The NX3000 is an exceptionally good camera. And you got a brand new one for a very good price. The NX1000 was OK, in it's day, but you are much better off with the NX3000 and an NX kit lens.

Now.... unless you plan to start collecting NX cameras sell off the NX1000 and any Canon legacy lenses and adapters you have. Just get rid of the stuff.

You should have learned something from your NX1000 plus old Canon lens experience. A "newbie" shouldn't be searching for a real challenge, like using mismatched lenses and bodies, and be forced to shoot in manual modes.

All of that will come later, but right now you should be enjoying all the automation that your NX3000 will give you.

I really think you made a good decision with the NX3000. Now, be patient and wait for some nice NX lenses to come on the used market. Since the entire system has been discontinued, you might find some great lenses at very good prices in the future.

And some of those NX lenses are really wonderful.

Hi Marty and for your tip.

I am going to sell on the NX1000 body definitely. It is the best camera I've owned by a country mile but the NX 3000 has much better reviews. I am going to keep the lens because it's in seriously good condition and it hasn't cost me a lot. I've improved already today by just practising around the house with familiar objects. I will however be watching for NX lenses. It's always been an ambition of mine to take a really good photo of the moon so I want to get my eye in learn the hard way first. Also manual lenses are way cheaper haha.

It's alright, keep the adapter and the old lens you got, but first take a lot of pictures on AUTO, while you do that, read some articles, and/or the first chapters of the aforementioned manual (it explains very well the basic concepts and variables of photography).

In the film days, I was writing down everything, so when I was taking back the printed photos, to know what I had done right (or wrong), now all these information are in your digital phots (EXIF).

Thats a good idea. I dont think you really know how skilled people are until you try and do what they do. The guys using legacy lenses make it look easy when its anything but !
