look alright saz it look like it got viewfinder on it also wait for kathy she will tell you better

Yeah good idea   

I think for the money it a good little bridge camera xx

Going by prices elsewhere it's certainly a bargain with plenty good reviews.

Thanks guys, bearing in mind I'm no expert it may be OK for me. The main things I want are a good zoom and the Wifi thing for uploading pics  

Looks a good lil camera but then again I know nothing about them   

Looks like a good little camera, this one doesn't have a viewfinder though, depends whats important for you - I always like my cameras to have one, it's just personal to me. Samsung are a good make I would always advize anyone thinking of buying a camera on line to go in a shop and just see how it feels to you, not all cameras suit everyone. I tried the Nikon and then a Canon and the Nikon felt better to me straightaway.

What viewfinder? Xx

i think it find the right shot    it warn if something not right but i'm not 100% sure

Remote Viewfinder lets you control your camera using a smartphone, perfect for framing yourself in shots. A great range picture and video filters also let you add special effects to your images.

^^ is this an different viewfinder or something else??

Not sure?

can you ge higher or is that your limit?

I can't even afford that but I can spread the cost interest free with very, that's the only reason I was considering it!

the only want i can find with viewfinder are £230 plus   we need kathy

what viewfinder is when you zoom in it will find the best picture for you xx

It's says it has smart auto technology, is that the same kind of thing?

i'm not sure i bet it be 1000x better your phone, what you want to do if there a currys near by go have view it like kathy said ask the bloke/woman a few questions about does it anto forus when you zoom in   then tell him/her you will think about it xx

Your camera is far more stable when you hold it up to your eye rather than just looking at the rear screen to compose your shot. Your image would be taken sharper/more in focus when using the viewfinder.

Your arms are in a more stable position when being held to your eye. You can see the image more clearly in the viewfinder than on the screen, taking into account the brightness of the sun glaring on the screen.

Thanks kathy, I'll have a think and see what price one's with view finder are. If I won't be able to afford one then I may as well get this onw now! xx

hmmm you can use your smartphone as a viewfinder for that samsung camera lol amazing what they can do http://www.samsung.com/us/support/howtoguide/N0000467/15700/201673

I have an iPhone would that do it?

A viewfinder is where you look into a small aperture (Window) at the back of the camera and the system used are either pentamirrors (modern DSLR's - Digitial Single Lens Reflex) or a pentaprism (usually older SLR cameras) . Basically, when you look through a viewfinder, you are looking through the lens. This is what the resulting picture will look like as you frame it. Cameras without viewfinders usually have a screen on the back that you use to frame your picture. The single biggest disadvantage with this is that when it's sunny, you sometimes cannot see anything (like trying to look at your smartphone screen in sunlight?). Cameras with a viewfinder have the big advantage that the sunlight will not detract from you framing a shot. I've had cameras for years, my current set up is a Nikon D5000, and multiple lenses. Expensive initially but pays for itself as it's so robust.

ooo right thank daz i understand it now

Saz, take a look at this camera.  More expensive, I know, but if you look at the back view, you will see it has both a screen and a viewfinder (at the top) where you look through to frame your shot.  Very versatile, I had an earlier version which got nicked whilst I was in Canada
