The Samsung NX1000 pairs a 20MP APS-C sensor with a compact, travel-friendly body measuring just 114 x 62.5 x 37.5 mm and weighing 222g, making it one of the lighter options in the interchangeable-lens camera category. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 5472x3648 pixels and supports burst shooting at up to 8fps for action and fast-moving subjects. Video capabilities include 1080p recording at up to 60fps, suitable for smooth everyday footage.
