Hello! This camera is very hard to find. I recommend that you take a look at this mirrorless with similar or better features and at the same price: The OM-D E-M5 MARK II, I’m sure you’ll like it ;).
Even knowing something about photography, diving into the world of cameras when we are interested in buying one is exhausting to say the least. The last time I had to do it, it took me almost two months to decide. There are so many brands, models, comparisons, opinions and prices, that what one day you start with enthusiasm, sometimes ends up becoming a burden. That is why, through what we consider representative cameras in their sector, we intend to pave the way for you a bit towards the final decision 😉 Because, as you will see when you delve a little into your search, not everything is Canon or Nikon or SLR cameras . There is a wide and varied offer on the market in terms of brands, models, prices and features. If you have some patience you will find a camera that bears your name for sure. Let’s see if the Samsung NX30 is a strong candidate to become part of your life 😉

Strengths
The Samsung NX30 is a camera with a great picture quality in a body robust, comfortable and well built, aesthetically similar to that of a SLR and with the same features but without the weight and size that a camera with these characteristics would have in a mirror or DSLR format. The screen is folding and of great quality, as well as the viewfinder, the quick access controls through the dial or through the screen are useful, practical and intuitive. It also has a WIFI connection to directly share the images without having to go home 🙂 In short, a semi-professional camera at the height of demanding amateurs 🙂
Oh, and the opinions of users on Amazon leave it very well (4.4 out of 5), something that it is always advisable to keep in mind whatever camera you are interested in 😉
Weak points
What for some is not an inconvenience, for others it is an almost insurmountable obstacle. And by this I mean that the detractors of electronic viewfinder They are going to have moral dilemmas with this camera because, although it is electronic, all the critics speak wonders about it and, in addition, it is foldable, which opens up an unsuspected world of possibilities 😉
The price It can be a great barrier to get this camera if we do not have a large budget. Right now it is at 650 Euros on Amazon, but you can find it for almost 850. It is not surprising, since it is an almost professional camera (or without the almost 😉 ) The good thing is that if you have this money you will have a camera for a good season.
At the moment, there is not much variety of optics as you have with other brands, although that does not mean that there is not more than enough variety and high quality optics to add to this magnificent body.
