Our comment:
The Samsung NV30 seemed to be a power-packed camera despite its small and slim size. With its optical and digital image stabilization technology coupled with fast image processing speed, it would be interesting to see how the more advanced photo enthusiasts would appreciate this digital camera once it hits the store in April 2008. Until then, we could only gasped at its nice looking physical attributes.
