Template:Infobox camera The Samsung NX30 is a mirrorless camera designed in a DSLR-style, introduced as part of Samsung's NX lineup on January 2, 2014. It serves as the follow-up model to the Samsung NX20.
While resembling the Samsung NX20 in appearance, the NX30 incorporates several advancements, including a rapid hybrid autofocus system that Samsung states can lock focus on subjects within just 80 milliseconds. Notable upgrades include a significantly enhanced processor that boosts responsiveness and operational speed, a larger body engineered for improved ergonomics, superior video recording capabilities supporting Full HD at 60 frames per second with an upgraded codec, strengthened Wi-Fi features, a touch-sensitive articulating screen, and a sizable, fast electronic viewfinder with an innovative tilting design.
Although it employs a sensor nearly identical to its predecessor’s, the NX30 offers an expanded ISO range. Despite the sensor lagging slightly behind contemporary rivals in low-light sensitivity, it still produces highly detailed images when paired with Samsung lenses. This model marked an essential enhancement over the somewhat underwhelming NX20, featuring only minor drawbacks and eventually benefiting from a significant price reduction.
