The interface is of the NV3 is pretty blah. It’s not as interesting or colorful as many others in this range but it’s not too hard to go through.
The 7.2 megpixels with 3x zoom does help with a certain amount of clarity but I’m not too impressed. But lets talk bout some of the other features like the mp3 player, text viewer and video player. What no FM radio?
The text viewer in a nutshell – only reads files with .TXT extensions but the 2.5 inch screen is utilized quite well in this feature.
The Mp3 player, through the built-in speakers sounds a bit crackly at best but in 3D mode it’s not easy to tell where the sound is coming from, seems like the entire camera emits the sound. Sound quality with the earphones is good with 7 preset EQs to choose from. The video player reads XviD, MPEG4 and AVI formats. Files can be dragged and dropped into respective folders and when the option is selected on the Jog Dial it automatically picks up the files.
For simple point-and-shoot users the Auto mode of the NV3 is the easiest mode to use and quality-wise the pictures aren’t so bad. Scene mode offers you the various options fro shooting like – Night mode, close ups, presets for shooting pictures of children, text, beach and snow and various lighting conditions. The Program mode is best for those who really want the best out of the camera by manually adjusting the various settings. There are very limited features for playing around with the images themselves. The NV3 has just the regular presets of black and white, sepia negative etc. nothing fancy.
The camera can be connected to any pict-bridge compatible printer and cables are provided to connect the camera to a monitor.
I bought this camera and i like it.Recording video is smooth also.
