Advantages: Tough, bright screen, easy to record voice commentary Disadvantages: Unsurprisingly, poor flash
This is a super little camera which I have so far really enjoyed owning. the main difference from my Nikon Coolpix is the lack of a viewfinder but the screen is so much brighter I haven't found that an issue, even out of doors, also the screen seems pretty tough, it hasn't noticeably scratched in 3 months of use, mostly outdoors. At first I found the images a little harsh to the eye overall, I now think that may be just the higher resolution although ... ...be major compromises in that department. Pictures from the Nikon (4 MP compared to 7) now look soft as old boots, but they stil have a slightly more pleasing tonality overall, perhaps unsurprising from a lens about 4 times the area of the Samsung's.
The main reason I bought this camera is the internal focusing, there is no moving lens that slides in and out as it focuses. This means you can simply place the camera against a telescope eyepiece for ...

Advantages: Great pictures, User Friendly, Good Speakers, Many Options, Superb Screen, Good Video, Reliable Disadvantages: Perhaps not for the more hardcore user, needs extra investment for memory card
I have owned my Samsung NV3 for well over a year now, and it still manages to impress me every time I use it. As a camera, it is amazingly user friendly, packs a bunch of great features, is highly reliable, looks superb, and is extremely good value. Oh, and its not bad at taking pictues either.
In fact, the pictures are outstanding. The NV3 finds the perfect balance feature wise; it won't overwhelm, but has plenty of depth with regards to options. ... ...to your liking, but you can also take a pre-set option, which, thanks to the 'Scene' mode, there are many of, for every occasion. It is extremely easy to use, with simple menus to help you change eveything from megapixels to shutter speed to the flash, as well as add effects and even audio. The camera also has an anti shudder feature, which stops pictures from being wrecked by shaky hands. The NV3 also takes lighting into account, and tells you if ...

Advantages: nice looking, and good camera quality Disadvantages: may freeze at times
This camera was the first camera i ever brought and is an amazing camera to own so much so my friend brought exactly the same one.

Advantages: well built, excellent quality, perfect pictures Disadvantages: lacks a bit of proffessional functionality
This camera is very good in terms of a point and shoot camera, it wont appeal to the more proffesional of photographer as it doesnt quite have the functionality for that. I purchased this camera after researching for many months and decided it would suit me best. The picture quality is superb for everyday use aswell well as for skiing / mountain biking. The mp3/ portable media player functionality is a bonus and very well thought out. Build quality ... ...3 months now for sceneray shoots in france to fishing trips, it produces a wonderful picture everytime. I would definitely recommend this camera to any of my friends or family as i have used several different makes and model of camera in the past. My overall impression is that this is not just a camera because of the mp3 and portable media player functionality with a good battery life to boot......fully recommended. ...

Advantages: small, easy to use Disadvantages: mp3 speakers not very loud
the camera is very simple to use, has lots of different features and takes a really good picture. I haven't found the zoom as good as other cameras but for taking out and about to parties it has taken some great pictures. The mp3 feature is a nice addition but don't expect too much sound from the speakers, my regular headphones did not fit either so I have had to use the ones which came with it. Setting up and using the software on the computer was ...

Advantages: All in one, not only a camera, is a multimedia device Disadvantages: Difficult to navigate in thre menu
...I decided to bought the Samsung NV3 because it has all the benefits of a good digital camera (good number of megapixels, enought optical zoom, etc) plus some multimedia features that convert it in a all-in-one device. You can read books, hear music or even see movies or videos in it. Is a good choice if you want to go for a short journey and its size is small enought to keep it in any place. A mention apart must be done about its design. If you want ...

Advantages: Clear photo's from average distance and fits in pocket nicely Disadvantages: Poor quality when goes into digital zoom =(
This new camera i bought cheap on the PC World website which was a great deal. This camera is sleek and stylish. It fits perfectly in your pocket as nothing stick out on it meaning it's compact. The features are very good on this camera and the 7 megapixel photo's are excellent wuality. Although one problem i have found with this camera is taking long distance photo's. When in was taking distance sporting photo's mabey from about 30 meters they did ...

Advantages: Small, powerful & stylish, Easy to use, Long battery life Disadvantages: Turns on easily in pocket/bag.
Recently bought this camera off Ebay for a great price, which included a memory card. I took the camera with me on holiday to budapest on the 21st January to 27th (last week) and was a little worried as I did not have to time to read through the user manual or get used to using it!! However, with just the auto function, it took amazing pictures, which were not affected by movement of the object or the camera, rain, bad weather conditions, or darkness. ... ...that you can choose from that result in excellant photographs, such as nighttime, portrait, landscape, etc. Camera proved to be excellant for both close of shots of people, monuments and widespread shots of the city from on top of a mountain. Also had great fun recording videos, which I did not expect to be of such great quality! Also, the long battery life and ability to charge the camera by mains instead of having to buy batteries was great!!! ...

Advantages: Small, light, excellent sound quality Disadvantages: mp3 player can be slightly confusing
the samsung nv3 is a small, stylish camera. but that is not all it is. its is an mp3 player with excellent sound quality, even when you unplug the headphones and listen to it out loud.
the nv3 is, once you get used to is, an easy to use piece of technology, but it oes take a little while to get used to and completely understand everything. the camera part of it, is easy to use, but the mp3 player part of it is slightly more complicated but still ... ...is that only the special headphones fit into it, so if you lose them, you cannot just used any old head phones to replace them. The nv3 is perfect for anyone, it is not specifically aimed at one age range (although from personal experiance, teenagers love it as a birthday or christmas present, but then again, so do husbands)
Overall, i think this product is moving technology forward, and is doing it in a compact and stylish way, and is perfect for ...

Advantages: Small, compact, sleek design, easy to use Disadvantages: specks of dust come out on flash
When i was searching for a camera I looked around...ALOT
I saw this and thought...hmmm..an Mp3 player, video player ect all in one camera. Too good to be true.
It wasn't. The camera is fantastic. Its response time it tiny and takes superb pictures.
The only nag is that when using flash at long range it picks up the specs of dust. Other cameras do this as well but hey =D
The reason for this is the flash being to close to the lens.
However, do ...

Advantages: Sleek & attractive, takes AMAZING pictures. Disadvantages: Black paint can become scratched, will break if dropped too hard/much
I have owned this camera for approximately 18 months.
Its broken at the moment which doesn't say too much about it's performance however it is overall an excellent little device!! It is one of the best looking cameras around; it's ultra-compact, it doesnt weigh too much-although it's far from flimsy, and the colours are really elegant! It also feels really nice to hold and is really starightforward to use.
It has many useful features including ... ...videos; using its 2 mini, sleek speakers.
I've found that the black paint can become scratched on the front of the camera which doesnt look very glamourous but if you're careful i'm sure it will stay in perfect sparkling condition!
Although it's broken at the moment I have had one more problem.... I'm not sure my speakers have worked since the first few months of me getting it? Probably courtesy to it being dropped.
Overall; an excellent, attractive ...

Advantages: Lightweight, slim design and excellent shots first time. Disadvantages: It does not come with a case
This camera is fantastic! It took me sometime to get used to half-holding the button (to autofocus) but the shots are incredibly vivid. I use my Mac to edit them and it is amazing how crystal clear the colours and content are. The different modes are also brilliant, especially the firework one, which does work, and produced some interesting shots. I would recommend this camera for someone who wants great shots without the fuss of a complicated camera. ...

This is an amazing little camera that continues to impress everyone to tends to borrow it. Considering it only has 7.2 MP compared to the markets current average of around 10 it still produces amazing quality pictures with features that allow you to have fun with the photos aswell.

Advantages: Looks good, plays MP3, MP4 Disadvantages: Is not the easiest camera to use
This camera looks and feels good. Its got style and lots of added extras. It takes pictures, videos and you can listens to MP3s and watch MP4s when you are not taking pictures.
Once you learn how to use the camera it takes great pictures and video in both daytime and nighttime. You have to buy a bigger memory card if you want to take videos and use the mp3 and mp4 functions.
It got a great two year worldwide guarntee and great for travelling.

Advantages: Well built Disadvantages: Speakers are tinny but dont forget this is camera
I bought one of these few months ago & i am very happy with it.
I also have a Nikon (film) SLR & i bought this camera to complement it.
In some places it can be a bit dodgy to carry a camera bag, but the NV3 is small,flat & robust enough for me to put it in the front pocket of my jeans & forget about it until needed. I bought it with a 1GB SD card for an extra £20, so i could store a movie & loads of mp3 files on it to keep the little one quiet ...
