THERE’S no reason to travel these days without a digital camera, especially as you can fit some amazingly powerful ones inside your pocket. Samsung’s tiny and featherweight NV100 ($599) fits in your palm but boasts features usually found only on much more bulky ‘pro-sumer’ cameras. You get a resolution of 14.7 megapixels, which means you can take scenic shots, crop out a small portion of your picture to use, and still be left with enough visual quality to print out 4R-sized photos.

Although the NV100 functions well as a point-and-shoot camera, with snappy response and effective image stabilisation to make up for shaky hands, those who are inclined to tinker can use the camera’s intuitive touchscreen interface to adjust settings. The NV100’s automatic mode tends to over-expose pictures both with and without flash, so you might have to work a bit in tricky lighting, such as the top of a scenic hill at dusk.
