Samsung NX300 camera

By taking some key features from its range of Galaxy smartphones and building them into an extremely elegant form factor with the ability to produce great images, Samsung has changed the way people share their images. The Galaxy NX300 offers everything you would expect from a top-end professional camera, including the ability to change lenses. However, unlike professional cameras that require the user to know everything about ISO settings and white balance in order to get the perfect image, the Galaxy NX300 includes a range of preconfigured modes. This means that the user simply switches to Night mode when taking images in low-light conditions, with the camera automatically changing the settings to produce the best photo. The same goes with Sports mode or Burst mode, where up to 30 images are taken at a time, allowing you to choose the best one. One of the most appealing aspects of the camera is its ability to connect directly to a WiFi network, allowing the user to share images via Facebook or Twitter on the fly. Should a network not be available, the camera can be tethered to a smartphone with the required app through the Direct Link feature. This lets users save images to their phone and then share them.
