Winner of Advanced Compact System Camera of the Year – Samsung NX10 and Winner of Entry Compact System Camera of the Year – Samsung NX100

I am very proud of NX10 and NX100. Using NX10 was the best way for me to feel the difference among many other cameras. Both are Samsung’s mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. Especially, NX10 gave me strong first impression when I saw the reviews of NX10. NX10’s mirrorless interchangeable lens is giving me many different experiences that I am not able to experience by using other cameras. What ever objects I take, photos and videos are always made in high resolution and easy to adjust the setting by just turning focus lens. So I never lose any shots. Except that, compact body, high resolution, and rapid AF sensor delivered me high satisfaction and fulfilled my needs.

In addition, AP praised the NX series as the best value for money. ‘It’s easy to use and has a nice grip and excellent image quality compare with other competitor’s products.’

Meanwhile, Samsung EX1 has been nominated for ‘Enthusiast Compact Camera’, and the i-Function Lens has been nominated for ‘Technical Innovation’.

[Twitter] The H106 has found its master

A couple of weeks ago, we ran our very first Twitter, with great success. The raffle, which consisted two of our flagships, the Samsung H106 full-HD SSD camcorder, and the Samsung WB1000(TL320), was coupled with a lot participants, and it definitely felt great to give something back to the people, who’ve been following us on Twitter.

And finally, the raffled Samsung H106 camcorder has reached its new owner. @Digitalforge, who was the lucky one drawn, was so kind to provide us with a quote:



“Thank you Samsung Digital Imaging for the H106 HD camcorder. I won the Twitter raffle on my birthday and it was a great surprise. The camera is very easy to use and makes high quality video and stills. We will use it often to make family movies and videos of our kids’ sporting events. My son and I will also use it to make short films and videos for clients. Thanks again.”

Our second winner, who won the Samsung WB1000(TL320) digital camera, is expected to receive its new camera by end of this month.

If you wonder, if we’re planning to repeat those kind of events our answer is a definite “YES”! When? How and up to what extend? We can’t reveal anything specific yet but keep your eyes and ears open for our new products, which will hit the market this year!

Once again, we thank everyone on Twitter for their endless support!
