Samsung Digimax NV11 10.1MP The new NV Series radiates individuality and style. The blue ring design concept aims to become a consistent mark for Samsung quality and design in digital cameras.
Together with a precision-crafted lens from Schneider Kreuznach, the NV11’s 1/1.8-inch CCD supports 10.1-megapixels to capture even the tiniest details, resulting in a picture quality of unmatched beauty. The 5x optical zoom — also supported in video mode — brings subjects that much closer, and a 2.7-inch LCD ensures a clear view during photography and playback. Samsung ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) stabilizes the image for blur-free images. Red-eye Fix delivers natural, flattering portrait shots when using built-in electronic-flash, and the improved ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) system reduces blur resulting from normal hand movement while High Sensitivity (up to ISO 1600) allows for terrific pictures in a variety of lighting conditions.
Equipped with a world-class feature set the NV11 consistently delivers exceptional image quality for the demanding semi-professional user. The NV11 has a Schneider lens incorporated into its sleek body design and features Samsung’s intuitive Smart Touch user interface which enables easy navigation of the camera’s comprehensive feature set by simply sliding a finger across its control buttons positioned around the 2.7″ high definition LCD.The 10 mega pixel, 5x optical zoom NV11 has 1600 ISO high-sensitivity support and features Samsung’s proprietary ASR image stabilization system which helps to capture the best possible images even in dimly lit conditions. The NV11 is also equipped with Samsung’s Face Recognition technology, which detects a subject’s face, and automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality in portraits, and other shots featuring people. The AF function instantaneously recognizes the faces of subjects and accurately focuses on them. The AE function then takes over, setting the appropriate exposure to ensure the highest image quality.Capturing moving pictures is made simple with the NV11, which is able to take 30 frames per second in TV quality MPEG-4 VGA format for crisper, richer images.
Helpful consumer’s review
oh, the camera rules and i recommend it for sure, but there’s little things that bug me about it.
1. the battery life is short.
i’m really unhappy with this considering i am using this camera for adventures/vacations. maybe the smart touch buttons drain all the battery, but i am deeply not satisfied it. my old camera, a Nikon Coolpix P2 has a better battery life which lasted me about midweek during vacation despite my mistake of not bringing its charger. the samsung’s battery can barely last a day and i’m quite disappointed in it and wish they had an extended battery.
2. the screen is a dust magnet.
but oh my, it’s so clear and the images are very close, if not entirely, to the exact color of whatever subject you are taking a picture of.
3. the camera strap is something to be desired. it scratches your skin. my manual’s camera strap is more comfortable than that.
4. no cloth to clean it?
for a camera this nice, i’d expect a cloth to come along with it. but if it really bugs you, like it mildly does for me, you can just go out and purchase your own. still, that’s kind of lame.
5. the usb link port or whatever you call it is on the bottom?
this seems to me a reoccuring thing since it’s in my friend’s Sony Cybershot DSC-100 as well. this annoys me because what if water was spilled on the floor and it got into my camera? that’d be terrible. i don’t think i’d ever be negligent enough to do that, but someone might. liquid spreads and could be spilled anywhere. i’m just looking out for the camera and my wallet, that’s all. CAMERA MANUFACTURERS PLEASE STOP PLACING THE USB LOCATION AT THE BOTTOM, IT’S NOT COOL.
