Product Description
Manufacturer Description
Samsung's 10-megapixel NV40 features elite NV-Series technology, such as the revolutionary Smart Touch user interface, and also incorporates a new DRIM Engine image processor, for enhanced image quality and speed. Combined with the NV40's premium 3x optical zoom Schneider lenses, the new DRIM Engine yields outstanding image quality, producing some of the sharpest, most clear and color accurate images available today. As the highest-performing imaging sensor found in Samsung's extensive array of digital cameras, the DRIM Engine also boasts a drastically improved shutter lag, shot-to-shot time and processing speed.

The highest performing imaging sensor found in Samsung's extensive array of digital cameras, the DRIM Engine also boasts a drastically improved shutter lag, shot-to-shot time and processing speed.
The NV40's Dual Image Stabilization also adds to the shooting experience. Dual Image Stabilization combines both Samsung's improved Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) modes. When selected, OIS and DIS work simultaneously to provide blur-free images.
In keeping with the NV-Series' philosophy of encouraging users to get the most out of their camera's robust functionality, Samsung has included a new, secondary Photo Style Selector (PSS) dial. Located on top of the cameras, opposite the standard mode dial, which allows you to set the NV40 to a designated shooting mode, the new PSS dial represents a revolution in both design and functionality. Empowering the shooter's thumb, the PSS dial brings a host of creative effects to the fingertip, allowing the user effortless access to seven types of color profiles, including Soft, Vivid, Forest, Retro, Cool, Calm and Classic.
On the back of the camera's brushed black, stainless steel body lies Samsung's Smart Touch user interface. Smart Touch enables easy navigation of the comprehensive feature sets by simply sliding a finger across the control buttons positioned around the 2.5-inch LCD screen, which will automatically brighten or dim depending on the current lighting situation. For reviewing and sharing images with others, the NV40 also feature an intuitive Multi-Slide Show. With Multi-Slide Show, you can play back images using five different slide transitions and can also have their images set to scroll to the cameras' preloaded music or their own favorite MP3 files.
Users can also take advantage of advanced features such as Face Detection and Self Portrait mode. Face Detection technology makes taking pictures of family and friends a snap, as it detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality. Self Portrait mode is a unique functionality that takes the guessing out of taking a self portrait. By utilizing Face Detection technology, the NV40 automatically detect the subject's face, adjusts focus and exposure, and will only allow a photo to be taken if the subject is centered in the frame. Additionally, with the ability to shoot at ISO 3200 and 14 scene modes to choose from, including Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-Up, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, Café, Food, and Self Portrait, shooters can effortlessly adjust the NV40 and capture the best image possible in any setting.
The NV40 also boasts a Function Description feature. Designed to reduce the intimidation factor of the camera's various modes, the Function Description automatically provides a brief and easy to understand description of each setting when scrolling through the cameras' menus, helping the end-user determine which setting is appropriate for their current shooting scenario.
The NV40 digital camera also has the ability to record at VGA resolution (640x480) at a maximum frame rate of 30fps. Shooters can also take advantage of movie stabilizers and 3x optical zoom while recording video and with Samsung's Successive Recording mode, pause, and then resume filming without having to save the clips as individual files.

Comparing to NV10,
By
This review is from: Samsung NV40 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilization Zoom (Black) (Electronics)
I bought the upgrade to my old camera (the NV10) because I was excited about all the new features. I believe the file quality is better, the noise is less apparent, the ISO has a better range, and the flash is no longer a pop-up, which is great, because I used to always put my finger over it! There are a few changes that I don't care for. One being they changed the location of the charger/usb port to the side--it is harder to insert the cable and likely that I'll break off the rubber part they include to cover the port. With the old version, I never noticed the flash going off twice before taking the picture (which I assume is for focus or red eye), but now the delay is a hassle and when taking pictures of people, they assume the shot is taken and move before the shutter actually captures the image. I do like the new modes, they make it a little bit easier for beginners to use the program modes. I don't like that the black and white option is on the dial--it took me a few minutes while at an event to figure out why it was in black and white, when I had never set it to do that, and it's because the dial had accidently been turned while in my bag. So I would suggest getting to know the camera pretty well before taking it to something important (always a good plan anyway) because not all of the settings are ultra obvious to turn off or on. Overall, I think it's a very nice camera for a very reasonable price, there are just a few things that I'm not sure why they changed them from the original.

Retractble lens is easily damaged,
This review is from: Samsung NV40 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilization Zoom (Black) (Electronics)
I bought one of these for my wife and within two weeks it was no longer functioning because the lens could not 'open' and 'close' properly. We sent it in for repair/replacement and the exact same thing happened with a new camera within a day of using it.
I do not recommend this camera.
