Samsung takes the 4K Production Camera Lead






Samsung has introduced the pro-oriented NX1 mirrorless camera for Photokina 2014, boasting the first-ever APS-C sized BSI-CMOS sensor. The 28.2MP NX1 also offers a sophisticated hybrid autofocus system with 205 phase-detect points covering 90% of the frame, and the camera is weather-sealed to resist the elements.

The list of high-end specifications reels on: the NX1 is capable of recording 4K video, offers 15 fps burst shooting with continuous autofocus, and provides a 2.36M dot OLED EVF. Being a Samsung camera, it offers advanced wireless features including built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The connectivity power can auto-shift from bluetooth pairing to smartphone Wi-Fi allows for camera settings selection, image monitoring, and other real-time controls for zoom. Camera has 6df orientation awareness but not GPS positioning unless when paired to an appropriate smartphone.

The Samsung NX1 will be offered body-only for $1499.99, or as a 'premium kit' with 16-50mm F2-2.8 lens, battery grip, and extra battery for $2799.99.
