Samsung NV3 (black) review

By Will Greenwald (cnet.com)

Solid images ; handy media-player functions

Heavy fringing ; awkward movie format in media-player mode ; unresponsive zoom rocker

This camera-cum-media player doesn't excel at any of its functions, but the Samsung NV3 could be a solid choice if you don't want to buy both a camera and an MP3 player.

Samsung tries to change that with the NV3, a 7-megapixel snapshot camera with...

Samsung NV3

By Jeff Keller (dcresource.com)

The Samsung NV3 ($350) is one of three new models in the Korean mega-company's new "NV" series of digital cameras. The NV3 is the ultra-compact of the bunch, offering a stylish metal body, a 7 Megapixel CCD, a 3X zoom lens, and a 2.5" LCD display. The ...

Very good photo quality (though see issues below) ; Compact, very stylish and well built body ; Large, high resolution 2.5" LCD display (though see issues below) ; Can play movies, MP3s, and text files too ; AF-assist lamp, decent low light focusing ; ...

Details a bit muddy ; color saturation drops at high ISOs ; occasional overexposure ; Redeye a big problem ; removal tool does not help ; LCD outdoor visibility isn't the greatest ; No optical viewfinder ; Using ASR (advanced shake reduction) feature ...

Like all ultra-compact cameras, the NV3's batteries are expensive ($40), and you can't use an off-the-shelf battery when it runs out of juice. Since the NV3's battery life isn't the greatest, it's probably a good idea to buy a spare

"Not worth it"

Clear pictures in daylight

Terrible quality in low light or inside. Shots come out blurry and flash picks up tons of dust particles leaving "white orbs" ruining about 50% of any photos taken indoor with a flash. Speakers often confused for shutter release button.

"Poor quality camera. Product warranty sucks!!!! Beware"

By rogo126 (cnet.com)

I will never spend a single penny on a Samsun... 

Good pictures if you can afford to buy a new camera every 10 months.

The camera ceased to work after 10 months of normal use. Called samsung to report the problem and was ordered to send it back for repair. The camera was returned unrepaired with explanation telling me that product has corrosion. Warranty does cover.

Manufacturer's Description

Don't be fooled by its compact size. The NV3 features seven different and dynamic ways to entertain your senses, whatever your mood.

The NV3 is a convergence device, functioning as a high-resolution 7.2 mega-pixel digital camera.
