Samsung is known for incorporating new technology into their cameras and they have just introduced three new cameras into the company’s NX Series of compact, mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras – the NX1000, NX20 and NX210. Unlike other large sensor cameras which might require you to use an Eye-Fi memory card for getting online, the new NX models are coming with built-in Wi-Fi.

Coming equipped with Samsung’s own 20.3 megapixel APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm) CMOS sensor, all the models feature ISO100 – 12800 sensitivity, one button upload to social networking sites, in-camera editing, 2D and 3D Panorama modes, the i-Function system which will allow you to control parameters at the lens, and are compatible with the full range of nine lenses.

The cameras will wirelessly link to a Samsung smartphone via the SMART technology and you can use the handset as a remote viewfinder, and the Samsung Mobile Link will allow you to enjoy the shots you have taken on internet enabled TVs or tablets. The models also feature Full HD 1080p H.264 video recording, and also offer an unusual 1920 x 810 pixel resolution setting.

Among the three new cameras, the above pictured NX1000 has the best resolution display at 921,000 dots on a 3-inch TFT LCD panel. Its 1030mAh battery promises 320 shots between charges and it will be available in black, white or pink in June, but no hints on the price tag. And no built-in flash, but you can attach external lighting.

The NX20 has a DSLR-like body and features an SVGA-resolution electronic viewfinder and a 3-inch, 614,000 dot AMOLED swivel display. It also comes with a fast 1/8000 shutter speed, a pop-up flash, and will allow you to take 360 stills between charges all thanks to its 1300mAh rechargeable battery. If interested, you can pick one up next month for $1,099.99.

The NX210 is also coming next month and it will take the place of the NX200. Featuring the same AMOLED display as the NX 20, the NX210 is coming with 8 fps continuous shooting. No built-in flash for this one as well, but external units can be attached. Similar to the NX1000, the NX210 has a 1030mAh battery for taking 320 stills in between charges. The camera comes with a price tag of $899.99.

So, which one has caught your eye?

I remember when I first saw the GoPro camera hit the Consumer Electronics Show; it doesn’t look all that impressive, but has terrific potential within the extreme sports scene. And it does. Its become popular among that crowd, and adding another dimension to the experience could only make things better. The GoPro 3D Hero does exactly that.

Recently featured on Fox News, the GoPro 3D Hero effectively combines two of the GoPro cameras together. After shooting your clips with the contraption attached to your surfboard, helmet, or wherever else you strap it to, you can synchronize the two sets of videos together to produce a 3D full HD video. The kicker? At the end of the day you’ve only spent about $450, who else shooting HD 3D can claim that?

It might sound like a sizable chunk for what looks like a couple of webcams in waterproof cases, but that’s not terrible for a rugged 3D HD experience. Also consider that the not-so-rugged Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W3 camera (720p) lists for $600 (sells for $350-$400). Buying two GoPro cams will set you back $360 and the 3D expansion kit is an extra $90.

I can’t imagine Glenn Beck or “Papa Bear” Bill O’Reilly making terrific use of this product, but all the adrenaline junkies out there could have a lot of fun tearing up the slopes, catching big waves, and carving through skateboard parks in 3-D.

The GoPro 3D HERO Expansion Kit is “Coming Soon” expected to be released early 2011.

Update: The 3D setup consists of dual GoPro HD 1080p cameras which retails for $260 each, plus 3D expansion kit, bringing you in at roughly $610. But that includes some heavy duty mounts.

You know how you get to enjoy fantastic 1080p action with your Blu-ray player and your 48-inch high-definition television? Well, you just may be able to do the same thing on this 4.8-inch display. Yes, about the same size as the Dell Streak.

The screen comes by way of ORTUS, a joint venture between Casio and Toppan Printing. The Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT (HAST) screen rocks an impressive 1920 x 1080 resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 458ppi. To put that into perspective, the Retina Display on the iPhone 4 has a pixel density of 326ppi. The HTC Droid Incredible? Just 252ppi.

If you didn’t know any better, you’d think that they took a giant HDTV and shrunk it down to handheld proportions. In addition to the full HD resolution, the ORTUS screen rocks 16.8 million colors and 160-degree viewing angles. I can’t imagine it being all that cheap, though, so I wouldn’t expect to find it in an iPhone 5 or a Droid OMG any time soon.

It may not show up on a phone and they say that it’ll likely be used for security monitoring, but I think it’d be great for mobile TV or even Streak-sized tablet devices. That’s a heck of a lot better than the lowly QVGA resolution screen on my Nokia E71, that’s for sure.
