Samsung announces NX300 mirrorless camera

Samsung has just announced its latest mirrorless interchangeable lens camera and the successor to last year’s NX210 – the Samsung NX300.

Samsung-NX300

For starters, the NX300 has 20.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, an ISO range of 100 to 25,600, and a shutter speed of up to 1/6000th of a second. In burst mode it can make 8.6 shots per second and can record videos of up to 1080p at 60 fps. Other features include a 3.3-inch AMOLED tiltable touchscreen display, dual-band WiFi connectivity, and the ability to receive commands from smartphones or tablets through the Samsung SMART CAMERA app on iOS and Android. But what makes the NX300 so special is its ability to shoot 3D photos and videos through Samsung’s 45mm F1.8 2D/3D lens.

The Samsung NX300 ships in March with a 20-50mm kit lens and costs $750. But if you want the 45mm 2D/3D lens system that would cost you another $600.

Polaroid said to be working on an Android camera

There’s been a rumor making its round in the web recently regarding Polaroid’s plan of unveiling an Android-powered camera. But Polaroid has a trick up its sleeve to differentiate itself from the other manufacturers who’ve already integrated Google’s platform to their respective cameras.

Dubbed as IM1836, this alleged compact camera is said to run on Ice Cream Sandwich and sports an 18MP sensor, 3.5-inch display and built-in flash. The IM1836 is also said to support wireless connection via WiFi, but it wasn’t mentioned if it’ll have cellular data option.

What’s so special about this camera though is, if the rumors are to be believed, that it’s probably the first Android-imbued mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. We’re not sure though if the IM1836 will join Olympus and Panasonic in the Micro Four-Thirds race or they’ll come up with their own proprietary mount.

An MILC running on Android is an interesting proposition, one that may boost Polaroid’s popularity again as one of the top players in the imaging industry if positioned properly. We only wish that Polaroid will price this competitively so as not to spoil its promising future. The Polaroid IM1836 is slated to make its first public debut in January at the Consumer Electronic Show.
