Samsung NV4

A decidedly average compact camera

Multimedia capability, good colour balance

Lens could have been wider, small screen, confusing controls

The NV4 is a camera that is average at all tasks, whether it’s photography, video recording or multimedia playback. It’s stylish and simple, so if these factors are important then it could be the camera for you.

Samsung NV4 compact camera

Samsung's NV4 is a slim stylish camera that features a 3x optical zoom lens that does not protrude from the front of the camera keeping the svelte lines intact even when it's in use. The lens sits in the top right hand corner on the face of the camera...

Build and styling, simple controls, low ISO image quality, clever menus, multimedia functions

AF performance, shutter lag, excessive noise in ISO 400 and above images, slow performance overall

Samsung NV4

Part camera, part multimedia system, Doug Harman discovers the NV4 provides gizmos galore besides those for talking pictures

The NV4 is a bit of a mishmash, providing an average performance in a stylish multimedia package, where problems around excessive image noise are a concern
