Thank you so much! Your comment was very helpful for me. I shall keep that in mind.

I originally have the NX1000, its small and compact. Unfortunately the system has gone abit.. let's say not so good, the dials keep changing it on it's own. But I still have the Lens that originally came with it, was just wondering if I could use it with the body of a different Samsung camera. I shall search for those other cameras that you recommended.

Many Thanks!

Unfortunately the NX300 he recommended does not have a screen that is easy to view while recording (though viewing on your phone is an option if you have a compatible phone). Some Samsung cameras compatible with your current lens that allow self viewing while recording without additional devices are the NX300M, the NX30, and the NX500.

The NX Mini was indeed marketed as a fashion/lifestyle vlogging camera, so I get why it was under consideration though other cameras are probably a bit more suitable for the task.

Is the NX1000 a good vlogging camera? At least NX300 is a good photo camera! But you are right, the rest are even better because of the selfie screens (or fully articulated), just the NX300 can be found half thr price (or 1/3) of the NX300M/NX30, and 1/5 of the price of NX500.

Maybe a NX3000 will be adequate then, selfie screen, better video codec than NX300, and very cheap. I have one just because its video is better than NX300, even though NX300 is a much better camera overal!
