3.31”) AMOLED screen makes capturing and reviewing your images a pleasure, while the hybrid touch screen and 5-way manual key interface is simple and intuitive to use. The tilt display makes it easier than ever to take high and low angle shots, letting you capture your world from any angle you choose.
