Samsung NV40

Samsung NV40

The Samsung NV40, the new headline model in Samsung's now extensive range of New Vision

Excellent prduct

I've wanted this camera for ages but everywhere i looked the price was too high, I cant believe I got it for less than £100 for such a quality product. This is one of the best cameras out there at the moment and would recommend it to anyone.
