The black Samsung NX2000 Mirrorless Digital Camera is a compact interchangeable-lens camera that features a 20.3 megapixel APS-C-sized sensor and DRIMe IV image processor to produce high resolution still imagery and full HD 1080p video at 30 fps. The sensor and processor combination also provide high sensitivity up to ISO 25600, fast full-resolution continuous shooting at 8 fps, and supports the creation of one-lens 3D image production when using the optional 45mm f/1.8 2D/3D lens. The included 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 ED II lens is a versatile wide-angle to portrait-length zoom lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 30.8-77mm and supports iFunction control for efficient adjustment of many of the camera's manual settings.

For live view monitoring, image playback, and menu navigation, a large 3.7" 1,152k-dot touchscreen LCD monitor is incorporated into the design to provide efficient, intuitive control and bright, clear viewing. The touchscreen interface can be used to control a host of camera settings, such as SMART modes for employing up to 14 different scene modes to refine the look of your imagery. Also integrated into the NX2000's design is enhanced wireless connectivity as part of Samsung's SMART CAMERA 2.0 technology. These extensive wireless capabilities enable direct, instant sharing of imagery to iOS and Android mobile devices for sharing online as well as backing up files directly to a home computer or displaying on a wireless-enabled HDTV.

In addition to the NX2000 camera, 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 ED II lens, and SEF-8A flash, a copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 is also included for post-processing and file organization.
