This Fall the next generation Samsung digicams will hit the shops. And they look amazingly nice: black metal, maybe a bit futuristic…

The NV3 has more or less “standard” specs with a 7.2 MP sensor and 3x optical zoom - but very nicely packed.
At the other end is the NV10 with 10 MP and a 5x optical lens.
In between is the NV7, sporting a 7.2 MP CCD and a 7x optical zoomlens.

Samsung clearly is taking a lot of effort in getting top specifications, both in design and technology. Optics are manufactured by the famous Schneider-Kreutznach. All camera’s have image stabilization, and the NV7 even two stabilizing mechanisms - that’s great for low-light shots!

The first test-images show remarkable low noise at the higher ISO settings of 800 and 1000.

Samsung has good bets to compete with the “established” brands this fall!
