Samsung NV30 - Test Shots - Exposure Evaluation

Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality, including the zoom range of the lens. Some pictures may be clicked to download the full size original image.

----



The wide angle end of the zoom range is only 37mm, which looks a bit pants compared to the 24mm wide angles on a few recent compacts.

----



The telephoto end is equivalent to 111mm, barely enough for a good portrait shot.

----



Colour reproduction is very bright, but notice the red fringes around the bright yellow flowers.

----



The NV30 doesn't like very bright lights or colours.

----



This looks nice, until you look up to the right.

----



Some very nasty fringing around burned-out highlights.

----



The exposure meter tends to sacrifice highlights in favour of shadow detail.
