Product Description
Representing the very best in compact camera technology, the SAMSUNG NV24HD boasts a 24mm wide-angle and a 3.6x optical zoom lens so you have a wider shooting range. Capture images and record videos in high definition - then watch them on your HDTV in high-quality 720p resolution. Images are richly colored, crisp and clear, simply the best quality available in a digital camera. Crystal-clear digital images can be viewed on a HDTV for the ultimate slideshow through a single HDMI cable. What's more, the NV24HD is enabled with Anynet+ technology, so all you need is one remote to take control of the action. A wider 180 viewing angle, enhanced color reproduction, ultra-high contrast ratio, and quick near-zero millisecond response time are just some of the advantages of this new, thinner, AMOLED screen. Unlike standard LCDs, the bright 2.5" AMOLED screen reduces the glare from sunlight so you can see your images under any lighting condition. Dual Image Stabilization eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time, even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) corrects even the tiniest of shakes. Whether you're indoors or out, snapping a landscape or friends around a table, the 24mm Ultra Wide Angle lens gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance and more flexibility for a greater variety of high-quality options. The 24mm Ultra Wide Angle is a perfect marriage of advanced versatility with the convenience of a stylish, compact camera. auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (only 3M) ISO 20MB Internal Memory (additional memory recommended to store more photos and video) Media Card Slot - SDHC Card (up to 8GB), MMC plus (up to 2GB) USB Connector, Video Output, DC Input Approximate Unit Dimensions - 3.9(W) x 2.4

 NOVICE October 8, 2008
I like the NV24HD my only compliant is the it features and abilities are difficult to learn and to remember. There's a lot to learn and a lot to read, I wish that it were more simple and easier to use in taking full advantage of its abilities.
 Not so thrilled! September 24, 2008

When I saw this camera while a visiting friend from Germany was using it here, I was mightily impressed. He had taken pictures from the plane, showing the glaciers on Iceland, and these were stunning in sharpness and detail. So I ordered the camera for myself that same day. I found that getting used to the cross-reference button system on the back is very awkward, because the documentation coming with the camera is more than poor. The dials on the top left and right will display their functions on the rear view screen, but it is so fast and short, one has no time to actually read what it is. So that makes it a guessing game of frustration. The camera is best used with a tripod for pictures, since 10.2 meg pixels are nice, but!! if you shake it even the slightest bit, say goodbye to sharpness.
It gets worse when taking video clips: One of the reasons why I bought this camera is that it claims you can zoom while taping, well, you can, but!!! no sound during zooming! And the zoom is so fast, it makes for a race car type take-off, no subtle zooming back and forth. Before you know it, you're all the way in or out. Not good at all. When I played back the first set of clips, I noticed that the sound track was finished playing back way before the images were, about 20 % faster. I called Samsung and they said my camera was defective. So, they suggested I have it repaired. When I told them I had not envisioned to buy a "new and already repaired" camera, they said that is the way it is, we do not replace flawed cameras, basically that I was unlucky to have gotten a bad apple. I could probably have waited and bought a refurbished one for less. Also, they expected me to pay for shipping in order to get it repaired. Not much of a customer friendly attitude, by my book.
Now, I am returning the little cam to Beach Camera, and they haggled with me over the situation: at first, they did not want to take it back, because I only called them after 5 weeks of the purchase. They let you return it up to 4 weeks only. When I told them that the product was flawed and malfunctioning according to Samsung, they finally agreed to take it back, but I had to haggle over the reduced reimbursement amount. They wanted to deduct 15%, I finally, after 3 conversations, got them to deduct 5 % of my purchasing price. I guess I'll return it for that and cut my losses. My conclusion is to stick with camera brands like Nikon, Canon, even Kodak, but no more Samsungs!
 Hole for tripod? September 4, 2008

Does this have a hole in the bottom to attach the camera to a tripod? I've seen no pictures of the bottom or specifications saying it does, and I want to use the camera to take pictures of rooms in houses I have for sale, rotating the camera on my tripod and stiching the pictures together afterwards.

 Defective Camera, Lame Service July 17, 2008

Bought a Samsung NV24HD digital camera from Amazon on May 24, 2008. When I tried to register it online, I'd get a message that it wasn't a valid serial number. I didn't give that much thought, thinking perhaps they hadn't caught up with their production. Today is July 17, 2008 and they still haven't caught up.
I have found the camera difficult to set, difficult to use, and I've been unable to download pictures from the SD card unless I put the card in my Canon camera which works fine. I loaded the Samsung Master software into two PCs running Windows Vista. Neither computer recognized the camera. After an hour on the Samsung tech line it was agreed the camera is defective. When I asked for an address where to send it, I was asked for the serial number. I read it off and they told me it is not a valid serial number. Upon speaking to a higher up it was finally admitted the camera was manufactured in April of this year, "but we probably haven't caught up.
Amazon refused to give me a full refund. They did tell me I could return the camera and I'd receive a partial refund. How much? I asked. That's up to the return department after they inspect the camera. Under those terms they could return me $25 bucks on a $300+ camera.
If I send it to Samsung for repair I will not actually be sending it to Samsung. While SONY maintains its own repair facilities, Samsung hires it out to someone on 6th Avenue in NYC. Would I buy another Samsung product? I don't think so.
