Samsung is flooding the digital photo press with press releases and advertising for its new line of compact digital cameras – the NV3, NV10, and NV7 OPS. All cameras boast a new all-black and very thin design, innovative new menu system, and aggressive pricing.

The NV3 is a 7 megapixels camera with 38-114mm zoom, a 2.5" LCD and is 17.5mm thin! It can also be used as an MP3 player (?) with stereo sound. Amazon lists the NV3 for $299.

The NV7 OPS is a 7 megapixels camera with 38-270mm zoom and offers both Optical Picture Stabilisation (OPS) and Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) to eliminate blur. It is 21mm thick with the lens collapsed (when switched on with the lens extended thickness is 35.7mm). Amazon lists the NV7 OPS for $399.

The NV10 is a 10 megapixels camera with a 35-105mm zoom, 2.5" LCD, anti-shake reduction, a manual mode and 18.5mm thick! Amazon lists the NV10 for $349.
There is yet little hands-on information about these cameras on the web, the cameras being scheduled to be on the market mid-September.
Earlier this week the NV10 won the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA represents some 52 magazines from 18 European countries) award in the Compact Camera category (other camera winners included the Nikon D200 and Canon 5D).
