Samsung NV10

Récompense : Le Choix!

Résumé : La marque coréenne affiche son ambition en présentant une nouvelle gamme innovante à plus d'un titre, baptisée NV.

Points forts : - Zoom 3x dans un appareil très plat - Style très raffiné - Ergonomie innovante - Capteur de 10 Mpix

Points faibles : - Pas de stabilisateur - Pas de viseur optique - Grand angle ne démarrant qu'au 35 mm

Résumé : Samsung claims that the NV10 is a perfect balance of elegance and simplicity, but what's it like at taking a picture?

Points forts : Superb operating speed, Great build and handling, Looks

Points faibles : Noise levels/'mushy' detail, No aperture priority or shutter priority modes

Conclusion : Samsung's latest is exquisitely made, beautiful to look at and a real joy to use - it's such a shame the image quality doesn't match the design.

Résumé : The NV10 ($399) is one of three models in Samsung's stylish new NV series of digital cameras. This one's a compact camera (though not as small as the NV3) that features a 10 Megapixel CCD, 3X optical zoom lens, digital image stabilization, and a 2.5" ...

Points forts : Compact, very stylish and well built body ; Large, high resolution 2.5" LCD display (though see issues below) ; Unique user interface ; Several manual controls ; Fun special effects, plenty of scene modes ; AF-assist lamp, very good low light focusing ...

Points faibles : Noisy images with substantial corner blurring ; some purple fringing ; Redeye a big problem ; Unique user interface ; more specifically, flaky touch sensitive buttons, too fast scrolling when viewing images in playback mode, and too slow in playback ...

Conclusion : I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the battery numbers Samsung provides are fairly close to what the CIPA numbers would be. With that in mind, it's pretty safe to say that the NV10 gets below average battery life in this class

Résumé : Part of Samsung's quirky, attractive NV series, the NV10 is an ultracompact 10-megapixel shooter with 3x optical zoom. Its Smart Touch interface takes some getting used to, but its vividly coloured images and impressive range of manual options ...

Points forts : Decent image quality ; relatively quick performance ; full manual controls

Points faibles : Smart Touch interface isn't for everyone ; no aperture/shutter priority mode ; fringing plagues photos

Conclusion : If you can get past its unusual interface and sluggish performance, the Samsung NV10 is a decent digital snapshot camera with some great manual features
