Samsung's 10 megapixel NV10 reviewed

 

About three months ago we were graced with a wonderful preview of the new Samsung NV10, and today we came across a review of the digicam that we thought would be a $400 bundle of 10 megapixel joy. However, while we were initially blinded by the slick...

Samsung NV10 review

 

Samsung created the NV-series of digital cameras to fulfill its need for stylish, high-end shooters. They can be easily recognized by their sleek black designs, blue-ringed lenses, and, in every case but last year's NV3 , their unusual interface....

This digital camera has decent image quality, relatively quick performance, and full manual controls.

Smart Touch interface isn't for everyone; No aperture/shutter priority mode; fringing plagues photos.

If you can get past its unusual interface and sluggish performance, the Samsung NV10 is a nice digital snapshot camera with some great manual features.

Samsung NV10

 

A promising start for Samsung's new NV series of cameras.

Wonderful touch-sensitive interface. Good image quality. Stylish design. Very good video clips.

A bit pricey. Some extraneous or unnecessary features. High ISO displays too much noise. Slow boot-up.

Samsung NV10 DIGITAL CAMERA

 

For the price of the Samsung NV10 ($350 as of 10/6/06), you could get a lot more for your money. This compact point-and-shoot, though attractive, doesn't offer a lot of features beyond its 10.1-megapixel resolution. Its zoom is a typical 3X, its...

Touch-sensitive navigation buttons ; Antishake mode on control dial

Low battery life; lacks manual controls ; Menu navigation can be cumbersome

This camera has touch-sensitive buttons and antishake, but it lacks many manual controls, and menu navigation is cumbersome.

Samsung NV10 Review

 

Back in July Korean giant Samsung announced a new series of cameras, the NV (New Vision) range that finally, firmly put the 'cheap n cheerful' plastic camera image behind them with three new all-black, all-metal models packed with features and...

Very good resolution and decent sharpness (though see below) Very detailed results at ISO 100-200 (fairly low noise reduction) Bright, punchy results out of camera; perhaps too punchy for many... Slim all-metal body Superb build and finish, very...

Contrast and Saturation way too high - no way to change them in-camera Some fall-off in sharpness at edges / corners Shutter lag and focus not as fast as best competitors (not bad though) Strong visible chroma noise at ISO 400+ (very mild noise visible...

Samsung is rapidly catching up with its Japanese rivals and is finally starting to make its mark on the digital camera market with a combination of aggressive pricing, appealing styling and a dash of genuine innovation (such as the NV10's smart touch...

Test: Samsung NV10

 

The 3x Schneider-Kreuznach zoom (35-105mm equivalent) on the 10.1-megapixel Samsung NV10 (street $290) bulges out from the black aluminum body, as if to say "this isn't your typical point-and-shoot." Turn the camera around and you'll see something...

Samsung NV10 Review and Prices

 

Samsung has definitely achieved one thing with its NV10 ultra-compact digital camera model: The look of the NV10 is very different from other models in this class and price range.

High resolution, unique look, unique menu structure, high-quality LCD, high-quality construction, easy to hold for ultra-compact model

Image quality is inconsistent, low-light photos tend to be noisy, some aspects of camera might be tough to learn to use, most camera features are only average, anti-shake doesn't work as well as it should

Samsung NV10 Digital Camera

 

Just recently I was thinking about how far digital cameras have come in the past few years. I have been playing with digital cameras since the late '90s and it is sometimes hard to believe how different today's models are from my old Sony Mavica. A lot...
