****Review item****

Samsung NV3 digitial camera

****Background****

I've had this camera for 12 months as it was a Christmas present.

****Features****

7.2 Mega Pixels, 3x optical zoom, Portable Multimedia Player (PMP), Stereo Speakers, Advanced Shake reduction, 2.5" TFT LCD, ISO 1000, Digimax Conveter supported OS: Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP.

I won't pretend to know what all those features are and I'm sure I don't use half of them, but what I can tell you is that the features I use are very good. I especially like the movie setting. This allows short movies to be taken and because of the advanced shake reduction feature and stereo speakers this really is top quality. Although as the person recording it does pick up your own embarrassing voice so it's good that earphones are supplied.

The camera itself is quite heavy for a digital camera but I liked having that weight factor as it felt much more substantial despite its slimline feature. It is sleek in design and I have the black version. My only complaint is the facade is easily scored (which I did within 5 minutes of opening).

Charging is also another great feature. If you are downloading your pictures using the USB cable it simultaneously charges your camera!! there is also a "plug" supplied which the USB clips into for mains charging.

The buttons are simple to use and there are a range of different scene setters, and resolution types.

****Problems****

I have had to return this camera twice due to the shutter not closing or opening properly. Both times I have rung Samsung (not the easily telephone number to track down) and they have posted out a pre-paid envelope. And it has been returned within 2 weeks. I have to say I am very pleased with their customer service. The people on the phone have always been pleasant and the warranty on the camera (originally purchased from Amazon) is 2 years!!

****Overall****

Advantages - l I love my camera. I think the photo quality is very good and the customer service is excellent from Samsung.

Disadvantages - has "froze" a couple of times, and facade scores easily. No camera case is supplied which would be good as its a slim design. The box it comes into says "sensory pleasure," bit cheesy.

Summary: Overall an excellent camera for those who want beauty and function.
