When Samsung first announced its NV-series of cameras, we thought the Korean chaebol finally did something right, at least in terms of design. In pictures, the NV-series looked alluring with a matte black exterior. Three units were launched under the NV umbrella, which comprised the NV3, NV10 and NV7 OPS. The NV3 is a stylish remake of the Digimax i50 and i6, while the NV10 is Samsung's contender in the megapixel race with a resolution of 10 megapixels. With the NV7 OPS, the company rounds up the series with the optically stabilized shooter in its consumer digicam lineup.

For most digicams, you'd almost inevitably be greeted with accompanying text labels for each button on the unit, but there is almost none of that on the NV7. For the record, the NV7 uses a new touch-sensitive menu navigation system. The 2.5-inch LCD panel is not a touchscreen, though. What you get is a row and a column of buttons, which will take you through the menus when you slide your fingers over them. Pressing the buttons will then confirm your selection.

The battery and SD memory card go into a compartment at the bottom of the unit, accompanied by a proprietary connector for the charger and a metal tripod receptacle.
