Camera Overview — Samsung Galaxy NX

The Samsung Galaxy NX is a mirrorless camera built around a 20MP APS-C sensor powered by the DRIMe IV image processor. It supports the Samsung NX lens mount and offers a hybrid autofocus system combining Phase Detection, Contrast Detection, and Hybrid (Phase + Contrast) modes, giving shooters flexibility across a range of subjects and lighting conditions. The ISO range runs from 100 to 25600, accommodating both bright outdoor and lower-light environments.

Burst shooting reaches 8.6fps, making it a capable option for capturing fast-moving subjects. On the display side, the camera features a large 4.8-inch Touchscreen LCD at 1280x720 resolution, while the electronic viewfinder delivers 800x600 resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps in 8-bit with a Standard color profile.

Connectivity is a clear strength here, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and Mini HDMI output all on board. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. The body is constructed from metal and plastic, weighs 495g, and measures 137x101x26mm.

A built-in pop-up flash and hot shoe round out the feature set. Image stabilization is lens-based only, with no in-body or digital IS available.
