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 the lens is ridiculously tiny so obviously there's going to 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 digiscoping. Unfortunately, the lens in this case is too close to the corner of the camera so when it's centralised on the scope eyepiece, it lets light in. Had I realised this would have carried on looking for a camera with the lens more central on the body, but even so I'm getting record shots at long distances much more easily than if I had to mess about with threaded adaptors etc.
A really, really cool thing though about this camera is that it is super-easy to record a short verbal commentary on each picture, making it absolutely perfect for natural history fieldwork or, I should think, any other information-collection hobby, stained glass, antiques, um, train spotting... It's genius - this functionality is not hidden away in menus or whatever, it's right there on the button and dead easy to access. When you get home, your verbal 'notes' tell you exactly what each picture is. You can also download MP3s and listen to them via a headphone socket; down (and up) loading is really easy because once you install the driver, the PC just treats the camera as a drive, there's no complicated 'management' software to load and learn. It warns you in the book not to just put the SD card in a card reader, but I've done that on my laptop and experienced no problems so far, fingers crossed.
As mentioned in another review, the flash is a bit rubbish, but what do you expect, it's about as big as a fly's eye. This camera also looks above-averagely cool and seems very durable with its metal case, it certainly get admiring comments and has something of the Ixus-factor about it. I'm dead pleased with it and take it everywhere. There is no case provided as standard so budget for one on top (or just use a little leather bag from a jumble sale if you're a cheapskate like me :-) )
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: 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: Good quality resolution, price, zoom lens, build quality Disadvantages: Large and bulky lens makes it tricky to carry.
This particular camera sits in the middle of the NV series by Samsung, though the NV3 and NV7 are more well known then this particular model. However, I happen to think that this particular model is perhaps undeservingly overlooked.
The resolution is 7.2MP, so it can certainly match a large selection of cameras on offer in the same price bracket for quality. You can adjust that to a lower setting if you do not want to use up too much memory per photo. That said, even on a lower setting, it still produces quite respectable photos, with sharp images and colours looking realistic and clear. As for the memory, the internal memory is only 19MB, so you will need either an SD card or a MMC card - either format is supported. The card has to be formatted by the camera before use, but the instructions are clear on how to do this. Access time to ...

Manufacturer's product description
Don't be fooled by its compact size. The NV3 features seven different and dynamic ways to entertain your senses, whatever your mood. The NV3 is much more than a camera: it answers the needs of consumers who crave for more, combining a more luxurious design and practical multimedia technology. The NV3 is a convergence device, functioning as a high-resolution 7.2 mega-pixel digital camera. It also acts as an MP3 player using a special audio processing chip delivering 3D, Jazz, Rock, and other sound effects; a Portable Multimedia Player that can be connected to an external speaker for realistic movie sounds; a digital camcorder with MPEG-4 TVD & VGA video support for TV quality images; a voice recorder and a Sound clip function to record voice during 10-second self-timer shooting mode; a text viewer for reading text on the LCD or to use as an e-book; and as a portable disk with a 16M built-in memory and external SD card. The NV3 is a truly practical multimedia digital camera, with features to attract the next generation of digital photographers. With Samsung's unique ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) system, 3x optical zoom, 5x digital zoom, and 230K 2.5" LCD, the NV3 is a spectacular digital camera in itself. Its multitasking function enables you to listen to music while taking pictures. The NV3 is a thin digital camera at 17.5mm in depth, encased in a black stainless steel body that is scratch and shock resistant. As with the other models in the NV Series, it uses the unique Samsung digital camera blue ring to maintain its identity with the NV range. The NV3 also minimizes zoom noise in movie recording mode enabling sound to be recorded. With AGC (Auto Gain Control) recording technology, the NV3's video quality delivers a real camcorder like experience.
