Samsung’s new NV line is easily the most serious attempt by the consumer electronics giant to crack the crowded space atop the digital camera market share heap, but it may be “too much too late.” The NV7, at roughly $450, is a technology tour de force, featuring 7 MP resolution, 7x optical zoom, requisite German optical partner lens and multiple image stabilization techniques all in a package well under an inch thick. It also has a new user interface.
The NV3 seems less interesting with a more standard 3x optical zoon and a more gimmicky integrated media player.
It will be very interesting to see how the digital photography review sites rate these.
