This review is from: Samsung NV10 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom with Advance Shake ReductionI am frankly a little puzzed by others' comments about the image quality of this camera. I have shot digital exclusively since 1999 and this is by far the best point-and-shoot I have owned. I usually shoot with a Canon 5D or 1DS Mark II and this little NV10 holds up really well against these and certainly beats all the compact cameras I have owned (Canon, Casio, Sony, Contax). I have printed 16"x20" prints from the NV10 after almost no editing in Photoshop CS2. There is a little noise (I shoot the NV10 at ISO 100) and a minor application of Noise Ninja's filter removes any noticeable noise. It is possible that there are manufacturing irregularities that cause one camera to be different from another. If this is the case and yours seems very noisy, send it back and exchange it for another. I took this camera to India for a week and I couldn't pry it out of my wife's hands - she loved the size, responsiveness, image quality, exposure and ease of use.
This review is from: Samsung NV10 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom with Advance Shake ReductionI shoot with a Canon 1D Mark II and an assortment of lenses. Many times my gear sits at home because face it, who wants to carry camera gear that weighs more than a small country? Many times I wish I had a camera in my pocket. I played around with plenty and narrowed it down to this camera and the Canon S3 IS. The S3 was the winner in many areas except one - size. I wanted a camera that, when in its case, is still very portable. I want to toss it in my pocket with my keys and my comb and not have it look like I have a tumor.Yes the Nikon E200 is better. The lens is what does all the work. The D200 cannot be taken everywhere, this camera can!I leave it on AUTO and anytime I use the flash I underexpose by 0.7 and my world is fine. The flash is good for close distances, the battery lasts long enough for a day out, and the megapixel rating is simply wonderful.Good points:Metal body!Buttons on the back make selecting menus so very easy!Size, or lack thereof!Lens is covered when camera is off!Screen is pretty much scratch proof!Neutral points:Only a 3x zoom, but any bigger and it would not fit in my pocket.Battery lasts for about 200 shots, so take the charger with you.Extra power battery supposedly available, have not seen it.POWER button is lit and shutter button is not. Folks turn it off when shooting because they press the wrong button.Sounds are all corny.Bad points:When you record movies, the sound is missing for about 2 seconds on each end, so shoot extra and edit later.No power-on lock, you can accidentally power it up in your pocket.AF not so hot in the dark.Overall, if you want a camera small enough to ALWAYS have with you, this is it. If you can afford to have some bulk there are many other cameras to chose from.
This review is from: Samsung NV10 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom with Advance Shake ReductionI recently purchased this camera and have found it to perform very well. I have digital versions of my brothers wedding photographs that were taken on a digital SLR and the images that I've taken, in similar light conditions, with the NV10 are actually superior in quality. It is true that in low light conditions when you do not use a flash and shoot at high ISO speeds there is increased grain / noise in the image but that is true for most compact digital cameras. I'm of the opinion that if you shoot a lot of low light photographs you should use a tripod and shoot at low ISO's with this camera for excellent results. There are plenty of more technical reviews of this cameras performance on the web and I encourage you to seek them out. For a very compact camera, this one really has a lot of flexibility and the user interface is intuitive and a pleasure to use.
