I purchased a Samsung NV8 a few weeks ago for taking snaps on a skiing holiday. I was lucky enough to pick it up for £79 at John Lewis because it had been out of the box as a demonstration item.
The camera comes boxed with rechargeable battery, USB cable, mains charger, software CD, AV cable, wrist strap and manuals. The USB cable plugs into the mains plug to act as a standalone charger - this is a great plus in my opinion as more and more different products adopt this approach nowadays. It means that I only have to pack one 3-pin plug part when going away, and all my USB-charging devices can use it. The cable itself is simple and functional, with an LED light in the end which connects to the camera to show (through its colour) the charging status.
The camera itself goes for a design which blends retro with modern, and looks very stylish in sleek black with blue accents. The front of the camera has a bulge on one side with a rubberised grip which makes it easy to hold with one hand. It felt entirely secure in my hand while skiing at a leisurely pace for snapping photos. The top of the camera is home to the mode selector wheel which resembles what is found on most cameras, as well as the power button and shutter release. It also houses the built-in flash which pops up when required. The bottom is home to the battery and SD card slots and the charging/USB sync port, as well as the tripod hole (for want of a better word) which is hard to see into but appears to have a metal thread which is very pleasing. The back has a generous 2.5" LCD screen, the zoom button and the "Smart Touch" interface - 7 buttons along the bottom of the screen and 6 along the right hand side. There is also a button to quickly switch into review mode, which I found to be a very welcome feature.
Operation
The camera starts up and is ready to shoot in about 1.2 seconds. In automatic mode the user only needs to hold the shutter halfway for focusing and flash metering (which usually takes under 1 second, but in dark conditions can take several and sometimes needs refocusing) and then press fully down to take a photo. The pop-up flash will by default open automatically if necessary, although the Smart Touch buttons work as soft keys allowing the user to select fill-in flash or no flash at all. All the settings are taken care of in AUTO, but there are plenty of opportunities to tinker in program and manual modes, which is where the Smart Touch interface really comes into its own. Buttons presses open up sliders for things like aperture, ISO level and shutter speed, and then the row of buttons can be used as if it were one touch-sensitive strip to move the sliders around. It beats standard arrow button or joystick-based navigation systems hands down, eliminating the needs for labyrithine menu systems and putting all the necessary controls on the same screen as the main viewfinder. The Smart Touch controls play a similar role when replaying photos and videos. A simple finger swipe across the row of buttons is all that's needed to browse through photos, while the two sets of buttons act as scrollbars when zooming or cropping. I simply cannot emphasise enough how this is not just a gimmick, it is a pleasure to use. The ASR stabilisation mode does what it says on the tin, and helped no end when taking heavily zoomed shots from a rocking ski chair lift! Battery life was very satisfactory, lasting a few days of moderate use before needing to be recharged. The video recording mode looked good on the camera, and I have yet to look at it on the computer screen.
Storage
The camera uses SD cards and is SDHC compatible - perfect for me as I take lots of photos and cannot stand having to take around many cards. One 4GB card was enough for my trip, but even bigger cards are available and could keep you going for ages. The photos are easily transferred via USB in mass storage mode without any hassle or software required - just drag and drop really. The camera also has 16MB of built in storage so if you're ever caught without a card you can still get a few snaps.
Quality
Picture quality is excellent; the 8.1 megapixel images are great at almost full size, with some grain and noise present but expected on a full size crop.
Key features
- All standard features (self-timer etc.) - Face recognition identifies faces for focusing - Excellent stabilisation - Smart Touch interface is a joy to use (and awe-inspiring among my friends!)
In short, for the money this is an excellent compact camera, well worth the £100 you can get it for online. If you are looking for a camera for casual/leisure/holiay snaps use then don't hesitate to go for this beauty - I see no point in paying any more for anything else within this category of camera.
Advantages: Overall good camera.. Disadvantages: Is not compatible with computers..
...considering some of the turkeys Samsung has produced. Picture quality is quite good as is the interface, features, build quality and its excellent looks. A minor complaint is the lack of a viewfinder. The central and deal-breaking problem however is the software. Unlike older Samsung cameras where one's computer automatically recognised the camera when you just plugged in the USB cable, the NV8 has some very serious driver/software issues, which ... ...range and the drivers which Samsung has you install. The instruction booklet in 2 simple steps directs you to install the software provided and connect the camera to download pictures. Upon having the camera connect (from the camera menu) to the computer a small window appears asking what program you would like to use to open the contents of the camera's storage. This menu however does not (and will not) list any programs. Opening the installed Samsung ...

Advantages: Auto contrast balance mode that automatically adjusts brightness Disadvantages: nothing
...too sure about buying a samsung camera, but this put my worries to rest. I had always brought samsung phones as i love their design and performance, especially the touchscreen models, but cameras were an unknown quality for me.
The Samsung NV8 Digital Camera is a stylish camera that comes with a whopping 8MP, which i found sensational to use! Coming with 16MB built-in memory, its enough to store a few photos until you need to transfer them to your ... ...It has a self timer and uses SD cards that maximise the memory capacity of the camera. Comes complete with lithium ion - rechargeable battery, software, strap, AV cable and USB cable.

Advantages: sleek and easy to use shake reduction and good quality photos Disadvantages: videos are AVI which is hard to edit
...I'm very satisfied indeed ..The Samsung NV8 camera features the sleek, elegant design and innovative Smart Touch interface .For high image quality i found that its hard to edit the videos on the computer thought because it records as an AVI.
i think this camera is fantastic it has face recognision upto 9 faces not that ive had a photo of 9 faces yet , but ive had it working for 5 people so it does work. i found its quite hard to take a steady photo ... ...on shake reduction and can be a bit of a shakey image, i found a way to solve it , to set it to "scene" choose "children" and then select shake reduction , often has no flash when i do that , but its alot better.
does great close up's and is 8 mp which is fab, large photos though once uploaded to computer so often have to resize for the web
overall great camera ...

Advantages: high quality pictures, full of features and easy to use Disadvantages: havent encountered any
A newer version of an already great and fantastic digital camera.
The 12.1 mega pixel camera can take pictures of up to 4000x3000, and having looked at some of the photos on my mac, i cant believe the clarity and crispness of the pictures.
Bought this for around £170 which to me seems like a bargain.
The user interface works like the other samsung camera models (nv8,nv10,nv11) and is packed full of features, all easily accessible without having to search through dozens of menus.
The red eye fix feature is superb and works well and the asr (anti shake feature) reduces blurred photos for those who have unsteady hands
The 2.5" lcd screen displays images well.
Easy to follow instruction manual (you probably wont need to look at it too often as the camera is straightforward to use).
Conclusion: -
Excellent camera full ...

For outstanding image quality NV8 features premium Schneider optics with a 3x optical zoom. On the back of the camera's brushed, stainless steel bodies, lies Samsung's Smart Touch user interface. Smart Touch enables easy navigation of the camera's comprehensive feature sets by simply sliding a finger across the control buttons positioned around the 2.5" LCD screen. The NV8 can also shoot at ISO 3200, and boast an improved Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) feature as well as Samsung's new Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) and Image Noise Reduction modes. ACB automatically adjusts the brightness of subjects composed in harsh lighting, such as those that are back-lit, and the Image Noise Reduction helps limit the amount of noise in captured images, especially those shot at higher ISO settings. This camera features Samsung's Face Detection technology, which makes taking pictures of family and friends a snap. Samsung's Face Detection feature detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality.
