Life is grand

A co-worker brought a Samsung NV10 over to my desk today and let me have a quick hands-on.

It looks great, the blue ring set against the brushed dark-grey skin works well. It feels even better, probably the best feeling compact camera I have held. The body feels like all metal and the whole camera has a nice weight to it. The mode dial operates smoothly and with a nice snick-snick as you enter each mode. Power-on is fast enough and everything I tried was pretty quick. The innovative interface on the back works. It took me half a minute to get used to it and then I was flying through the menus, setting ISOs between shots and generally changing settings a lot faster than even on my Canon EOS 20D.

I like the feel and operation of this camera. Now I just need to figure out if the picture quality is good enough and I may have found a compact camera I like.
