>>Best Ultracompact Digital Camera: Samsung NV24HD

Wow, is this based on features or image quality? Samsungs have notoriously poor image quality, so I wonder about this award. I’ve been lusting after one of their NV cameras for their design and interesting UI, but eventually backed out because the reviews were unanimous in their poor image quality.

And that’s why you buy a camera in the first place right? ;)
