Compare Prices : Samsung NV 11

Review summary: We like this camera a lot, and for a rugged day out it's one of the most reliable snappers out there. We just wouldn't shoot our best mate's wedding on it.

Verdict: But it's not just the 5x optical zoom rating that's getting us hot under the collar, because this is top-notch Schneider glasswork, and adds a touch of class to the whole set up

Review summary: samsung nv11 review: The Samsung NV11 can produce some very nice-looking pictures, but its unique interface isn't for everyone.

Pros: Good image quality, Manual exposure controls

Cons: Smart Touch interface takes some getting used to, Sluggish when starting up

Verdict: The Samsung NV11 can produce some very nice-looking pictures, but its unique interface isn't for everyone.

Review summary: Having recently reviewed the i70 that had a superb User Guide this came as a huge shock to have one of the worst printed user manuals I have seen. Shame really as the camera and it's abilities are superb should you ever get to know the NV11.

Verdict: I was more than happy with all the images I took both in daylight and using flash once I found how to centre the colour that had been set to what is called 'warm' by the last reviewer. Before this it was impossible to get a white that did not look cream

Review summary: The NV11 ($329) is the latest and greatest in Samsung's high-end NV-series of digital cameras. It builds on the NV10 (introduced in 2006), adding a more powerful zoom lens (5X vs. 3X) and a larger LCD (2.7" vs. 2.5"), while improving battery life by ...

Pros: Stylish design, built like a brick ; 5X zoom in a relatively small package ; Large, high resolution 2.7" LCD display (though see issues below) ; Unique user interface (though see below) ; Full manual controls ; Powerful flash ; Advanced Shake ...

Cons: Soft images with noise reduction artifacts, even at ISO 80 ; Redeye a big problem, even with in-camera removal tool ; Poor white balance performance under artificial light ; Awkward user interface can be frustrating ; sometimes too sensitive, other ...

Verdict: I wanted to put the Samsung S1050 in that chart, but I don't have battery life numbers for it. The group average is around 240 shots per charge, which puts the NV11 about 10% below average. As such, it's probably worth buying a spare battery
