A review of the Samsung NV3 has been done by CNET where they write, 'The Samsung NV3 performs decently as a digital camera. With a shutter lag of 0.9 second and a shot-to-shot time of 2.9 seconds, it won't win any prizes for speed, but it's responsive enough for casual shooting. Burst mode disappointed, shooting 28 images in 33 seconds for a rather sluggish rate of 0.84fps.'

'With solid images and a decent multimedia feature set, the Samsung NV3 is a very nice Jack-of-all-trades camera. Casual users will probably appreciate having their snapshots, music, and notes all in one iPod-size device. The camera's awkward movie playback and its lack of playlists prevents it from being a great dedicated media player, but it still offers enough functionality to give you some tunes when you're not shooting.'

The group at Trusted Reviews has a review on the Samsung Digimax Pro 815 where they write, 'The Samsung Pro815 is a truly superb camera, with superior build quality, outstanding design, a great range of versatile, creative and in some cases unique features, very good performance and outstanding picture quality. The only real let-down is the sluggish autofocus, but other than that it’s a serious alternative to a digital SLR.'

A review on the Samsung Digimax GX-1L was done by Steve's Digicams where they write, 'we like what is essentially its clone, the Samsung GX-1L, equally well. With a price point that overlaps well into consumer digicam territory, the GX-1L offers a compelling choice to upgraders, providing dSLR versatility and better high ISO image quality in a lightweight and compact package. Point-n-shoot upgraders can make the jump to a dSLR without a steep learning curve thanks to its array of automatic and scene modes, while learning how to use the camera's more advanced shooting modes and features at their own pace. Providing only 6-megapixels of resolution, the GX-1L may suffer in a direct comparison of specifications, but its $599 MSRP with 18-55mm kit lens, very good image quality, small size and light weight make it a good value and quite worthy of consideration.'

There's a complete review on the Samsung Digimax Pro 815 by CNET where they state, 'The Samsung Digimax Pro 815's performance was less than stellar in our tests. It took 2.2 seconds to start up and capture its first image, and images thereafter took 1.8 seconds without flash and 2.6 seconds with flash. But those sluggish numbers don't tell the whole story, since those refer to capturing JPEG images. Once you switch to raw or TIFF, things get really slow. The Pro 815 took 18.7 seconds between raw images, and a horrifically slow 28 seconds between TIFFs. Continuous shooting wasn't very fast either. At full resolution, the camera captured an average of 0.64fps, though it jumped to 2.62fps when capturing VGA resolution stills.' 'Given its flaws, it's difficult to recommend the Samsung Digimax Pro 815.'

The group at CNET have a review on the Samsung Digimax S500 where they write, 'Exposures were generally accurate, though images were slightly soft and had noticeable fringing in highlights, especially with backlit subjects. We also noticed JPEG artifacting, which lent a choppy look to some curved edges.

Given that Samsung has shown that it is capable of making cameras that capture pleasing images, such as the Digimax L85 and the Digimax L60, there's little excuse for its S-series cameras turning in pictures that are plagued by artifacts and other noise. So, while the Digimax S500 certainly has a feature set that looks decent, you're better off spending a little more on one of Samsung's better-performing cameras, or looking at another brand altogether, such as Nikon's Coolpix L3.'

The crew at Macworld review the Samsung Digimax GX-1S digital camera where they write, 'The GX-1S is a well-built, well-designed camera that is very small, but doesn’t feel cramped. Even if you have large hands, you will be able to get a firm, comfortable grip on the camera. The controls are very simple: it has a power switch, a mode-selection dial, and exposure compensation control on the top, alongside a status LCD. The back of the camera holds a bright, 2.5-inch LCD screen, some button controls, and a four-way rocker switch to select further options.'

The group at CNET reviewed the Samsung Digimax L85 where they write, 'The Samsung Digimax L85 is a solid performer, despite disappointing continuous-shooting speed. After a speedy 2.2-second start-up, we recorded a pretty standard shot-to-shot rate of 2.2 seconds. With the onboard flash enabled, we could still shoot once every 3 seconds. Recording to TIFF, the camera took 7 seconds to cycle between shots, one of the quickest among point-and-shoot cameras with TIFF support. Its 0.6-second shutter lag in good light is pretty middle-of-the-road and rises to a more mediocre 1.3 seconds with flash. The real disappointment was burst mode, shooting 25 full-resolution shots in slightly less than 33 seconds for a sluggish 0.8 shot per second. In addition, the flash is pretty weak for such as large camera, extending out to only 9 feet in Auto ISO.'
