Samsung NX Mini unboxing.

Our new vlogging camera arrived yesterday so I thought I would do a little unboxing blog post for you all.
We ordered the Samsung NX Mini due to budget constraints we had. I think we have great camera for our vlogging needs and we can not wait to start using it.
The Samsung NX Mini is available here from Amazon for just £188.88 Samsung NX Mini Camera - White (9mm Lens Kit, 20.5MP) 3 inch LCD

This camera comes in black, white, brown, pink or mint green.


On with the unboxing......

First up a simple picture of the box as it came.

You get all the usual manuals and quick start guides and you also get a full version of Adobe Lightroom 5 which is an amazing addition to this camera and great for editing photos and another reason for our purchase.

Here you can see everything came packaged well in the box.

On the right of the box was the usb wall charger, battery and wrist strap. One thing to note here is you can only charge the battery in camera but it looks like a phone battery so will be easy to pick up a second battery to have with you. Both the wall plug and the usb lead are of great quality.

Here you can see the lens that came with the camera. We opted for the 9mm lens as it will only be used for vlogging as we have another camera for photos so felt we did not need the zoom lens and the added bulk of that lens.

Here is the camera straight out the box. The white looks great in my opinion and this camera is small, really small.

Here is the top of the camera, you can see how slim this camera is, perfect to fit in your pocket.

On the right side of the camera is where that battery sits along with the micro usb charging point, mini hdmi port and the micro sd card slot. This is one thing to consider with this camera is it does not use the normal size sd cards rather micro sd you use in your phone.

Again you can see how slim this camera is even with the 9mm lens attached. 

Here you can see the back of the camera with a 3 inch touch screen with a 460,000 dot resolution. It has a dedicated video button right where your thumb rests which is perfect plus the navigation buttons below but everything can be done via the touch screen if needed.

Here is the final picture of the camera with the lens on and as you can see the screen flips up 180 degrees, perfect for vlogging and selfies. 

Hope you enjoyed the simple unboxing post. Leave a comment below with your thoughts on this camera or what camera you use to vlog with.

Getting excited for the new vlogging camera.

It is Friday woop woop!

Not long till we pick my son up which is amazing, going to be a good weekend. Lego and Top Trumps will be the order of the weekend and we are going out for a meal Saturday evening with some friends at the Subhouse in Wells.

Excited about the new vlogging camera that will be here when Franki gets home from work.

We decided on the Samsung NX Mini as it fits us perfectly. The only thing that lets it down in my opinion is the resolution of the screen. At 460,000 dots it is not great and coming from my Panasonic G6 i will certainly notice the difference but I feel that the other parts of the camera certainly make up for it including the fact the screen flips up 180 degrees, perfect for making sure you are in the frame.

We opted for the 9mm lens rather than the zoom lens they do as this will only be being used for vlogging rather than picture taking due to our other camera.

It is available here Samsung NX Mini Camera from Amazon for £188.88.

I am certainly tempted with the 17mm lens they do as the aperture is a lot lower than the 9mm one but the price is putting me off some what.

I will sign off now but we will be seeing you over the weekend.
