Smooth and Sharp
By T. Cafferkey on 21 Mar. 2007
The NV 5 is one of the new series of cameras in the "NV range" for this year from Samsung. It slots neatly in the middle of the range, and is almost the twin of the NV 7, just lacking the mechanical "Optical Picture Stabilization (OPS)". It still has the Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) technology that prevents the degradation of image clarity and colour common to flash photography.

Overall this camera looks great in my mind. It is matt black with a large 2.5 inch screen with little or no writing to distract. Its flash is tucked away, and only pops up if needed, adding to the slightly retro look built on by the large lens and chunky mode selection dial. The gently curved body also reminds you of a film camera body from the 80's, just a lot smaller!

Its features are also very respectable. With a 7X Optical zoom, this places it very high in the market, where 3X has been the standard for so long. Although this does mean you have to have a larger lens, the benefits outweigh the costs massively when it comes to taking a great picture. The 7.2 mega pixel capability also means that you can take a great high quality photo, and uses the ubiquitous SD/MMC storage medium. The 2.5 inch TFT LCD screen is clear and sharp, and the speed of taking a photo is excellent, so no more missed shots. I could witter on all day about the technology packed into this very respectably priced offering from Samsung, but specification lists can give you all that you need for a true camera buff.

There are some negatives, the smart button system is intuitive but to a person unused to modern technology it could seem slow, as you need to click at least three times to delete a single shot, on buttons on opposite sides of the screen. Once though you have worked out this system, (not that hard) you are well on your way. A highly recommended purchase, slotting in neatly between your basic point and shoot and the cheaper SLR's available.

Amazing!
By Mr. T. Gregory on 20 Aug. 2007
Received the item today (ordered 13th) and am delighted. The camera has a fantastic interface, very easy to use once you're accustomed to it. Very high quality photos, incredibly fast with little delay between taking them.

I'm also pleasantly surprised at how customisable the camera is - for a compact it sports many features which you'd be more likely to find on an SLR. There is a full manual mode, with sliders to visually represent settings such as shutter speed, aperture and manual focus. Even in auto mode the brightness and "temperature" (saturation) of the photo can be quickly adjusted. Scene modes work well and the close up/macro mode is particularly impressive.

The huge 7x optical zoom is very effective, and Samsung's anti-shake algorithm does well to cut down any shake introduced by the zoom. It doesn't do quite so well at night, and it is always worth using a tripod if you want a crisp night photo.

All that is missing from the next model up (NV7) is optical stabilisation, a technology which I don't believe is worth the extra £80. If you want to look at manuals, they are available in the support section of the samsung cameras website, but you won't be able to find product details in the main camera gallery - the NV5 was/is produced for a restricted market.

All in all, buy it and you won't regret it. £100 is nothing for the quality of camera you're getting.

Fantastic!
By blondeanomaly on 14 Aug. 2007
I already own the Samsung NV3 which is a great little camera, but I wanted something with a good zoom for taking more long distance photos and this camera seemed perfect for the price. The pictures are high quality with the colours coming out really well, the anti shake facility is great and the touch buttons on the back are a good feature (once you get the hang of how to use them!). I was impressed with the zoom facility, and also the speed of photo taking.

It looks great as well, I love the old-fashioned lens with its cover - reminds me of a classic camera. The lens is quite big and sticks far out, but if you are buying this camera one of the reasons you will probably want it is for the zoom so it's not a problem.

I would definitely recommend this camera if you are looking for a decent zoom and quality pictures at a great price.

Brilliant Gift
By Wendy Smith on 28 Dec. 2007
I was bought this camera as a gift for christmas, and I am totally over the moon with it....I love photographs and think they are the ideal way to capture history and special memories, but in the past I have had the cheaper variety of camera, which always seems plastic and cheap. The Samsung is definately not that, you feel as if your holding a good sturdy camera even though it is very compact. It is going everywhere with me and I am so enjoying learning how to use it. It would have got 5 stars but the manual is a little difficult to understand for someone new to photography.....This camera has encouraged me to seek out an evening class to learn more.
An excellent gift that I would highly recommend to anyone.
