Samsung NX200

Samsung NX200

 

If you are looking for a decent standalone point-and-shoot camera for that occasional million dollar shot moment, the Samsung NX200 may be the prime candidate to suit your needs. When it comes to image capture, the integrated capabilities in your iPhone or whatever phone you are using are still unable to match that of a digital camera worth its salt, and although the NX200 does not come from a company who has strong historical roots in the industry, it certainly does follow the convention above.

Now, to get down to the technology offered, the Samsung NX200 offers DSLR imaging quality in a far less bulky form factor. The reason why it is able to do that is the 20.3 megapixel ALS-C CMOS sensor developed in house. If you have no idea what that means for you, in laymen terms; you will be getting exceptionally good quality pictures at a lower price point. For that occasional home video, you also have the capability of capturing video clips at a respectable 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30 frames per second. Not bad considering the fact that it is only a compact shooter you are purchasing.

Lastly, the well-made metallic body of the gadget also enables it to take more than its fair of share of punishing in case you are a, ahem, highly demanding user. No more worries about scratches on the camera’s body whenever you bring it outdoors or to any less than ideal environment.

Available: Amazon (Buy the NX10 now, NX200 available in December)

Price: $899 (estimate)

Samsung’s One-stop Power-up Station

 

If you are one of those who devoted their life to the thrills of catching planes and hopping from country to country, you are sure to understand the frustration of carrying a bundle of the most up-to-date mobile devices with no battery life. Being one the largest provider for mobile devices, Samsung understand your frustration.

Samsung is showing the world how serious they are about ensuring their customers to stay connected with their newly designed charging station. The new lifesaver will first show up at Ronald Regan Washington National Airport.The One-stop Power-up Station will house six electrical 120 volts outlets (U.S voltage), a couple of USB charging outlets and four micro USB mobile phone charging plugs. 20 of these sleekly designed stations will be installed throughout the terminals of Ronald Regan Washington National Airport. It is also equipped with a touchscreen monitor that offers news updates, weather reports corresponding to your destination, games (that’s what I want to hear), flight status (in case the airport’s flight status screen goes black), and a “What’s New” tab where you can check out the latest innovations by Samsung.

Although Ronald Regan Washington National Airport users were the first to experience this new excitement, never ever think that Samsung would neglect their consumers from other regions. Over 500 charging stations have been installed at various locations that include a dozen of major airports, major colleges, the Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN, and The Las Vegas Convention Center. Now that’s one cool way to show their love to customers.
