I've been putting money aside for a couple of months now in order to buy myself a new camera. After researching many different brands and figuring out what I wanted from a camera, I finally decided on the Samsung NX1000 in white. Luckily, I picked it up in the sale in Currys for £250 - an absolute bargain at half price!
I think photography is a huge part of blogging and now that my blog audience is growing I thought it'd be the perfect time to invest in a new camera. I went for this particular model as it's small enough to be practical and carry around (and hopefully vlog with! eek!) but advanced enough to give me the quality photos that I'm after. I didn't think I was ready for a SLR just yet as I'm still getting to grips with the basics of photography but I think this camera just 'suits' me.
I'm still playing around with it as I promised myself that if I bought a new camera I would learn how to use it properly. If you know of any good websites or blog posts that help with 'beginners to photography' or 'basics of photography' or something along those lines please leave them below! I'd love to use it to it's full ability. Thanks for reading and watch out for even better quality photographs from now on! Don't forget to vote in the Cosmo Blog Awards - I'm in the 'Best New Beauty Blog' category!
We are camera twins!! Got mine last week and am in LOVE!! I need help with photography too to be honest, no idea where to start! Haha :)

DeleteOhh that looks amazing! I really want a new camera, mines so old! I might need to save up for one. Also it's so pretty xx
ReplyDeleteI've had my heart set on this one! xxx
DeleteThat camera looks awesome D: I use a big chunky dslr but that looks like a pretty handy one, one that'd take good photos but compact enough to carry around to parties and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteIt is! xxx

DeleteI love this camera! I was eyeing it up the other week but I couldn't cheat on my beloved Canon baby! Its so pretty! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazing! Ooooh jealous you have a Canon girl!! xxx
DeleteIt is a bargain!I think 500£ is a bit too much for a Samsung camera,when Canon 660D is around 400£.
ReplyDeletePost and update!
Certainly is! xxx
DeleteThat looks so cute. I can recommend an app called learn dslr. That's pretty much how I learned photography and it took about three days. But that is a nice camere
ReplyDeleteOooh thanks Nadia! xxx
Deletewhen I bought my new camera it was a toss up between this one and the one I got (Nikon 1). Looking forward to seeing the photo quality of it :)
