DPReviews My Camera
 Everybody's favorite digital photography website posted an in-depth review of my new Samsung NV10 last week, and I wanted to share some highlights...  "...the new 'Smart Touch' user interface; one of the only serious attempts at improving the ease and speed of access to advanced controls we've seen in over a decade of digital camera development..."  "In playback mode...You scroll through images using a 'slider bar' (sliding your finger along the buttons under the screen). This is the only time I found the Smart Touch system annoying; it's way too easy to 'overshoot' and it's actually quite hard to scroll one image at a time; it really needs a 'next and previous' button." (I totally agree) "The biggest - and to be honest the NV10's most serious flaws - are the excessively high saturation and contrast levels (which can't be changed)." "let's be honest; high ISO on a 10MP this small doesn't really work, does it?"  "'ASR' mode...works - sort of - but it can't work magic, and there is a serious impact not only on image quality (a huge leap in noise and loss of detail) but on performance too...adds 4 or 5 seconds to the 'shot-to-shot' time...this certainly isn't a replacement for optical stabilization (or even a feature that deserves its own spot on the mode dial). I'm going to really put it through its paces in New York this weekend... Labels: handy
