[Closed] Cameraist's - Samsung NX10 or Panasonic DMC - G2

The question is what do you want more from the camera. They are both good capable cameras but why those and not a GF1? or an EP2? or a Nikon D3100 or D3 for that matter.

V - don't really know, just popped into Jessops and had a quick shuffty at these two. Dont want anything too bulky, both of these looked pretty similar in spec and price - wanted a camera i could add a few lenses to over time.

Want a camera i may actually learn to use over a period of time, but point and shoot most of the time.

It's worth noting that, although you can't change the lens on a compact, the lens you get is actually somewhat more versatile than the ones on DSLRs. I'd need at least two lenses to replicate all the features of my compact.

Putting a normal zoom lens would make them as bulky as anything else DSR wise in my opinion.

Maybe you'd like to have a look at the NEX or GF1 but do keep in mind that the moment you move away from the cool and useful but ultimately inflexible pancake lenses they just get bulky.

molgrips is right too, you need more than one lens to cover the range of your compact. Then again it all depends what kind of photography you do, landscapes might be easier to get a DSLR to do it for you.

Olympus Pen is smaller and lighter than a DSLR though, albeit the same awkward shape.

I don't have any particular type of photography in mind - just like to take photo's when i'm out and about.
Spent 3 1/2 hours over Cannock Chase yesterday watching big deer rutting, weekend before around the Lake District, always like to try and get photo's at British superbikes, Moto GP etc.
Like to try and get close ups of flowers, plants etc.

So i know i will need a few lenses - probably buy a two lens kit, then buy others as finances allow.
