Camera OverviewSamsung NX300

The Samsung NX300 is a 20MP APS-C mirrorless camera built around the Samsung NX lens mount, offering a compelling mix of imaging capability and connectivity in a compact metal and plastic body weighing just 331g. At its core sits an APS-C sensor paired with the DRIMe IV image processor, delivering an ISO range of 100 to 25600 for flexibility across varied lighting conditions. The hybrid autofocus system combines phase detection and contrast detection across 247 focus points, giving shooters responsive and accurate subject acquisition.

Burst shooting reaches 8.6 fps, making it a capable tool for capturing fast-moving subjects. On the display side, the NX300 features a 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 768,000 dots of resolution — a standout panel for composing and reviewing images. Video capabilities extend to 1080p at up to 60fps with 8-bit color, and the camera supports Standard and Cinematic color profiles for video work.

Built-in Wi-Fi is onboard for wireless image transfer, complemented by a Mini HDMI output, USB connectivity, and a hot shoe for external flash. Storage relies on SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 320 shots per charge. No viewfinder is present, and the camera lacks both in-body and digital image stabilization.
