bigm0ma Posted January 23, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botre Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Get a Canon or a Nikon. The Canon T3i is a great entry-level machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigm0ma Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botre Posted January 24, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigm0ma Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botre Posted January 24, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
