The ultra-sleek Samsung NV10 has been reviewed by Hardware Zone and love it for its stylized design, sleek ergonomics, and the included remote and overall performance. What they didn’t dig was the digicam’s tendency to produce noise at ISO 400 and higher and the lack of a USB port built-in.

The Samsung NV10 is a throwback to the 70’s era and has a colossal 10 mega pixel resolution. Users will also like the innovative touch pad Graphical User Interface (GUI), Schneider 3x optical zoom lens (35-105mm equivalent), a 5x digital zoom and the brushed black aluminum body. This is a part of Samsung’s new line which sports a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for intuitive operation and includes a touch pad located along the LCD. The NV10 also includes the revolutionary Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) technology and can record in VGA (640x480) at 30fps and includes a movie stabilizer function for detecting and correcting minor shakes. It also includes additional effects and modes like Color Effect, Highlight, Photo Frame, Negative and Composite Shot. Scene modes include Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow and Text Recognition. It will be available in the fall of 2006 for $399.99.

They conclude by saying "Overall, the NV10 has a very attention grabbing retro design and we are quite satisfied with the camera’s ergonomics pertaining to the right hand grip design. It is a lovely camera that performs well over our expectations considering that Samsung does not have a long history at making cameras.”
