Remember how I told you we would wrap up the Spark Your Summer with a few fun giveaways? Well, today’s the day and I think you are going to LOVE what I have to share! 
I hope you enjoyed all of the awesome guest posts over the last 7 weeks. In case you missed any of them, you can find them all here on the Spark Your Summer page. Today, there will be 3 posts to send Spark Your Summer off with a BANG! 2 fabulous giveaways this morning, then tonight, you can come back and link up any of your summer posts for a Spark Your Summer edition of I’m Lovin’ It linky party! It will be a whole lot of summer in one place! (EDITED to say giveaway 2 is now live! go enter to win one of 2 POWERSOUND II personalized speakers!) So let’s get this party started! Who wants a new GORGEOUS camera?! keep reading………… (and don’t forget to check back a little later for another fun giveaway that will have you on your feet!) Taking pictures has always been something I’ve enjoyed! Even way before blogging, I was always the one with the camera taking all the pictures. I love that blogging has allowed me the opportunity to grow that passion, and learn more about photography……all at the same time that iphoneography has taken the world by storm. There’s a rare moment that we don’t have our phones on us to capture memories and moments. As cool and handy as my iphone is, it can’t do what my big girl camera can do (think zoom lenses especially). 
There are times I will carry both my big dslr with my 28-75mm lens around and still take pictures with my iphone…..you know, because I can’t miss an opportunity to Instagram what I’m doing in the moment 😉 But most of the time, I leave my big girl camera at home, hoping to get “good enough” shots with my iphone. Several weeks ago, my friends at Staples offered to send me a camera that is a game changer!! The Samsung NX300 20.3 MP SMART Microless Camera With 20-50 mm Lens – what makes this little gem so special? 
This camera has WiFi capability! You can upload pictures from the camera to your phone or even straight to Facebook and videos right to YouTube. No more juggling 2 cameras! ….tell me I’m not the only one who takes a picture with their big camera, then whips out their iphone so they can share a picture on Facebook or Instagram. And lets take it a step further…….. The Samsung NX300 comes with a 20-50 mm retractable zoom lens in the box, but there are many other lenses that you can get for this camera (I want to get the 18-200mm) , great for those of us who don’t want the bulk of a DSLR camera. What really makes the NX300 stand out is it’s size….. just 12 ounces, which makes it easy to just toss in my purse. Now I don’t have to choose between using my phone or the DSLR! My daughters and I went to San Diego and stayed on Coronado Island at Hotel Del a few weeks ago. I took my dslr, my iphone and the NX300 with me, guess which one I used the most?! Below are just a few of the photos we took on our trip with the Samsung NX300
The girls were SO excited to be in Southern California for the first time!……and their first time seeing the Pacific Ocean. 
Hotel Del Coronado was even more beautiful in person! we can’t wait to go back!
We headed over to Misson Beach to people watch on our last evening.
Mission Beach boardwalk.
We made a few friends at the San Diego Zoo!
The weather was just as gorgeous as all the animals.
All of the Koalas were napping. so cute!
We took a walk on Coronado Island one evening where you could see the San Diego skyline…….the Samsung NX300 did fabulous in the dark – this was shot with out a tripod. I’ll be honest, I’m in love with the gorgeous white leather, but it does come in black and brown as well I’ll be sharing a little more about our trip soon……but I couldn’t wait to share these photos with you AND give away a camera!! That’s right! This beautiful camera ($750) could be yours! How’s that for Spark Your Summer?!

Wow, what a great Giveaway! It looks like this camera takes such crisp, clean pictures! Having 2 children and 2 Etsy shops, taking good pictures is so important! What I love about this camera is it’s WiFi capability, super cool! Thank you for hosting this “flashy” giveaway! (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself, lol)
It is lightweight and has wifi . I would love it!!
The quality of the pictures it takes is great!
Wow I can’t believe how light this camera is! I’d be able to carry it around all day without straining my neck. Love it!
I love the white exterior, the wi-fi & that it’s a Samsung!
I like the weight of it
I like the fact that it is a Samsung (reliable brand) and takes good photos.
I love that this seems easy to use–a must for me.
I love that this camera has WiFi capability!
I love that this camera can be downloaded right from it to Facebook or youtube, no more a hazzle to download to computer and then to whatever I want. My camera is so old they quit making film for it, would love to have this camera. Thanks for the chance to win!!
Lightweight and Wi-Fi? Love that. Sounds perfect.
Love the WiFi capability!
I have a really a great DSLR Nikon with several interchangeable lenses that I love, but it’s heavy and bulky. I’d love this NX300 camera as a light weight, compact alternative for grabbing and sharing quick shots on the go.
The convenience! It has it all and appears reasonably compact. Really hoping to upgrade my camera by winning this state-of-the-art Samsung!
I like the size and lightweightness of the camera.
I just love the pictures it takes!! 🙂
It’s small
I love the fact that it has an actual lens cap, not those automatic ones. I also LOVE that is wifi capable and can upload immediately!
Love the wifi capability!
The clear and crisp pictures you took look soo clear/crisp/ and clolorful!
I like that the camera has editing software and wifi the most.
Very clear with excellent definition!
Easy to use WiFi capability!
I love that it is small enough to take anywhere but gives me pictures as good if not better than my big camera
The compact size is the first feature that I love about the Samsung NX300 Camera. It is much more fun to take spontaneous photos with a smaller, lightweight camera. Adding its adaptability, either to change lenses for different shots and the bonus of WiFi capability to immediately share, makes choosing this camera a no-brainer!
I love its size and its wifi capability!
the look of this camera is outstanding!
The Samsung NX300 looks rich, high tech, and good looking…
There are a lot of great features about the Samsung NX300 but I’d have to say my favorite are the 1/6000 sec shortest shutter speed and longest being 30 second. This is such a great feature to have, especially when you’re as obsessed with action and light shots as I am!
I also really love the WiFi feature, I’d take advantage of backing up my images every chance I got!
I love the wi fi capability! It also takes great pics!
I love that it has wi-fi capability, that is a very cool feature for a camera of this type.
Love that it’s easy to use and the pictures look amazing.
I like the sharp crisp looking pictures and the size.
I feel like it is super nerdy that I absolutely love that it is white! But I also love that it is small enough to carry around anywhere but does more than a typical point and shoot camera.
Such a cool look and what beautiful pictures!!!
Good quality photos and the color!! not very many white cameras out there, so that’s pretty cool.
What I like best about the nx300? It’s like the little red sports car of cameras…a lot of power in a small package!
Looks like it has a great lense!
I love the night shots that it can take. Your picture above is so clear and the quality is obvious. Night shots with my camera are a blur.
Great camera!
Love the WiFi…..
Definitely the WiFi.
I like that the quality is good even through it’s reasonably small and portable.
Love to win this camera One of my daughters and her family just moved out here to AZ would love to take some wonderful pics with this camera and be able to post on facebook to show our other daughters how great it is out here
this would be my Fav feature>>>•Advanced autofocus system brings crystal clarity to fast moving subjects, and a short shutter release lag helps capture the fleeting moment before the subject moves out of frame
It takes great pictures, day or night.
I love the color of the camera, the quality of the pictures looked awesome & maybe if I had this camera, just maybe, my grand kids would think I was cool!
Great pictures
WiFi
I love the style of this camera.
