Customer Review: good pics and features but slow
Positives: 1. Size is very small- wife loves it, goes in purse easily 2. Decent pics 3. Numerous features- including video+zoom…I like the “Backlight” scene since lot of photos the subjects face goes dark if their background is very bright and this corrects for that (with a flash) Negative: 1. Being used to a Canon, there is a big delay in this one..you press the trigger and hte lcd goes blank for longish time….(I think it has taken the pic so u can move your hand..its just writing to the card…which does not hurt the pic I think…) but annoying anyway..
Customer Review: A good option if your expectations are not high
If you are looking for a camera and size and price are your concerns, this is a good choice. At around $100, 8mp and a very slim desing, it is a good buy. However, if image quality is important to you, then you would be better served with a Canon or a Sony. Of course, that would mean that you would have to spend around $50-80 more.

This is probably the cheapest point & shoot digital camera available in the market with 8+ megapixel resolution. It takes fantastic pictures. It has simple interface, easy to use buttons, easy to understand and use menu & controls. It is also very lightweight & easy to carry. I am very happy with the product, it is the probably the best sub $100 digital camera available.

Customer Review: Disappointed
First, I’ll say that there are some things I really liked about this camera after using it for the past six months. The retro design makes it unique among digital cameras, and is very attractive if that’s your style. The low price for a 10 megapixel camera is unrivaled as well, and was one of the main draws for me for this camera. It holds battery well, so I didn’t have to recharge as often as some other cameras I’ve had. (It has an internal battery, so requires computer connection and cable to charge.) Now, the downsides. It is very, very slow to take and process pictures: Expect to wait several seconds after snapping a shot before you’re able to preview the picture. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but for a camera that has problematic settings and needs more attention than the average point-and-shoot (see below), I found I was missing shots that even a disposable film camera could have snapped more easily and quickly. In automatic mode, I rarely came out with focused pictures; it usually required playing around with various scenes and settings, even in full daylight. The on-screen functions are confusing, which may reflect my own personal preference, but I never really got used to them. I don’t consider this camera a simple point-and-shoot, so because it requires heavy adjustments on the settings, I would have hoped them to be a little more user friendly. There are a series of buttons along the bottom and right side of the screen to scroll through the functions, which I found complicated to navigate — I was always clicking the wrong functions because it was not clear which button matched up to what. One of my major complaints is that the structure of the camera itself was, in my opinion, shoddy. I took very good care of the camera, always stored it in a case and never abused it. However, after less than two months of use, the pop-up flash started acting up. The flash would go off but not pop up sometimes, causing ruined, black pictures when flash was necessary. Not much later it broke completely — the flash device is up 100% of the time and won’t go down unless held there, so while I don’t have dark pictures anymore, the flash risks snapping off. In the end, I gave the camera away and just bought a Nikon S210 to replace it. The price on the new camera is about the same, and although the Nikon is 8 megapixels, it has consistently taken better pictures faster than the Samsung, and thrives in automatic mode. For a nice looking, attractive camera, go for the Samsung NV15. For quality pictures, steer clear.
Customer Review: Generally happy, but with some concern.
Picture quality is very good, but not excellent. I don’t like the pop-up flash. When someone else uses the camera, they tend to think it can be opened manually — a logical conclusion. Fortunately, I’ve been able to give them advanced warning. If that isn’t possible in the future, someone may innocently break the camera by opening the flash. Also, dust seems to be collecting under the LCD cover. That would be OK, if there were a way the user could clean it out.

Customer Review: Great Product
I buy this camera 1 month ago, and I have to say is really amazing. The quality of the photos are really good, it has a lot of options (more than enough for any kind of situations) and the only thing you should know is that you must buy a memory card, because the internal memory is really low.
Customer Review: Great camera for outdoor pics - average for indoor
I purchased this camera for my wife to replace a Canon that was too big to fit her purse - the Canon was great, but a bit bulky. Here’s what we think of the camera so far: Pros: - Outdoor daytime pictures are stunning! Colors are bright and faithful to real-life and white balance is good at factory settings. - Large LCD screen with auto brightness in any lighting is a big plus. We never have trouble seeing the screen, even in bright light. - For such a small, purse-sized camera, we think it is plenty sturdy - just be sure to use the wrist strap, because it is easier to drop by nature of it’s size - that’s just basic physics! Cons: - Flash photography is just average - and the camera is pretty slow in very low light, even with flash. - Battery life is just average. You should get an extra battery - if you do, I would get a name brand, as generics don’t hold charge and won’t last as long as your original. Overall, for our use, we love this camera! We just wish it was a bit faster in low light and had a longer-lasting battery. Still, we highly recommend!
