Samsung Electronics has launched the NX1, the world’s fastest and most accurate interchangeable-lens camera.

The NX1 is the latest addition to Samsung NX series, which combines the connectivity features that consumers expect, with crystal clear image quality, lightning fast shutter speeds, and a durable body that lets users take photos under any conditions, said a statement.

In celebration of the art of photography, the camera was unveiled at a special launch event held in associtation with Gulf Photo Plus and in the presence of photojournalist David Burnett.

During the event, Burnett shared insights from his 40-year career as a photojournalist and gave an exclusive preview of images shot on the NX1 from his journey across the Middle East.

Raj Varma, head of Division – Mobility Sales Group Samsung Gulf Electronics, said: “By expanding our award winning NX series with the NX1, we are confident that our latest model will equip professional photographers with the tools to capture the perfect shot. Unrivalled by any other Compact System Camera on the market, the NX1 boasts superior shutter speed and image quality that will leave you nothing less than impressed with this camera’s performance.

“The images documenting David Burnett’s journey across the region demonstrate the unrivalled capabilities of the NX1, and we are honoured to have worked with such a legendary photographer to showcase the camera’s features.”

The NX1 boasts a DRIMeV Imaging Engine, which allows for 28-megapixel photos to be taken at 15 frames per second (fps), which will allow users to continuously shoot high-quality images without experiencing any delays in camera function despite the size of the data stream.

The camera also offers a top-notch video setting. Users will be able to shoot their videos in 4K UHD, four times higher resolution than HD.

The footage is guaranteed to be smooth and impressive, whether you are viewing it on your laptop or on a high-resolution television, said the statement.

Samsung’s design team created a casing that makes the NX1 a perfect camera for any weather condition. The durability of its magnesium body is enhanced by dust and drip-proof seals around the dials, button, and seams of the device, allowing for beautiful captures to be made in any conditions, it said.

The range of interchangeable lenses is also dust and splash-proof, making it easier than ever to expand your photography skills in rain or shine.

The NX1 continues to build on the success of Samsung’s Smart Camera technology with built-in WiFi and groundbreaking Bluetooth connectivity. Sharing your memories is a snap with its user-friendly interface and high-speed data transfer capabilities.  - TradeArabia News Service
