Selfie-Assisting Cameras

The Samsung NX Mini Camera is Perfect for Self Snaps

— March 21, 2014 — Tech
The Samsung NX Mini Camera is taking the selfie beyond the smartphone and easier than ever. You have taken a selfie before: admit it; most of us take them through our front-facing phone cameras. However, they are not the same quality as the pictures taken from the rear-facing camera. This latest Samsung product will fix that problem! The NX Mini camera, which is just as light as your smartphone, features a mirrorless LCD screen camera that can flip a full 180 degrees.

The flip allows you to take shameless pictures of yourself in full quality. You can then share your pictures through built-in connections to social media as well as Dropbox and Flickr.

Design-wise, the NX Mini camera is styled in faux leather that comes in white, black, brown, pink and mint green. The cost is $449 for a kit with a 9 mm lens and $549 with the 9-27 mm lens. The lenses are so thin that Samsung had to create an entirely new lens system to go with the camera. It also comes with Adobe Lightroom 5.
