Samsung NV15 Review

One of three mildly updated additions to Samsung's premium NV series, the sleek NV15 is a super-compact offering a features set that moves well beyond point-and-shoot expectations. Factor in a street price around $250 and the NV15 looks like a clear...

Great high-end styling and super-solid construction, Enough features to keep most people happy for a long time, Warm, vibrant image color, The Smart Touch interface (if you love it)

Some serious image quality concerns, Limited battery life and an awkward charging arrangement, Dodgy auto-focus system, The Smart Touch interface (if you hate it)

The NV8 and NV15 may look the same, but there is one important difference.

Samsung NV15

Just like its predecessor, the NV15 is slim enough (97 x 60 x 19 mm) to fit into any pocket with ease. It's a bit on the heavier side because of its all-metal body, but that's not really worth your concern.

Overall the NV15 makes a great family/vacation camera at Rs 17,990 (street price with bill and warranty). Its small, easy to use, packed with fun features, and gives great results. So long as you don't expect any manual functionality, you'll be more...

Samsung NV15

The Samsung NV15 is one well-designed camera. With its 'smart touch' user interface, its touch-sensitive buttons make using the camera wonderfully simple, intuitive and tactile. A wealth of features are included to make your photos appear vibrant and...

Fun, intuitive interface ; Sleek looks ; Plenty of features

Interface has a slight learning curve ; Poor high ISO performance

Users unwilling to skate the learning curve required by the NV15's unusual interface will probably be happier with a more conventional camera, such as the Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1080. Another feature-rich alternative with an intuitive interface is the...

Samsung NV15

The latest good-looking member of the family is the NV15 – a retro cool camera equipped with the NV series' trademark Smart buttons

A very capable camera with an innovative interface, but it's not going to be everybody's cup of tea

pleasantly surprised

camera is great, for everyday use anyway, I took some pictures around the house and was blown away by the quality, resolution and light, everyone looking for simple to use camera should try this one, menus are great and easy to use even with my chubby...

price, ease of use, quality

just one so far, even in a somewhat hard case when I press hard enough one of the buttons activates the image view mode, meaning the power doesn't have to be turned on for the camera to start in image view mode, since the button isn't recessed I can...

Love it!

I just bought this camera about 1 week ago (on sale for $165) and I am thoroughly impressed. It has a complete Auto mode where you don't have to configure anything and it takes good shots. It also has a complete Manual mode for those who want to be...

Great price for 10.1 megapixels, great quality pictures, sturdy build, many manual features

Must plug in camera to charge (cannot charge battery separately). Somewhat heavy
