A few weeks ago, Samsung proposed me for an athlete weekend at the UCPA, to test the DV300F camera. It has a lot of funny modes, but I will be focused on two specific features I particularly liked, and could really serve you during a journey.

A connected camera:

For some time now, I use less my SLR camera during my trips because I love sharing my pics instantly, like slices of life. Having my SLR constrains me to have a computer, to transfer my pics and finally have the possibility to share them. So I do not do it, let hang out, and then, I forget.

The DV300F connects to wifi to send photos via email, Facebook, Youtube, Picasa, or Photobucket. So it’s really pratical, no computer required, just a wifi connection!

Moreover, there is also the « MobileLink » to send your pictures directly to an iPhone or Android without wifi (the device creates a wireless network which connects it to the phone), then you just have to tweet it or use other network, with 3G directly through the phone. A great feature to post pics with an higher quality than my iPhone 4S ones!

A screen at the front of the camera:

Every time I take pictures on vacation, I never appears on it! Or I’m forced to use my iPhone.

With the screen at the front of the camera, I’ve got a total control of my duckfaces and myspace angle!

Moreover, we can use a smartphone as an external display to take pictures, with the Remote application.

Otherwise, UCPA is super nice!

During a horseback ride, even it was not foreseen in the trek, I had a small nice gallop.

Introduction to golf. This is how we do it?
