Smart Camera NX30

The versatile Samsung NX30 SMART Camera delivers performance you demand. Its 20.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor ensures brilliant images even in low lit situations, the next-gen hybrid autofocus system provides accurate focusing, and a 1/8000 second shutter speed enables you to capture fast-moving subjects with little to no blur. You can also share your brilliant images with embedded NFC (Near Field Communication) and Wi-Fi—these features let you quickly send pictures to your smartphone or tablet by simply touching the camera to the device. Finally, the NX30’s dynamic design and seamless build quality—including tiltable eye-level electronic viewfinder and Super AMOLED Swivel and Touch Display are as professional as the images it takes.

Hybrid AF & 20.3MP APS-C CMOS Sensor

Built with a hybrid AF (Auto Focus) system and the largest sensor available in a mirrorless system lens camera, the NX30 delivers lightning-quick focusing while producing stunning depth-of-field and out-focusing effects. The hybrid AF system combines phase detection AF and contrast AF for faster and more accurate autofocusing. Measuring 23.5mm x 15.7mm, the 20.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor captures the most light to create beautiful, noise-free pictures and video. And with an incredibly short shutter lag, the NX30 allows you to shoot accurate, sharply detailed images faster.
