Editorial Review :

Samsung NV15, part of the second generation of NV series, takes both design and functionality to a whole new level. The NV15 is equipped with 10.1 mega pixel CCD and a Schneider-Kreuznach lens, known for outstanding quality and delivering crystal-clear images with every shot, as well as a 3x optical and a 5x digital zoom. Built-in Face Recognition AF&AE can identify up to nine faces in a picture and adjust complexion accordingly, while Red-eye Fix automatically removes any annoying red-eye effect. Auto Contrast Balance compensates for brightness and Auto Shake Reduction (ASR) compensates for a shaky hand on the part of the photographer. And now navigating complicated menu systems is a thing of the past! The brilliant new Smart Touch user interface makes accessing menu functions and reviewing your images an absolute pleasure with a unique touch-ensitive system gives you easy, intuitive control over the camera, as the large 2.5" LCD gives you a great view every time. Innovative Smart Touch User Interface Face Recognition AF & AE with Red Eye Fix Bright 2.5 color TFT LCD screen 20MB Internal Memory - accepts SD/SDHC/MMC memory cards (up to 4 GB) VGA recording capability Supports ISO 3200 (at 3M) for clarity in imperfect lighting USB 2.0 port - can connect to Windows and Mac

Excellent camera, loads of features!!

This is my third camera like this. I bought one for each of my children and was always envious of the them, especially the close up capabillities. I wanted a camera to photograph close up pictures of some coins I want to catalog and this camera does a wonderful job. Using the higher resolutions allows me to zoom in on a particular feature of the coin to better show detail and/or mint errors. Great camera, easy to use and very easy to carry around. The one drawback is that the flash tends to pop open so if you carry it around much use a well fitted case so you don't damage the flash should it pop up.

Fun little camera, that's about it

I have had this camera for about a year now, and can say I do enjoy using it. The menu system is intuitive, smart, and quick--exactly what I expect from a solid maker like Samsung. This menu system is a great example of what a relatively new (and tech-friendly) company to the photo game brings to the camera market. The design is beautiful and the vintage rangefinder-esque, slim body is what drew me to this and ultimately led me to purchasing it.

Now lets get to arguably the most important part: picturetaking. If all you do is shoot simple portraits and landscapes, then you probably will be happy with this. If you want a little more picturetaking "chops", you should probably look elsewhere. I am fine with its limited capabilities, due to the fact that I use it 90% of the time simply for snapshots. And I have since bought a Nikon D300--so I don't need a big-performing point-and-shoot.

I have tried using the NV15 on active subjects, with mixed results at best. It's AF (autofocus) is slow, and optical quality in low light without flash (@ higher ISO) is pretty poor. Its image stabilization is also so-so, compared to offerings by the established camera makers. And to boot, I dropped the camera from a very small height, and the topline of the camera shows a large crease through it. The stainless steel that comprises the top piece is, in my opinion, too thin and a poor choice of material. Samsung could remedy this by employing a piece of lighter and thicker material that has less malleability, i.e. aluminum or magnesium. I don't expect that camera makers design this class of camera for particularly rugged durability (unless they are going specifically after this niche, like Olympus has) so I'm not too bummed about the dent.

All in all, I like the camera fine and I suppose from an aesthetics perspective, the design and the menu selection system alone make it worth the purchase--barely. If I had to do it over again a year ago, knowing what I know now, I would have bought something like the Canon sd750. On the market now are at least a dozen cameras that would be great alternatives and are feature-packed. In the past year, I hope that Samsung has improved their picturetaking features from the NV15 such as AF, higher ISO image quality and image stabilization. Because if those qualities are paired with Samsung's current innovative features, they could become an elite player in the market.

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.

Great camera, great price, great service

Everything I expected and more. This camera is sexy. Easy to use, fast from power to click, long battery life.

Rating :

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.

No more Samsung anything!

My husband bought the camera from Sear's on 12/1/08 as a Christmas gift to me. I was pleased with it until 12/4/09 when it would not come on. (It has a 1 year warranty) I took it to Sear's on 12/5/09 and the guys in electronics tried to figure out the problem but couldn't. Just got off the phone with Samsung Customer Service and was informed my warranty expired in April 09 even though I had a receipt for 12/1/08. Also it was going to cost a minimum of $50.00 to fix the camera. We will never purchase another Samsung product again.

GREAT BUY! UPDATE!! GO TO SEARS.COM TO GET FOR $129 DEAL!!!

I got this camera (red) as a black friday/cyber monday deal [...] and I am completely impressed about the quality of pictures. I have a [...] kodak and I have been looking for a good point and shoot to replace/supplement it. The screen is big, the lcd screen shows a crisp view of the pic with very clear and deep colors. The extra features are really nice too. I'm still exploring them, but, I heard a song on the mp3 mode, the world map/tour thing is really interesting; gives you attraction sites in multiple places around the world, and the video/movie mode looks really really good too. My requirements for a new camera were, at least a 3" lcd, compact size, and good pics. I also tested a Nikon (s52)which was more expensive, had less features and more importantly the pictures were so grainy compared to this one; it was a huge difference. So huge that I realized what a good deal I had gotten and quickly got back online and ordered another one of these for a gift. I'll update after more experience but, just wanted to let people know this is a very good option.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR YEARS!!!!!!!

This is the WORST PRODUCT with the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! I only gave it one star because I had to, but it does not deserve ANY!!!!! I bought this camera last November and have yet to have a camera that works. I have sent it in FOUR times to be fixed and the last time I sent it in (a month ago) I have STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT BACK!!!!! When I asked for a refund, I was refused and they said that they could only send me a black camera (which after a month of waiting they have not sent me). Each time I sent it in to be fixed it was because it stopped taking pictures after recharging the battery. I cannot believe that Samsung has not refunded my money after they convinced me to buy their piece of GARBAGE!!!!!!! How is it that a company can sell a product that doesn't work and not refund your money after a year of CRAPY SERVICE and HEADACHE? I will NEVER buy a Samsung product again!!!!!

Samsung has hit it Big with this one!

I've been a Samsung Camera lover for a long time. I began with the Digimax S500, then upgraded to Samsung NV3, and now I recently purchased the Samsung i85. I've tried other cameras like the Sony Cybershot DSC S730, but returned it instantly at poor picture quality and lack of image stabilization (Don't be fooled by the SONY brand name, this camera is not good!). Then I bought an Olympus FE-230, and although the picture quality was great and the camera was slim and lightweight, it was too slow at taking pictures for my taste.

After my failed attempts, I bought the Samsung NV3, which is a perfect camera. It takes great pictures, amazing videos with great sound, and you can even hear MP3s on it. After having a successful buy with the Samsun NV3, I decided to upgrade and immediately fell in love with the Samsung i85. This camera has it all. It takes beautiful pictures both inside and outside. It has many features in which you can tweek your camera into taking great pictures despite the horrid conditions outside.

The face recognition function, image stabilization, and ASR function make this camera perfect for portraits and up close and personal pictures. The pictures are so crisp and clear that it makes the worst looking image look beautiful. Videos turn out nice, with great sound quality; however, it is better to take videos in well lit areas. The World Tour guide function seems to be really cool and educational, but I haven't really messed around with that yet.

Moving on, Samsung's i85 is a great camera for those who want great pictures, and don't want to spend too much on a digital camera. Samsung cameras are also very durable and with the internal zoom, you won't have to worry about messing up the lense. Battery life is very good, but I feel that the NV3 has a longer battery life span. The LCD display screen is huge and great for previewing pictures. I do recommend for those who are purchasing this camera to buy it either in silver or black, as they look nicer with time.

Overall, this is a great camera and you'll definitely be content with your purchase!

battery life unacceptable

We bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas after doing much research. I have been terribly disappointed in the battery life. She has to charge it before every use. I have a Fuji Finepix that I can keep in my purse for months and use it periodically and it holds a charge for months at a time. I called Samsung and asked why the camera would not hold a charge for more than a day at a time and they told me that is normal for this camera and there is no fix for it. Very disappointing. If you buy this camera, plan to charge it daily. What a pain!!

Great little Samsung

This is a fine camera, Has a nice feel to it, Not a battery hog. One drawback is that it will not accept SDHC cards just the standard SD. Having said that, it will take a 4gb SD card. More than enough for hundreds of pictures. The screen is clear and the controls are easy to use. As for picture quality, it is excellent. This model has been upgraded to the S1050. Not much difference except that that camera takes SDHC
