Samsung Digimax NV30 Review

The Samsung Digimax NV30 is an affordable, attractive compact digital camera. Check out the Samsung Digimax NV30 review for all the ins and outs of this camera.




There are a lot of digital cameras that stand out from the rest because they have a sleek design and nice compact size with plenty of advanced features under the hood.

However, the price tags of most of these models give some customers a second thought as to whether or not this particular model is worth the purchase.

Samsung has a few pricey stylish models as well, but the Samsung Digimax NV30 is out to impress and be affordable as well and doesn't fail to add attractive features.

Samsung Digimax NV30 Camera Design

Samsung NV30 The Samsung NV30 shares just about all of the design features that are present in the more expensive NV40 model.

It has a more compact form than traditional cameras and the same aluminum body to give it added durability for increased resistance to corrosion, shocks, and scratches.

It does not come in any flashy colors other than black and silver, but the Blue Ring around the lens adds elegance to the durability.

It also has that curved design on the opposite end of the lens for a comfortable grip.

The back side shows the 2.5" display with fewer buttons since the mode dial is found above and the Smart Touch function is used to navigate the interface instead.



Samsung Digimax NV30 Camera Features

Samsung NV30 The Samsung Digimax NV30 strives for perfection without overhauling the megapixel count offering just 8.1 megapixels.

This may not be what professional photographers are looking for, but images larger than A2 sizes can still be printed.

Like other NV models, the Schneider lens 3x optical zoom lens is included to prevent chromatic aberration while enriching the high res images.

It also uses two types of stabilization technologies to correct contract and remove blurs with the Optical Image Stabilization taking care of the hand shakes while the Digital Image Stabilization handles the lighting.

It is also an ideal portrait camera to use with the Self Portrait feature highly recommended for people that need to take a quick snapshot of themselves.

The Face Detection technology kicks in by recognizing 3 faces in the self portrait while the sound cues help determine which shot has everyone in the picture. When taking other group shots, the Face Detection does more by capturing up to 9 people and applying the right focus and brightness settings.

No matter what types of photos are taking, contrast is automatically balanced as well as the exposure. Then the sharpness and saturation can be adjusted at five different levels to get a perfect final output without taking the photo to the photo editor.

Samsung Digimax NV30 Extra Features

Samsung NV30 The Smart Touch function provides a new way to interact with the interface, those that have used other cameras in the past may be confused with this interface, but once it is all learned, functions can be accessed in a quicker fashion.

The Multi Slide Show feature can also be used to present photos on the screen or TV while adding effects and background music to the creation.

Although the interface needs getting used to, functions are nicely described for beginners and there are plenty of ways to take nice quality photos with all the shooting modes available. The screen size may be small, but the style and durability make it a great recommend for its price.
