Considering this digital camera’s retro style, long zoom lens, 7.2 megapixels, Smart Touch interface, and optical picture stabilization technology, the $399 price tag seems close to a fair price. If I was on The Price is Right, I would have lost because I would have guessed fifty bucks cheaper. The Samsung NV7 does have all that technology along with manual controls, but the pictures aren’t crystal clear and gorgeous. To me, the specs sound cool but the final production model will have to produce far superior image to justify the $399 price tag.

 

Point-and-Shooters – Consumers in this category may wonder what all the manual control is about, but the Auto mode and the menu interface are still so simple to use they may not care.

 

Budget Consumers – Looking for a digital camera? If you have arthritis or are simply tired of banging on the traditional multi-selector, the Samsung NV7 would be a good value for you. But if you’re looking for a manually-controlled compact digital camera, you can find one that takes better pictures for $399.

 

Gadget Freaks – With the optical picture stabilization, text recognition extraction to documents, and Smart Touch interface, the NV7 will be the new hit with gadget freaks.

 

Manual Control Freaks – These consumers should be perfectly content with the Samsung NV7 with its manual, priority, and program modes. There are plenty of manual controls and even a few rarities such as Kelvin color temperature adjustments and a decent manual focus mode.

 

Pros / Serious Hobbyists – Photographers in this category will look past the glitz and glam of the screen interface and 7x lens and will wonder why there is shutter lag and blurry images on a hefty retro camera in 2006.
