Samsung NV40

The Samsung NV40 features a 10.5 megapixel 1/2.33" CCD image sensor behind a Schneider-Kreuznach Varioplan branded 3x optical zoom lens with a fairly typical equivalent focal length of 37-111mm. The lens includes optical image stabilization, and Samsung combines this with anti-shake software in still and video modes.

The NV40 has a 2.5-inch LCD screen with an above-average resolution of 230,000 pixels for framing and viewing images, but like many ultra-compacts, no optical viewfinder is provided.ISO ranges from 80 to 1600, with 3200 available at reduced resolution (3 megapixels or less). The NV40's metering modes include multi, spot, center-weighted and face detection, and the camera offers 14 scene modes to choose from, including Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, Coffee, Food, and Self-Portrait.

The Samsung NV40 has the ability to record movies in VGA resolution (640x480) at a maximum frame rate of 30 fps and supports optical zoom when recording videos. Additional features of the NV40 include the Samsung's Smart Touch user interface, a secondary Photo Style Selector (PSS) and multi-slideshow.Images are stored on SD, SDHC or MMC cards, plus 20MB of built-in memory, and the NV40 draws its power from a custom lithium ion battery.

The Samsung NV40 first ships from March 2008 at an MSRP of $329.
