REVIEWS / POINT AND SHOOT / SAMSUNG

Samsung NV15

07 Feb, 2008, 6:14 pm IST | Gagan Gupta | Point and Shoot

Just like its predecessor, the NV15 is slim enough (97 x 60 x 19 mm) to fit into any pocket with ease. It's a bit on the heavier side because of its all-metal body, but that's not really worth your concern.

It may be slim, but Samsung's worked a little handgrip into the design, which goes a long way in offering a good and comfortable grip.

The most attractive thing about the design is a touch-sensitive button array system that makes navigation a breeze. In case you didn't know, the buttons are located to the right at the bottom of the screen, and their function changes according to the indicators on the screen. It may feel a bit tricky at first, but after a minute you'll appreciate its simplicity over a regular camera navigation system.

The camera is built for the casual point-and-shoot audience. It does feature a half-baked manual mode, but the limited options and lack of manual focus make it a pointless feature. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing – the NV15 has a well-defined audience and the features cater perfectly to it.
