New toy to play with: Samsung SMART CAMERA NX1000

Hey everyone!

The camera came in today and guess what...its pink ≧◡≦

I can't really do a review on this since i'm not very tech savvy with cameras but I can say that this is super cute!

I've been looking for a camera for some time since all i've been using these days is a simple canon ixus 100IS. It's great and all but I think it's about time to upgrade! The camera I bought was the Samsumg nx1000; It came out some time in mid 2012.

This is probably the first time i've seen a camera like this, it has an external flash and is super cute. 

I suppose it's rival is the Sony nex 7 but since i'm not too keep to spend too much I bought this one >>" 

The first time I saw this camera was funny enough in a korean drama "I miss you". In the drama, it was shown in both pink and white. What mostly caught my eye was that it you can upload photos via wifi. 

Well I bought this online since the place I live only has it in white and black. I think the pink one can only be bought overseas but i'm not too sure about it. 

So what comes in the box?

♡Camera (including the bodycap and Hot-shoe cap)

♡USB cable

♡Battery crable/AC power cable

♡User manual

♡External flash

♡Rechargable battery

♡Software cd-rom

♡Strap

♡20-50mm + 16mm twin lens kit

Additional items to buy:

I love how it's a nice pastel pink as the clothes I usually wear are now light colours. The camera itself looks like a toy which is what I like about it although some may consider that as a negative thing. I like how it also has an external flash at the top as it makes the camera look more unique.Haha I must be strange.
