Features:
High performance made portable—great for the on-the-go photographer. The NX300 features a new, ultra-sensitive 20.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor and an advanced hybrid autofocus system for delivering detailed images that help blur the line between professional and enthusiast. And thanks to 1/6,000 shutter speed.
Taking the sensor to the next level
Advanced 20.3M APS-C CMOS Sensor
Worthy of professional photographers, but made for the enthusiast, the 20.3MP APS-C CMOS sensornow with Phase detection AFdelivers quality images and lifelike colours with a high resolution in its class. Its also great for out-focusing photography, thanks to the large sensor used in the NX300 mirror less camera. The sensor, which measures 23.5mm x 15.7mm, collects light so you can create beautiful images with reduced noise, even in low-lit situations.
Capture with great clarity and speed
Advanced Hybrid AF System
The hybrid AF (autofocus) system combines Phase detection AF and contrast AF for fast and accurate autofocusing. Phase detection AF nearly instantaneously determines the distance of your subject, while contrast AF fine-tunes the focus for outstanding contrast. Enabled by short shutter lag, the hybrid AF System allows you to shoot accurate, sharply detailed images fast.
Capture the moments within a moment
8.6fps Continuous Shooting
When you’re shooting fast-moving action such as a tennis player stretching for a shot at the net, the NX300 helps you to effortlessly capture the entire sequence with a series of brilliantly clear stills. The NX300 lets you shoot continuously at an ultra-fast rate of 8.6 frames per second to help ensure you get the shot you want. The advanced autofocus system helps to bring crystal clarity to fast-moving subjects, and a short shutter release lag helps you capture the fleeting moment before the subject moves out of frame.
The speed you need for great photography
1/6,000s Super Speed Shutter
You have a split second to take the shot your family will be talking about for generations. Take it with the NX300, which boasts a shutter speed of 1/6,000s. With that kind of shutter speed—and the fast autofocus system—you can capture a skater whipping by or a snowboarder in midair.
