Hey Carl. Welcome, and nice shot!

Yep, I think you're right - I'm still half-expecting it to be faulty somehow... so far, so good though. Amazingly, it was on a "buy it now" auction and I clicked that button pretty quickly! It was sent by Special Delivery, too - I paid for it on Tuesday evening and it was delivered this...

A couple of days ago I tried out the NX300 in sunlight, and not really bright sunlight either, and was quite disappointed with just how difficult it was to see anything on the screen. This was exacerbated by the tiny adjustment menus for changing shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation...

Hey DeadpanDodo. I started off with the NX11 - sent it back to Argos, I think, as I didn't like the screen or viewfinder so much. I ended up with the NX100 and 20-50mm combo. How things have moved on! I'm with you on the NX300 - it is "right", somehow... especially the brown version. The...

I considered not resurrecting this thread, but finally decided I would update things. The lack of secondhand Samsung lenses available here - Ebay seems to be the only place they're available, which can lead to associated problems - and my desire for a viewfinder had me purchasing an Olympus...

After starting this thread and reading through the replies I went out into my garden yesterday and took a few snaps using the NX300 and 45mm f1.8 lens. The lack of a viewfinder was immediately problematic and I realized that for many enthusiastic photographers this alone may very well be a...

I recently bought a secondhand Samsung NX2000 (£112.00) to go along with an older NX100, 20-50mm f3.5-5.6 and 30mm f2 lenses already owned. Being more than happy with image quality the NX2000 is, nevertheless, almost entirely menu driven from the 3.7in. touchscreen and this encouraged me to buy...

Wow! Like my uncle is so fond of saying, "Everything's relative, even your relatives!" My name is Mark and I have a problem... Hey Donna. Having played with the Samsung NX2000 I'm sure you will be more than happy with that Fuji! Thanks for passing that problem on, Donna - now I've got to...

XA2inmypocket's suggestion really hit home with me - got me thinking about photography and what I want to do with this hobby. I bought the Samsung NX300 off a guy on Ebay, but after a somewhat less than accurate description, the camera is on its way back to the seller. I used to own a Fuji S5...

I apologize in advance if nobody else can identify with my "saga". I've been a member here at Talk Photography for some time now, but having lost interest in photography some time ago I've posted infrequently. Recently, I've found that I've got my mojo back, bought a Nikon 35mm and started...

Thanks.

Hey Tom. :) Ooh, I like this thread! Personally speaking, it would make no difference to me that the item you had paid for had cost a few pence or many hundreds of pounds - given what you've explained here I would be dissatisfied with both the item and the service received. It seems...

I am of the opinion that if the item, including packaging, received were to deviate from the expected norm in such a way that it would detrimentally affect resale value then I would not pay "new" price for the item... unless it was a low value item and I didn't care about resale or the fact that...

Thanks for your good wishes. Quite why you would think I need to find a supplier/retailer with 100% customer feedback is beyond me though. I have merely responded to the OP's post and based my future purchasing decisions on all of the information herein. This thread was started by a...

Indeed? And yet people buy £1000.00 lenses by mail order every day of the week. You are quoting me in error in your second point. :) Incorrect. :) Again, I am unsure what your response has to do with the quote to which you refer. It would appear that your sympathies lie with the...
