Sydney, Australia \u2013 May 16, 2013 \u2013 <\/b>Samsung Electronics Australia today announced that the new NX300 and NX2000 cameras will be available in Australia joining the existing flagship NX20 and Smart Camera 2.0 range.

The NX300 and NX2000 cameras boast the updated version of SMART CAMERA 2.0, a hub of innovative connectivity features.

\u201cFollowing last year\u2019s launch of the GALAXY Camera and the Smart Camera 2.0 family earlier this year, we are excited to bring the new NX300 and NX2000 cameras into Australia. Both cameras are designed to combine high imaging performance whilst allowing the camera user to easily edit, share and back up images\u201d said Craig Gillespie, Head of Digital Imaging, Samsung Australia. \u201cWith 12 different interchangeable lenses in the NX family including the new 45mm 2D\/3D lens, each sold separately, NX camera users can ensure that there\u2019s a lens for almost any purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Samsung NX300 recently won the \u2018Best CSC Advanced\u2019 award at the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) Awards, recognised as one of the most coveted photo and imaging awards worldwide. This award recognises the NX300 as one of the best advanced compact system cameras (CSC) on the market. The Samsung 45mm f\/1.8 (2D\/3D) lens was also awarded the \u2018Best Imaging Innovation\u2019 award. In total, Samsung won four 2013 TIPA Awards in the categories of \u2018Best CSC Advanced\u2019, \u2018Best Mobile Imaging Device\u2019, \u2018Best Imaging Innovation\u2019 and \u2018Best Photo TV\u2019.<\/p>\n
Shoot Fast, Share Fast<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Premium Wi-Fi connectivity in the NX300 and NX2000 is designed to allow users to share their photographs between compatible devices and desktop computers. The Direct Link hot key feature is designed to enable images to be shared securely at the touch of a button between compatible camera, smartphone and tablet technology. The SMART CAMERA App1<\/sup>, available on AndroidTM<\/sup> and iOS, connects the user\u2019s compatible smartphone to the camera via a Wi-Fi connection to easily edit, share and back-up images.2<\/sup><\/p>\n The NX300 includes a Hybrid Auto Focus (AF) system that is designed to enable fast, accurate phase and contrast detection, while the 1\/6000 sec shutter speed and up to 8.6fps in continuous shooting mode helps to ensure moments are not missed.<\/p>\n Both NX300 and NX2000 cameras integrate the new 20.3 Megapixel APS–<\/b>CMOS sensor, capable of capturing high quality detailed images with sharp, life-like colours that are crisp and clear in most lighting conditions.<\/p>\n Both cameras also incorporate the new DRIMe IV engine which works to reduce noise, improve speed and enable superior color reproduction.<\/p>\n Additionally the integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in the NX2000 links to many NFC-enabled compatible Android smartphones and tablets. Simply tap the camera with the compatible smart device and NFC immediately launches the Samsung SMART CAMERA App1<\/sup> and automatically pairs the device via a direct Wi-Fi connection.2<\/sup><\/p>\n The NX300 will include a bright 3.31\u201d <\/b>AMOLED screen and tilt <\/b>display making more angles easy to shoot, while the hybrid touch screen and 5-way manual key interface is simple and intuitive to use. The NX2000 will include a large 3.7-inch WVGA Full Touch Screen for convenient and intuitive navigation to access a range of features.<\/p>\n The NX300 is designed to make it easy for anyone to capture professional standard pictures. Samsung\u2019s Smart Mode allows users to choose from 14 different settings, such as Creative Shot, Landscape, Light Trace or Action Freeze. Each setting will automatically adjust both aperture and shutter speed in order to obtain a great shot.<\/p>\n 1<\/sup><\/i> Applications may need to be downloaded from Samsung Apps.\u00a0 Internet connection required.\u00a0 Data, subscription and other charges may apply.\u00a0 Usage may be subject to third party service provider agreements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n 2<\/sup><\/i> Internet connection required.\u00a0 Data and subscription charges may apply.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Android is a trademark of Google Inc.\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n iOS is a trademark or registered trademark of Cisco in the U.S. and other countries and is used under license.<\/i><\/p>\n Partnership with the world\u2019s fastest man<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Like Usain Bolt, the NX300 camera is super-fast and allows its users to be part of the front row action and shoot amazing moments.
