28.2-Megapixel CMOS Sensor for Greater Detail

For optimal results, the NX1 contains a 28.2-megapixel APS-C sensor with a backside illumination (BSI) structure that enables it to gather more light than conventional CMOS sensors and with more pixels. This sensor helps you capture those special moments with exceptionally detailed photos.

NX AF System III for Accurate High-Speed Photos

This camera contains Samsung's NX AF System III technology for fast auto-focus, along with a Hybrid Auto-Focus system featuring 205 phase detection points with 153 cross-type sensor points and a shutter speed of up to 1/8,000 seconds. The result is clear, accurate pictures, even of fast-moving subjects.

Powerful Image Processing with DRIMe V

Featuring a high-speed DRIMe V image processor, the NX1 can shoot 15 photos a second at 28 megapixels and record 4K UHD video at 30 frames per second. Capture amazing photo sequences or get just the right picture.

Fast Auto-Focus for Continuous Shooting

The NX1 also allows you to shoot up to 70 images at one time. The camera's continuously tracking auto-focus is fast and precise, so you can simply keep your finger on the shutter and take photos. Note that the shooting performance may vary depending on the particular SD card used.

Electronic View Finder to Compose Your Shots

The NX1 comes equipped with an AMOLED electronic view finder that provides a clean, wide view and comes on in only 0.005 seconds, so you can quickly see and compose your shots.

Noise Reduction for Clear Images

Shooting in low light, even at a high ISO of 25,600, is simple with the NX1 thanks to Adaptive Noise Reduction technology. As a result, you can produce clear images that are virtually free of noise.

4K UHD Video Recording for Sharp Details

The NX1 allows you to record 4K video, which offers four times the resolution and details of Full HD--optimal whether you're capturing a family event or a breathtaking outdoor scene. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) capability lets you use just half the memory typically required for HD, while Samsung Multimedia Converter PC software, which is available as a free download, converts HEVC files to ProRes 422 for editing.

Magnesium Alloy Body for Durability

Lightweight yet sturdy, the NX1 is fully crafted from a durable magnesium alloy and is built to resist dust and minor water splashes, so you can use it even in dusty or damp conditions. (Exposure to severe conditions is not recommended.) The camera also has a rubber-like exterior and ergonomic grip that make it comfortable and secure to hold, allowing you to focus on getting just the right shot.

LCD to View Camera Settings

A small status LCD screen on the top of the camera allows you to conveniently see all your current camera settings at a glance, so that you can get your shot just the way you want it.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC Connectivity for Sharing

With the NX1, it's simple to connect and share photos with other devices thanks to integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC capabilities. Wireless AC technology allows you to quickly share high-resolution photos and videos.

Built-In Auto-Focus Features for Convenience

The NX1 provides some handy auto-focus features such as Active Auto-Focus, which can detect when your subject starts moving and automatically switch the camera to a continuous mode, and Movie Auto-Focus, which uses a quick-phase auto-focus for faster response and less wobbling.

The Processor in the camera is crazy! 28MP 15FPS RAW images is awesome. Autofocus for photo is really nice in good light. In low light if your focusing on a dark area it will hunt and not find focus. This instantly reminded me of the 5d mark 2 that was not known for good autofocus. I believe this can be fixed with firmware update, and this may be the reason release was pushed back 3 times. The Canon EOS M (also Mirrorless) had horrible autofocus at launch but got much better after a firmware update. I really like the sound of the shutter on the camera. Best I've heard so far. Nice quiet and a low sound not loud and higher pitch like other I've used. I wish my 5d2 had this shutter when I was shooting weddings.

Lets get into video. First I'll mention the autofocus during video isn't perfect like the 70D but is better than anything else i've used. It does have that same focusing issue in really low light like with photo. You can also touch to focus and it works well but at this time its more of an abrupt fast change, instead of smooth transition like the 70D. I hope samsung fixes this soon.

The Camera supports C4k,UHD 4k, 1080P up to 120FPS, and other smaller formats. It records all this in either "PRO" which is 80mbps or another option which is 40mbps. It used the new h.265 coded which is an awesome codec BUT no real editors support it yet meaning you need to convert the footage to either H.264, ProRes, or another format. The software Samsung provides sucks, I purchased wondershare and its A LOT better, and is surprisingly efficient. Samsung made a big mistake not including another format for people to use until editing software gains native support for h.265.

The 4k footage looks great. The image is nice and the colors in the standard setting (picture profile off) look good! There is no flap profile yet but I suspect this will be added with the popularity of S-Log in the A7s and Panasonic putting one out for the GH4. The 120fps image looks great! Just as good as 1080P in 30FPS which is awesome as the GH4's 96fps is really bad, and looks like 720P upscaled to 1080 with lots of aliasing and moire added and details lost. I'm really surprised by this, if 120FPS is something you need this may be enough to get this camera.

Low light looks good for a APS-C sensor, better than others but worse than modern full frames like 5D3. In video the NX1 is about 1 stop better over the GH4 under 3200iso. The GH4 has visible noise at 200iso which a lot of people complain about, where the NX1's noise starts to become visible at 800iso. At 3200 and 6400 (limit for video in nx1 & gh4) the GH4 performs better, this is most likely because the GH4's noise looks more monochrome and film grain like, where the NX1's noise is more "wavy" and digital looking like the Canon cameras. This was surprising to me!
