Camera Overview — Samsung NV15

The Samsung NV15 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/1.7-inch sensor capable of delivering 10MP stills at a maximum resolution of 3648x2736 pixels. Housed in a metal body measuring 97 x 60 x 19 mm and weighing 152g, the NV15 strikes a balance between portability and a premium feel that sets it apart from plastic-bodied competitors in its category. The camera features a 2.5-inch Fixed LCD display with 230,000 dots for image review and composition, making framing straightforward in everyday shooting conditions.

For focusing, the NV15 relies on a contrast detection autofocus system. Image stabilization is handled digitally, with the camera's Digital/Electronic IS system helping to reduce the appearance of camera shake in handheld shots. The ISO range runs from 80 to 3200, giving shooters some flexibility across different lighting environments.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or the camera's built-in internal storage. Video recording tops out at 640x480 at up to 30fps or 15fps. Connectivity includes USB, and a built-in flash is present for low-light situations.

Power comes from a Samsung SLB-0837 Lithium-ion battery. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is included.
