Samsung NV30

The Samsung NV30, part of the NV series release in mid 2008, is a feature-packed digital camera that appears designed to make versatile snapshots easy for the average consumer. Scene modes, face detection, a self-portrait mode (designed to optimize focus and flash exposure for the average distance of a camera held at arm's length) and dual image stabilization make it simple for users to get the right settings.

Further customization is available through contrast, sharpness, white balance, saturation, color effect and photo style adjustments. For users who want total control, a manual mode allows aperture and shutter speed selection. Movie and macro modes are also included. The metal body is available in black or silver. Reviews place the image quality as good to very good, and particularly high considering the camera's low price point.
