The Samsung NV10 digital camera derives a sentence of special megapixel from a 1/1.8" CCD imager, and couples this with what looks to act as a tolerably lively peculiarity set. The Samsung NV10 has an attractive hardened figure with softly curved side edges, and mostly smooth panels , save for a protrusion around the lens, and a gently angled handgrip on the right hand end (as seen from the rear). The lens is a Schneider-Kreuznach Varioplan-branded 3x optical zoom with a 35 - 105mm equivalent zoom range, and a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at wide angle, or a not so bright f/5.1 at telephoto.

A 2.5" LCD demonstration takes unraveling a delightful cost of certain estate on the move of the camera, further is surrounded by a hefty thirteen unmarked buttons that are accompanied by a graphical user interface on the LCD that guides you as to their functions.

Eleven scene modes should help make the camera approachable for beginners. Images are stored on SD / MMC cards, or in 20MB of built in memory, and power comes from a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.
