Manufacturer Description
The new NV Series radiates individuality and style. The blue ring design concept aims to become a consistent mark for Samsung quality and design in digital cameras.

Together with a precision-crafted lens from Schneider Kreuznach, the NV11's 1/1.8-inch CCD supports 10.1-megapixels to capture even the tiniest details, resulting in a picture quality of unmatched beauty. The 5x optical zoom -- also supported in video mode -- brings subjects that much closer, and a 2.7-inch LCD ensures a clear view during photography and playback. Samsung ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) stabilizes the image for blur-free images. Red-eye Fix delivers natural, flattering portrait shots when using built-in electronic-flash, and the improved ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) system reduces blur resulting from normal hand movement while High Sensitivity (up to ISO 1600) allows for terrific pictures in a variety of lighting conditions.

NV11 Highlights

Smart Touch plus large 2.7-inch LCD 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. This unique touch-sensitive system gives you easy, intuitive control over the camera, and the large 2.7-inch LCD gives you a great view every time.

ISO 1600 high sensitivity with ASR provides maximum clarity Even when camera shake has been eliminated, a fast moving subject can result in image blur. The NV11 supports ISO 1600 high sensitivity with ASR to provide extra clear pictures with just the right amount of brightness, even when your subject happens to be moving very fast under less-than-perfect lighting conditions.

Face Recognition AF & AE The NV11 has a built-in face recognition feature that detects up to nine different faces, enabling you to take perfect portraits of friends and family. In addition to automatically adjusting focus and brightness to optimum levels, this feature also senses and removes red-eye.

Advanced Shake Reduction ASR reduces the effects of camera shake in low light conditions. Flash photography can sometimes result in harsh, over-exposed images, but ASR guarantees bright, crisp and natural images without using a flash at all.

ISO 1600 Standards in Action NV series has an auto sensitivity feature that automatically adjusts sensitivity according to the ambient exposure conditions up to ISO 1600. The high sensitivity setting of ISO 1600 enables you to take clear indoor pictures in dim conditions without camera shake and the resulting image blurring.

Advanced Photo Gallery Access your pictures quickly and easily at any time thanks to an innovative new user interface.

Red-eye Fix function A special red-eye fix algorithm on the camera automatically eliminates redeye from your pictures. You can remove red-eye during image payback, or for even greater convenience, set the camera to automatically detect and eliminate red-eye from your shots as they are taken.

Advanced Movie Function The NV series supports MPEG-4 VGA (640x480, 30fps) and TVD (720x480, 20fps - NV3) size for an enhanced video shooting experience. You can even edit your movies on the camera itself, making these clever models brilliantly portable but powerful movie-makers.

If the Zoom buttons are being pressed during the Movie clip shots, the voice will not record.

12 Scene Modes The NV models have a choice of scene modes to help you get the perfect shot in any situation. By automatically adjusting the camera's setting according to the situation, you can be sure of getting great pictures effortlessly. The scene modes provided are Night Scene, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Close-up, Beach and Snow. In addition, Biz mode (NV11) extends the camera's application potential. Just take pictures of business cards, and then connet the camera to your PC afterwards. It will automatically recognize the cards, manage them, and store them in your PC using the included software.

Digimax Master all-in-one software Digimax master is the software that integrates the viewer, still image, movie editing, and editing functions into a single application.

Customer Reviews

My dream camera
Please know that I have never taken any photography courses and have very little technical knowledge. I wanted a high MP camera with a rechargeable battery that took black and white pictures. After researching every camera I could find that met my requirements and some that didn't quite, I chose the Samsung NV11.

The Pros:

Without any technical knowledge it was kind of intimidating with all of the menus at first but I downloaded the manual off the Samsung website and the camera is VERY user friendly. I am ESPECIALLY pleased with the Super Macro function, taking close ups of flowers etc it has an AMAZING zoom. I love the video camera function, it'll take a movie up to 4 hours long (my Fuji finepix had a very short video limit). It also came with an a/v hookup so I can connect my camera directly to my tv which I love.

This camera is teaching me a lot too, using different options and functions I can tell instantly on the screen its effect on the picture.

The Cons:

The digital zoom from 3x to 5x tends to grain a lot and the battery life is just so-so. The audio on the video function cuts out when you try to zoom which is annoying but I bought an extra battery and work around the rest, overall I am VERY happy with my new camera!

The finest small digital camera.
Of all the smaller digital cameras I've owned, this is the best.
I carry it with me everywhere
Unique, good looking camera.

Easy to use. Superb, sharp picture quality.
Functions as advertised. Never a problem.

As with most cameras today it does not have a view finder.
Framing your subject in daylight is a little difficult.

Love this camera
It's hard to find a good camera these days. They all look so nice and shiny and stylish. At first glance, I wasn't too sure about the Samsung NV11. It looked bulky to me - and old. But in the end, I trusted the great user reviews this camera has been receiving and WOW - I was NOT let down!

This camera is the best! You really can't beat this camera for the price!

PROS:

It's not as big as it looks. Takes great quality videos AND pictures. The screen is really big. Great style! Lots of features. Battery life, despite complaints from other users, lasts as long (or longer) as a standard Nikon camera in the same price range (or more expensive). (I took mine on vacation and it lasted about 5 days of heavy usage. Great zoom! It comes with a USB chord to charge from your computer, OR the USB chord can plug into an adapter (included) that can be plugged into a wall socket. It's really a great device!

Cons:

Well I don't have any complaints at all, really... and I'm a very big critic of everything. I would recommend two counter measures, though, if you buy this camera: 1) Buy two 2GB SD cards to make sure you have plenty of room for taking pictures and videos. 2) Buy a couple extra batteries from Ebay and charge 'em all up before you go on vacation. Works like a charm!

Final note: I highly recommend this camera.
