Samsung NX10 con obiettivo 18-55mm F3,5-5,6 OIS – Click per ingrandire

A quasi un anno dall’annuncio e dopo innumerevoli leak (più o meno esatti), la nuova NX10 è ufficiale e, contestualmente, sono arrivate anche le anteprime sui maggiori siti di informazione fotografica. Le caratteristiche tecniche, già abbondantemente filtrate nei mesi scorsi, sono rimaste praticamente invariate:

Ciò che colpisce di questa EVIL-camera* è l’uso di un sensore APS-C da 14,6Mpixel dotato di attacco a baionetta (Samsung NX Mount) per ottiche intercambiabili ed installato in un corpo macchina da compattina di appena 350 grammi di peso. Il mirino è un Electronic Viewfinder dell’ultima generazione con la bellezza di 921.000 punti, quindi capace di rendere più che degnamente la scena inquadrata; altra particolarità della NX10 è costituita dallo schermo posteriore, un AMOLED da 3″ e 614.000 punti capace di un contrasto, dichiarato, di 10.000:1 e quindi di rappresentare neri e colori scuri con eccezionale fedeltà.

Pur se stranamente assenti dalla press release, gli obiettivi che accompagneranno la NX10 al debutto saranno tre: un interessantissimo pancake 30mm F2, un “classico” 18-55mm F3,5-5,6 OIS ideale come ottica kit ed un 50-200mm 4-5,6 OIS. I due zoom sono entrambi stabilizzati.

Oltre ad avere la possibilità di riprendere video in qualità HD (720p@30fps), la NX10 può scattare a 30fps ad una risoluzione di 1,4MPixel; a 14,6MPixel invece la velocità di scatto in continuo è di 3fps, allineato quindi alla media delle reflex entry-level in commercio. Attese a primavera del 2010, la NX10 e relative ottiche non hanno ancora un prezzo ufficiale.

SAMSUNG UNVEILS THE NEXT GENERATION OF CAMERA – THE NX10

Samsung NX10’s Innovative Technology Provides ‘Best in Class’ Features with a Large APS-C Size Sensor, Bright AMOLED Screen and Fast Auto Focus to Give Users Ultimate Performance

Ridgefield Park, NJ (January 4, 2010) - Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, today announced the Samsung NX10 – an innovative digital camera that provides users with optimum image quality in a sleek, compact body. Delivering creativity without compromise, users can now be as creative as they want on the move, without having to compromise perfect images. The NX10 will be on display during the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show, January 7-10, in the Samsung booth #11026 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The NX10 incorporates a fast and decisive auto focus (AF), 14.6 MP APS-C size CMOS sensor and unique, large 3.0” AMOLED screen, allowing users to easily view their images, even in bright sunlight. Users can also record in HD movie to create the full story. Available in two colors, Noble Black and Titan Silver, the Samsung NX10 is small, light and ergonomically designed to ensure maximum portability for everyday use.

The Samsung NX10 ensures users never miss a moment, with one of the fastest AF in its class on the market. The company’s latest innovation, the new DRIMe II Pro engine and advanced AF algorithm, also provide ultra fast AF speed with the higher precision of contrast AF.

The Samsung NX10 has the heart of a DSLR embedded inside the compact frame of a digital camera, successfully integrating the APS-C size CMOS sensor with a mirrorless interchangeable lens, for a sleek, lightweight camera that users can easily take with them everywhere they go.

Consumers are not just limited to taking shots but can also tell their own stories in video format with HD movie recording (H.264 codec).

Samsung continues to extend the usage of AMOLED screens across many products, using a large 3.0” AMOLED screen in Samsung NX10. AMOLED provides easier viewing even in bright sunshine and at acute viewing angles, meaning users no longer need to shield their screen with their hand. The category leading screen also provides 10,000 times faster response rate than conventional LCDs, has a far lower power consumption and higher contrast ratio – 10,000:1 vs. 500:1.

“The new Samsung NX10 marks the start of the next generation of cameras,” said Mr. SJ Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company. “We know from our detailed research over several years that what consumers want from their cameras is evolving, which we’ve reflected in the development of the Samsung NX10. With specialist equipment open to everyone and no longer restricted solely to the professional, more and more people want to capture something creative and tell a story through their camera – but they also want something compact that they can carry around with them all day. The large sensor and the ultra fast auto focus give consumers the quality they demand as well as the compactness they want in one exceptional package.”

Mr. Park continued: “Samsung has always been quick to implement cutting edge technology and no more so when it comes to quality of images. For the first time in the market, Samsung has successfully integrated an APS-C size sensor into a compact body by eliminating the mirror box, meaning that our users can now be as creative as they want to be on the move without having to compromise on image quality.”

The Samsung NX10 also contains a range of intelligent features to put professional quality images within reach of the amateur photographer. The Samsung NX10 includes in-depth manual controls and also a Smart Auto function which automatically detects the surrounding environment of the shot and selects the best shooting mode. Its Smart Range feature also enables the user to vividly express both bright areas and dark areas in the same frame, and the Supersonic Dust Reduction system keeps those dust particles clear of the image sensor that can often impair an image. It even senses when the user brings the camera close to their face to look through the viewfinder, and puts the AMOLED screen on standby to conserve power.
