bigm0ma Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Hi, I'm looking to get into photography and looking to purchase my first "semi-professional" camera/DSLR. I'm wanting one with smart technology integrated for easy access to social media etc. I know this isn't a DSLR but i'm thinking of getting this camera: http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/smart-camera-camcorder/smart-nx/smart-nx/EV-NX300ZBAVGB Could anyone tell me if this would be okay for my first camera/too experiment around with? I like the fact it's not too bulky like a DSLR Or could anyone recommend me any others? Thanks in advance -Big Edited January 23, 2015 by bigm0ma
Botre Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Get a Canon or a Nikon. The Canon T3i is a great entry-level machine.

Botre Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Don't do Canon T3I in the UK :c Or is thie Canon 600D? It is. The Canon 400D with a good lens kit wouldn't be bad either ^^
bigm0ma Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 It is. The Canon 400D with a good lens kit wouldn't be bad either ^^ But does the 600D have "smart" abilities?
Botre Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 But does the 600D have "smart" abilities? You shouldn't rely on a machine to be smart but learn to use it smartly instead.
bigm0ma Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 You shouldn't rely on a machine to be smart but learn to use it smartly instead. I'm talking about whether or not it has Wi-Fi integrated, hardly depending on the machine.
Botre Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I'm talking about whether or not it has Wi-Fi integrated, hardly depending on the machine. They don't have wifi support. If you're concerned about file storage -> get a couple of SD cards, they are cheap. If you want to access facebook/instagram remotely to upload your pictures -> buy a cheap phone that supports SD cards so you can swap your photos between camera and phone easily and upload photos via phone (wifi or 3g). Wifi on cameras is a pain in the ass battery-wise, navigation-wise and connectivity-wise. Not worth it tbh.
