Description — Samsung NV20
The Samsung NV20 is a 12MP point-and-shoot camera wrapped in a brushed black metal body that measures just 97 x 60 x 19 mm and weighs 152g — genuinely pocketable for daily use. It captures stills at up to 4000x3000 pixels and supports a burst mode at 2 frames per second for brief action sequences. Autofocus combines Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF, making it particularly handy for portraits.
The camera features Digital/Electronic IS to help manage camera shake. Creatively, six color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, Negative, and Custom Color Effects — give you meaningful in-camera image control. Video records at up to 480p at 30fps or 15fps.
The 2.5-inch TFT LCD with 230,000 dots is your primary framing tool. ISO runs from 80 to 3200, and the built-in pop-up flash covers Auto, On, Off, Auto red-eye, and Slow Sync modes. Storage options include SD, SDHC, and internal storage, with USB handling wired connectivity.
