This digital camera has decent image quality, relatively quick performance, and full manual controls.

Smart Touch interface isn't for everyone; No aperture/shutter priority mode; fringing plagues photos.

If you can get past its unusual interface and sluggish performance, the Samsung NV10 is a nice digital snapshot camera with some great manual features.
