This review is from: Samsung Digimax NV15 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Advanced Shake Reduction Optical ZoomSamsung NV 15 reviewNovember 2007Images:PROS-takes great images for the web. Automatically saves in sRGB jpeg mode. -Still can't get over how beautiful and functional it looks, everyone has admired it- awesome that it charges through USB port. Less wires. -macro features works pretty well if held completely still-special effects features are pretty fun to use and cuts out the "middle man" like photoshop-has a manual feature but can only chose from two different aperturesCON-At 100% view images looks very pixellated at 200 ISO and above.-flash seems pretty bright for indoors and at night in auto mode, images sometimes become blown out-even at 80 ISO there's noticeable noise and I wouldn't want to print from those images. Need to have really good light for less noticeable noise.Video:PROS-Can shoot up to 3 hours with a 4 GB SDHC card- can zoom during shooting but stops recording sound while in process of zooming-pause feature is wonderful and really convenient on the videoCONS-Lots of distracting flare in night videoSo FAR:Decent point and shoot for grabbing snippets of life . Coming from the Canon 20D SLR it's easy to be hard on the point and shoot. I wouldn't print from these images, but that's what the dSLR is for. Portable, easy to use and neato "vacationer's" features. The design is brilliant, because it is beautiful, unique and functional. Image quality is good but not great, even compared to my old canon point and shoots. The video feature is a definite plus and would be okay to use for visuals with sound overdubbed. Before buying any digital camera, it's best to know what you'll be using it for. If you're intending to do a lot of printing with it then this might not be the best camera. If you want to capture images to easily post on the web then this is a great camera. If you want a camera that is small, portable, and absolutely beautiful, then the nv15 is a good choice and great value for the money.
This review is from: Samsung Digimax NV15 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Advanced Shake Reduction Optical ZoomI have had this camera for four days now, and I couldn't be happier. Got it for $160 - I looked and looked, but there just ISN'T a better deal. It looks great, fits into a pocket (but I use a small belt pouch), gets up and running very quickly, and takes great pictures! Before I bought it, I ran across several reviews claiming poor picture quality...including blurry photos. Believe me, it isn't the camera's fault. The Schneider Kreutznach lens was one of the features that helped to sell me on this camera...nice.The 640x480 video at 30 fps is better than I'd expected, now I may just put off getting a DV camera a bit longer.The very clever user interface is incredibly easy to use, the stainless steel body is beautiful, and how can you go wrong with SS, anyway? Even as solid as this thing is, it is very light (151.7 g w/o battery or memory card)....and it feels VERY solid.
This review is from: Samsung Digimax NV15 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Advanced Shake Reduction Optical ZoomSamsung NV15 has so many great features with few adjustable problems.Pros- Metal body construction- Manual control features (Full shutter speed control and somewhat limited F stop control)- Innovative interfaces - Classic outlook- Battery charge with USB cable- Portability (Fits well in a pocket)Cons- Image quality- Shutter button* The image quality of NV15 is below average in the same class. The pictures come noisy and blurry even at ISO 100 under low light. Actually, 10MB pixels for a small sensor (1/2.5") are pointless, and the large pixel capacity only diminishes image quality. However, it can be fixed. When the picture size was adjusted to 5MB, all problems were gone. The pictures were clear and sharp with minor to negligible noises. (This problem is also applied to the majority of other point & shoot cameras. The current competitons over pixel capacity are not the right direction. 5MB pixels are completely enough for small prints of 4*6 or 5*7.) * The shutter button should have been more responsive. Hard buttons cause image shaking. Users' care can compensate it, though.
