The Samsung NV10 is a brave attempt to do something totally different in a world dominated by incremental updates of existing models. The NV series represents Samsung's bid to grab a large slice of the digicam market, a stepping stone to eventually becoming one of the top 3 players. The NV10 is a premium-level product that is both well made and well thought out, with a unique menu interface that makes the camera easier to understand and navigate than a conventional system. The Samsung NV10 really does look and feel different to most other cameras out there. Sadly, although the NV10 offers a truly unique user experience, the images that it produces do not match the high quality of the rest of the camera. High levels of noise at ISO 200 and faster is the main problem, but the NV10 also suffers from obvious purple fringing and a very limited anti-shake mode. It's a real shame, as the NV10 is otherwise a joy to use. Ultimately the Samsung NV10 is an innovative product that forgets about one of the key fundamentals of a good camera, making it an unfortunate example of style over substance.
