Samsung Camera has just released the fourth model of in its NV flagship series. The NV11 (pictured top) is a 10 Mega pixel that, “offers the same unique blend of style and technology that has set its predecessors apart from the field,” according to Samsung. So what sets the NV11 apart from the rest? Good question, SvenOnTech is told that the NV11, “Features a premium Schneider lens, as well as Samsung’s intuitive Smart Touch user interface which enables easy navigation of the camera’s comprehensive feature set by simply sliding a finger across its control buttons positioned around the 2.7” high definition LCD. Discerning photographers and tech enthusiasts will immediately recognize these two features as being among the hallmarks of the NV Series, along with the brushed black, stainless steel body and trademark Samsung blue ring located around the lens barrel.” Aah, okay, now we see.

Other highlights include 5x optical zoom, 1600 ISO, ASR image stabilisation system, 2.7” LCD screen, “Samsung’s Face Recognition technology, which detects a subject’s face, and automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality in portraits and other shots featuring people”, as well as MPEG-4 recording. All this for MSRP of $399.99.

Also just announced is the L74 Wide (pictured bottom) that yields a 28mm 3.6x Optical Zoom lens and a 3.0” Touch Screen LCD that is, according to Samsung, “Sure to turn heads.” The 7 mega pixel camera allows photographers to take wide-angle shots to squeeze more into each frame. The L74 also comes with a Tour Guide that, “Provides travel information covering 4,500 regions in 30 countries– helping users to plan trips and find their way while on the road.” Interesting. The 450 MB internal memory helps store that information though no details if users photos can be stored here temporarily. Like the NV11, the L74 also is equipped with Samsung’s Face Recognition and ASR image stabilisation system. A higher quality SVGA recording for MPEG-4 movies are found on this device. Available in the Spring here in North America like the NV11, the L74 wide will MSRP for $349.99.
