Samsung is preparing for a big year and with CES 2014 almost upon us, it is surprising that they have prematurely unveiled a new line of digital cameras. The Samsung Galaxy NX30 and Galaxy Camera 2 have both been revealed, and we are going to take a look at their specs and features.

The Galaxy 2 runs off Android 4.3 and comes packed with a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a battery capacity of up to 2,000mAh. Other features include autofocus and autoexposure controls, 120fps slow-motion video and a lighter weight of 9.2 ounces.

The Samsung Galaxy NX30 on the other hand features a 20.3-megapixel sensor with a brand new mirrorless light-sensitive screen. The super AMOLED-based touchscreen can be either swiveled or tilted, with the latest model now containing a fresh autofocus system which can detect its subject in just 80ms. A new set of 16-50mm lenses are also launching separately beside the NX30, more details on these can be found here.

Both the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 and the Galaxy NX30 has a focus on a new sharing option called “Tag & Go”. This feature is NFC-based and works smartly with your mobile phone, you simply tap your handset against your camera to initiate the transfer of photos between the devices.
