Samsung NV11

This odd-looking camera is one of the finest compacts to make it out of Korea. With ten megapixels and an excellent lens, there’s really very little to dislike

Samsung NV11 - digital camera

A well-built, high-resolution digicam with plenty of shooting modes for both stills and video clips.Slimmer and more elegant looking than the NV5 model, Samsung's new NV11 combines a slightly larger, 10.1-megapixel CCD image sensor with a Schneider-Kreuznach 5x optical zoom lens. It has the same 'Smart Touch' user interface as the NV5 model but a larger, 2.7-inch TFT LCD. Samsung's ISO-boosting ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) system, along with the face recognition technology that adjusts both AF and AE to deliver sharp, correctly exposed people shots.

The second new Samsung today is the NV11, a ten megapixel, five times optical zoom compact digital camera with a 2.7" LCD monitor, MPEG-4 video (VGA) and a highest sensitivity of ISO 1600. The NV11 also features Samsung's Face Recognition technology (this seasons favorite add-on feature). The NV11 is priced at $400 and should be on sale this Spring.

If you can live with the Samsung NV11's portability constraints, it's an excellent choice for an all-around camera that's fun to use and equally accommodating of beginners and advanced shutterbugs.

Having recently reviewed the i70 that had a superb User Guide this came as a huge shock to have one of the worst printed user manuals I have seen. Shame really as the <b>camera</b> and it%C2%92s abilities are superb should you ever get to know the <b>NV11</b>.
