Since Samsung introduced its premium NV (New Vision) range of high-spec digital compact cameras in the summer of 2006, the company’s fortunes in the digital camera market have dramatically improved, and looking at the NV8 it’s easy to see why.
Launched in August last year alongside the similarly-styled 10-megapixel NV15 and 12-megapixel NV20, the NV8 is a very stylish 8-megapixel pocket compact camera featuring a 3x zoom Schneider Kreuznach lens, a 2.5-inch 230k monitor and a wide range of options all operated by Samsung’s innovative Smart Touch control system.The camera’s smart contemporary design is obviously an important selling point, but unlike a lot of fashion cameras it doesn’t sacrifice usability for style. The distinctive shape, which it shares with many other models in the NV range, is very easy to hold, with a large handgrip on the front with a rubberised insert for extra grip, and a protruding thumb grip on the back that also doubles as the strap lug.
