Performance
The NV3’s overall performance was just ok for digicam in this range. The pictures are pretty clear in normal view but in full view you’ll notice that it’s not all that appealing.
In normal lighting conditions the pictures are clear but a few details are a bit fuzzy and slight watercolor-like blotches can be noticed. Not all of the details are too crisp. Close ups are clear enough unless you inspect them a little closer, you'll find the colors do tend to fade at the edges.
The colors appear well saturated unless you shoot in bright sunlight, where the saturation ends up in a slight burnt-out effect. The colors also go a bit dark around the edges.
When using the Night mode, it takes at least 25-30 seconds to capture the image and another 25-30 seconds to process it. The outcome may be quite good actually, but who really has so much of time to spend for each shot in the dark.
Close ups are no too bad. The camera picks up the colors quite well but again the detail is compromised a bit.
As a suggestion for those who find a photo op anywhere remove the start up screen and your NV3 will boot in just under 2 seconds. It also takes only a second between shots and in burst mode it’s quick and smooth.
I bought this camera and i like it.Recording video is smooth also.
