REVIEWS / POINT AND SHOOT / SAMSUNG

Samsung NV10

I particularly liked the night scene mode. As you can see from the image below, the NV10 kept a good balance of slow shutter speed and a slightly high ISO. This way you get a clear night shot with minimal noise, with the only catch that you have to keep the camera on a still surface for a few seconds when taking the picture.

Macros turned out pretty good, and the NV10 had no problem focusing on objects till up to an inch away, as you can see from the ultra macro of the Hulk figurine below.

Conclusion
Like I said, there's nothing worth complaining about in its functionality. The NV10's meant to please the average consumer and I'm very sure it will. The interface is great, the picture quality is nice, and it's got the extra bells and whistles to appeal to everyone. The only problem is its hefty price tag of Rs. 19,900 (street price).

So in the end it all comes down to performance vs. features. If you need a better performer in terms of image quality, speed and manual options, I'd suggest you take a look at the Casio Exilim series. But if it's fun features and a high 'cool' factor that you're looking for then look no further.
