  • The Korean electronics giant has decided to play hardball in the digital camera market and has upped its game considerably with its latest models. The result of this new 'get serious' attitude is the gorgeously designed and manufactured Samsung NV7 OP...

  • Rock-solid build, traditional compact-camera looks, sharp images
  • Unconventional styling and ‘smart-touch’ button layout takes some getting used to, zoom lever needs to be bigger for easier control Min specs: Mac OS 9 / OS X

  • A stylish snapper with a healthy feature set, the Samsung NV7 is let down by the image quality it churns out. Its well built but bulky, and its not cheap. PC Advisor staff Lowest online price: ££246.95 ...

  • Good image quality - high colour saturation (albeit with too much noise) Good macro / very good super macro mode Excellent 2.5" screen - very clear, high resolution 230,000 pixels Good video mode - VGA, 30fps, Sound, optical zoom available (sound mutes...
  • ASR / Advanced Shake Reduction produces noisy images and is of limited usefulness (especially when real image stabilisation is available). Excessive noise at all ISO settings with black dots visible even using ISO100 (and some banding) In playback mode...
  • Sometimes a little bit of noise is acceptable, especially if you can use the lowest ISO setting for noise free photos, but the NV7 features noise even when using ISO100. The "Smart Touch" interface is an interesting idea, but whilst it was designed to ...

  • Innovative control system. Great images. Old-school Leica styling.
  • No lens cover. LCD could be brighter.
  • An iconically styled camera with a truly innovative control system. It’s also a solid performer, making it an instant classic as well as a design masterclass ...

  • Abstract:  Samsung isnt particularly well known for digital cameras, and less so for high-end models. However, as it owns classy German lens maker Schneider Kreuznach, it comes as little surprise to see the retro-looking 7 megapixel NV7 OPS adorned with the most...

  • Compact size for a full-featured camera; optical image stabilization; Smart Touch user interface; 7x optical zoom; full manual shooting mode.
  • Lens cap a hassle to deal with; flimsy pop-up flash; cannot adjust volume during video playback; noisy images.
  • The NV7 is one of the smallest prosumer cameras but it could do better without the protruding lens and better image quality.
