Samsung NX11 with i-Function Lens Specs, newest addition to the NX family

Samsung NX11 is the newest addition to the NX family, it will come standard with an 18-55mm i-Function lens as well as two more i-Function lenses, the 20mm pancake and a 20-50mm zoom silver color lens. And what’s all this fabulous new big fat camera goodness cost? Right around $649 (with bundle zoom lens.)

And what is this wild new thing called i-Function? 

The i-Function lens is a brand new easy way to control your camera. Right now you’ve got to wrap your hand around the lens while you hold the camera – since this hand is already being used to adjust settings, the i-Function system adds a button built-in to the i-Function lens, allowing the user to adjust their settings without taking their camera off-target. Should be fun to see how that works out. The i-Function button activates shooting controls such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance.

The camera features a simple to use panorama mode, has the best-in-class APS-C sensor – larger than Micro 4/3, this sensor creates fabulous images with total simplicity (plus allows videos to be recorded with a shallow depth of field for sweet results.) Built-in flash and electronic VGA (640×480) viewfinder, 3.0″ AMOLED LCD screen, reduced glare, enhanced color reproduction, 720p HD recording, and a whole lot more.
