Today, Samsung Malaysia Electronics launched the much anticipated Samsung NX mini which is the slimmest and lightest detachable and interchangeable lens featured SMART camera for RRP RM1399. What does SMART here stands for? Well it simply means it has ability to determine what setting should be applied depending on the situation automatically or even giving you the choice of choosing from various SMART modes manually and with the addition of WiFi and NFC, you can tag and share anytime or anywhere right after the photo has been taken, no matter Dropbox which grants you free 2GB of storage or even Flickr. I know most of you would expect me to get into the specs details, but I will put that down onto a table format below so that it would look much neater and eye candy.
Some cool features that I would love to highlight is that, the 3″ display for the camera is called as “flip up display” where you can rotate up to 180 degrees, which is certainly helpful for “selfies”. The Samsung NX mini comes in five attractive colors- white, pink, mint green, brown and black, with a solid premium metal finish of the body would definitely make you fall in love with it. The camera weighs about 158g excluding the lens with 20.5MP BSI CMOS Sensor, what else you need in order to capture a perfect photo?
The NX mini has all of the settings that present in the Galaxy Camera series such as, the shooting modes or you can call as scenes which some I can recall are Firework, Silhouette and much more. The Samsung NX mini is capable of capturing at a speed of 6fps in Continuous Shot mode with a remarkable shutter speed of 1/16000 sec, you can barely miss capturing any valuable moments in your life.
There are so much more to talk about, but I guess you could just head over to Samsung Malaysia’s official website by clicking here for more info regarding the camera. Okay, rest of the info, check out the table below.
