The Samsung NX1 Arrives in Stores Just in Time for the Holidays

Samsung’s new flagship model, the NX1, will be available in stores on Monday, November 24, just in time for the holidays. Announced at Photokina in September, the NX1 boasts a 28 megapixel BSI (backside illumination) APS-C sensor with 205 phase detection autofocus points capable of firing 15 frames per second. For more information on the camera, check out Jaron Schneider’s post on the Photokina announcement.

In addition to employing Samsung’s newest auto-focus system, the NX AF System III, video fans will rejoice at the ability to shoot 4k footage directly to a memory card thanks to Samsung employing the next generation HVEC codec, H265, which is capable of storing 4k video at almost half the size of it’s predecessor H264. And, of course, Samsung’s SMART technology allows you to share videos and images via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The NX1 will be available body only for $1499 USD, or bundled with the 16-50mm f/2-2.8 S ED OIS Lens, Vertical Grip, Extra Battery & External Charger for $2799 USD.

Also available will be a new lens from Samsung’s premium ’S’ series lens line, the 50-150mm/f2.8 S ED OIS, for $1599 USD.
