Samsung NX10 Digital Camera Hits Oz

Following its debut at CES 2010, Samsung announced that its new
digital camera, the NX10, will be available in April from $849.
At an event in Sydney last night, Samsung Australia's Digital AV Marketing
Manager, Sagar Dave said that the NX10 is the evolution of digital cameras.
"This camera gives you the full freedom to express
yourself and we are bringing a compact and stylish
product that promises high performance, while
retaining a focus on value," said Dave.
The NX10 is a mirrorless camera, and sits
somewhere in between a DSLR and a point-and-
shoot model. According to Samsung, it is a camera
that is portable, high in quality and lightweight
enough to take travelling or pop in your handbag.
During our hands-on test at Taronga Zoo yesterday afternoon and this morning,
we found the camera to be easy to use. We took photos of snakes, echidnas, and
koalas using the pancake lens (30mm) on Aperture Mode, switched to the Tele
Zoom lens (55-200mm) as we took photos of the giraffe, and used long
exposures to take photos of the animals last night.
Users who are not familiar with the use of Program, Shutter Priority, or Aperture
Priority can tinker around with the settings as the camera will ‘advise' you if the
setting is not the best by highlighting the number in red. Other key elements
found on the camera include in-depth manual controls and a Smart Auto
function, which automatically detects the surrounding environment of the shot
and selects the right shoot-mode.
The 3.0-inch AMOLED (active matrix organic light-emitting diode) screen in the
Samsung NX10 allowed us to view the photos under the sunshine, while its built-
in sensor turns the screen off when we brought the camera close to our face to
use the viewfinder.
Samsung said that the original line up of Pancake, Standard Zoom and Tele
Zoom lenses launched with the Samsung NX10 during CES will be complemented
by the introduction of a further five new lenses this year. This means that there
will be a total of eight lenses designed specifically for the Samsung NX camera
system available this year.
2. Finally, the camera can also take HD (720p) videos and saves it in H.264 format.
The NX10 will be available in April for $899 with the pancake lens (30mm), or
$849 for the NX10 with the 18-55mm lens.
