Well Hi there !!!

I am semi new, been lurking around and learning about the tricks and tips about cams.

Short intro I owned some crappy point and shoots, then stepped up to a NEX-5, with which i learned entry level picture taking and video. But due to priorities I had to let it go ...

On our last trip. My girl managed to pick me a SAMSUNG WB2000 Yes its old but I am loving it. It was the cam I wanted before I got the NEX-5 ... given its not as good as the NEX-5. But its not always the cam that makes awesome pics its how u take em ... to a point LOL

But its a nice point and shoot with a lot of manual options +Raw I am Enjoying it !!! Going to dissect its Firmware next Muahahahha

Now that i am back stable we can afford some extra luxuries

Looking for a decent Main Cam for taking entry level good images at fast shutter speeds and has great ability to shoot in bad lighting.

Also i need it to be able to do at least 720 at 60fps in video.

All that with the ability to change lenses.

I have looked at the NX1000 and it didn't appeal me much, and it felt cheap compared to the NEX-5. I heard alot of good on the NX20 but no one around here carries it for me to play with ... And then i saw the NX210 that was way out of my budget.

I like the NX200 best but again it is a bit pricey for me...

Are there any of the older cams that samsung makes that are advisable to get or go with another brand ??

Hi Germanese! I also had a WB2000 and was quite happy with it. But then I bought the SONY RX100 the very best pocket camera. Yes it is expensive but the IQ is fantastic and I use it as my unique travel companion.
