Cameras For One And All
Samsung's NX series of cameras gets a
refresh, has something for everyone
The Samsung NX200 was launched a couple of
years ago, and has had a lot of good things said about it. Noticing an
opportunity to build further into the digital camera market, Samsung has
expanded on its NX portfolio and have launched three new cameras bearing the NX
moniker in the NX1000, NX210 and the NX20.

Across the board, all three cameras come
equipped with a 20.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, developed by Samsung themselves,
and are fully compatible with Samsung's i-Function system enabling users to
control camera functions using the lens. As a first, all cameras will also come
with Wi-Fi connectivity, making it easy to share photos over the air.

The NX1000 is Samsung's portable
point-and-shoot, and comes with features such as Smart Auto 2.0 and Smart Link Hot
Key, which makes it easier to snap and share photos instantly. It also comes in
white, black and hot pink, so there's something for everyone here.
An upgrade to the NX200, the NX 210 comes
with a premium metallic brush finish, offering a 3.0 inch AMOLED display for
those vibrant and crisp colours. With easy access to Wi-Fi functions, the NX210
allows quick sharing with friends and family, whilst with Samsung Mobile Link
users can show off their best images on phones and tablets, or on the big
screen with TV Link connecting the NX210 wirelessly to Internet-enabled TVs.
The NX20 meanwhile is made for amateur enthusiasts and professionals who want a
compact camera that is on par with the performance of a DSLR, but at a fraction
of the cost and size. It incorporates a range of functions and manual controls
in order to deliver pro-standard pictures every time, including SVGA EVF so
users can frame images like a professional.
Quad Is The Way To Go
Samsung unveils it's Exynos 4 Quad
processor for new GALAXY phone

4 Quad processor
Samsung's new GALAXY S III phone is slated
to be launched sometime in May, and there has been much noise made over the
specs of the Korean electronic giant's next flagship smartphone.
What better way to confirm some of them than
by Samsung themselves announcing the processor that will be the brains behind
it? Already in production, the Samsung Exynos 4 Quad processor, clocked in at
1.4GHz has twice the processing power over its predecessor, the Exynos 4 Duo.
This is thanks to the High-K Metal Gate low power technology that saves up to
20% in terms of power consumption.
"The application processor is a
crucial element in providing our customers with a PC-like experience on mobile
devices," explains Hankil Yoon, Senior VP of Product Strategy Team at
Samsung, "Samsung's next GALAXY device, which will be officially announced
soon, offers uncompromised performance and ground breaking multitasking
features, thanks to Exynos 4 Quad's powerful performance and efficient energy
management technology."
In addition, the new processor incorporates
a full HD 30fps video hardware codec engine for high resolution 1080p video
recording and play-back, an embedded image signal processor interface for
high-quality camera functionality and an HDMI 1.4 interface for sharp and crisp
multimedia content transmission.
