While Samsung has been improving its digital camera options since they started in the business. Many of their models still aren't value leaders in their respective class.
They're NV* line has quite a lot of ISO noise. If you do not know what this means don't worry. All it means to you is that pictures will have a tendancy to be grainier especially when in low light situations.
This line also, in my opinion, tries to fool the consumer who think that the more megapixels a camera has the better pictures it takes. While in theory this would be true, in practice megapixels are one of the things you should be least concerned about.
Any camera 4-5MP and higher will take great quality prints and be able to print 8 x 10's and larger with ease. A typical consumer has no need for a 10 MP camera. To make things wose, when companies try to pack more resolution(MP) into the same size sensor, noise tends to increase as well. This is why I said before that these cameras do tend to exhibit quite a bit of high ISO noise.
I would recommend looking elsewhere depending on what you want. Canon's SD*** line is quite popular for a pocketable camera that can take good quality pictures. Fuji's F20 and F30 take great low noise pictures so they are especially good for indoors and low light shots. If you anticipate this being your typical use for the camera, definitely give these models a look.
Sony has also done a good job with their latest W50 and W100 models. The only downside their is their proprietary memory stick format which is a little less universal that the SD card used by Canon and a few other vendors.
Most of all, go and try out the cameras in stores. See which models have too many options and which have too few. Some will be covered in buttons and may confuse the casual user while the more advanced user will want these controls.
Happy shopping...

While it might be all right, there are much better choices for about the same price. I would choose a camera from a camera manufacturer, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Kodak or Fuji.
I use an older Samsung camera at work for digital passport pictures. I am completely unimpressed by its performance.

the three outstanding-promotion digital digicam manufacturers in 2006 were Canon, Sony, and Kodak, in that order. Olympus replaced into as instantly as fourth, and Samsung displaced Nikon for fifth. besides the easy undeniable actuality that, the volume of professional photographers who use Samsung kit might want to now now no longer be measured making use of smooth seismic gadgets.

No, Samsung isn't a good camera brand. You should go with CANON

The NV line isnt too bad and the NV10 has a cool setup. But I beleave there are better brands to pick. I would get a Casio or a Canon.
