One Week With the NX Mini

For those of you who don’t already know, I (Elizabeth) have been working as a fashion marketing coordinator at Indonesia’s largest retail company. For reasons I won’t get into right now, I made the difficult decision to resign from my position and last Friday was my official last day (Shocker! Insert sad face here). As I prepared to close one chapter of my life and move on to another, I thought, what better way to document these last profound moments at the office than with the NX Mini?

The NX Mini is the newest addition to the Samsung family, a camera so stylishly convenient for the selfie-obsessed. And although I wouldn’t normally call myself one, I most definitely selfied up a storm during my last two days at the office (please don’t judge me)!  

This camera has so many features I almost don’t know where to start. It comes with built-in-WIFI where you can directly transfer the photos to smartphones via the Samsung Smart Camera app. It has a “Beauty Face” feature turned on by default (all you Camera 360 users definitely know what I’m talking about). It’s also ultra slim and has outstanding optics. But the most unique feature has to be its 3-inch touch screens that FLIPS 180 degrees making it the ultimate selfie machine. On top of that, it has THREE ways to activate the selfie: Normal mode (press shutter and wait for a 3-second timer to countdown), Smile Shot (make a big, cheesy smile and shutter will run off automatically), and Wink Shot (wink and a 3-second timer will go off). How cool is that?

As you can see from the photos below, I was determined to take selfies with all my amazing colleagues before I conducted my last hurrah.  All laughs aside, it was an emotional day filled with overwhelming sadness, because whether or not we like to admit it, no one likes goodbyes. If you look past the smiles, you can see a slight twinge of heartbreak in my eyes. With that said, I’m glad the NX Mini was there to help me capture those very moments I’ll never forget.
