By Daniel Lim on Wednesday, Jan 9th 2008 No Comments

Samsung announced 2nd generation of NV series with portable multimedia player (PMP) technology. NV4 is an upgrade from last year 7.2mp NV3 digicam. The new hybrid digicam is like the popular camera phone with all-in-one multimedia for music, video and still image capture and playback. They aren’t any different if you knock the phone feature off.

Compare to NV3, the new PMP bumps the resolution up to 8 megapixels and added an improved version of digital Image Stabilization with $100 cheaper.
