The Samsung NX series comprised APS-C mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera models (excluding the Samsung NX mini, which features a 1-inch sensor) utilizing Samsung NX lens mounts, developed by Samsung Electronics and launched in 2010.
These cameras employ APS-C image sensors with a crop factor of 1.54×. Certain lenses incorporate optical image stabilization, identified by the "OIS" label. Autofocus functionality in NX lenses is powered by an integrated electric motor housed within the lens itself.

Samsung NX-mount
The lens mount features a diameter of 42mm and has a relatively long flange focal distance measuring 25.5 mm. For comparison, the flange distance of the 35 mm full-frame format Leica M mount is only marginally larger by 2 mm; however, despite this proximity, Leica M lenses cannot be adapted to Samsung NX cameras while maintaining infinity focus.
NX-mount lenses
By February 2015, Samsung had released a total of 15 lenses compatible with the NX mount.[1] Additionally, as of that date, at least one other manufacturer, Samyang Optics, produced lenses for the NX mount, although these lenses lack features such as autofocus and image stabilization.
Current status of NX series
Samsung has not issued any formal statementsTemplate:As of? regarding the ongoing status of the NX camera line. It is publicly known that Samsung has exited the camera market in all major regions.[2] This situation has led to widespread assumptions that Samsung has discontinued the NX series with no plans for future updates.
All technical and engineering efforts previously dedicated to the NX camera lineup have since been redirected to Samsung’s mobile camera division.
