Samsung NV40 point-and-shoot gets reviewed
Don't sweat it, we're not going to quiz you on the specs from Samsung's NV40 -- after all, this puppy was introduced way back in January of the year 2008. Nevertheless, the 10-megapixel shooter has finally arrived at PhotographyBLOG's labs for review, so let's dive right in. Simply put, the NV40 isn't a revolutionary step above the NV20, though that wasn't seen as necessarily bad. It was noted that the image stabilization worked quite well, but captures were still noticeably noisy even at ISO 200. The unit itself felt like a premium product, and the Smart Touch interface was highly praised, but reviewers just couldn't find a way to stomach the £199 ($385) price tag with such disappointing image results. Check out the full review for yourself before passing judgment, but it sounds like Sammy just barely missed the mark with this one.
Samsung launches the NV40, NV30, NV4 and NV24HD digital cameras
Your good buddies at Samsung UK are introducing a handful of new entries into its tried and true, compact NV line -- the NV40, NV30, NV4, and NV24HD. Most interesting of the lot is the latter, the NV24HD, which is the company's first HD still camera, a 10-megapixel shooter that also does 720p HD, and can send its juicy images via HDMI to your favorite HDTV. The NV40, on the other hand, is a 10-megapixel camera with 3 x zoom, ISO up to 3200, and a 2.5-inch LCD display. The NV30 is a similarly spec'd camera, but drops the resolution to 8-megapixels (though retains the company's ASR and red eye reduction features). The story is largely the same for the NV4, which the company claims is a "practical yet multipurpose" device. The NV24HD will run you £249 (or $491), the NV40 comes in at £199 ($392), £179 for the NV30, and the NV4 will run you £149 ($294). All in all, pretty boring!Read - Samsung NV24HDRead - Samsung NV30Read - Samsung NV40[Via PhotographyBLOG]
