Tech Digest has reviewed the Samsung NV3 recently and like the digicam for its sleek design, its gunmetal grey color and its compact and lightweight body. What they didn’t dig was the camera shake mode which was ineffective and its long shutter lag.

The Samsung NV3 promises great imagery via its 7 MP image sensor and the onboard Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) technology. The ASR technology not only enhances the image but also assures that there no blurry shots as it automatically compensates for hand shakes and poor lightening conditions. While the digicam may just measure about 3.7" x 2.2" x 0.7" but it does sport a sufficiently large LCD which measures 2.5 inches. This one is just not a camera but also a bonafied multimedia player. The patented Digimax Converter software lets one play and enjoys movies and MP3 files on the go. NV3 can playback video formats like MPEG, AVI, MOV, WMV and ASF and audio formats like MP3 and WAV. The NV3 can record in VGA (640x480) at 30fps and includes options 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.

In the end the website writes "This is a really nice compact camera. The number of megapixels means that you can always be sure of getting a high quality picture, and there are enough features to make the most of what you’ve got. Whether it would ever be used as a media player as they intend is up for debate. Personally, I think it’s trying to do everything, and not succeeding in many, and would never replace my other devices with this alone. But if you’re pushed for space, or want to minimise luggage, it might just work.”
