I got this camera about a month ago. I am enjoying it. PDF manual is where all the expanation are.
It is “point and shoot photography for idiots” per excellent.
If you are too lazy to do it manually switch to scenes, it does the job well.
Another amazing thing I discovered with this camera is the HIGH SPEED, CONTINUOS shooting. If you ever want capture children playing, how about a burst of 17 frames per second. That just blew me away.
If you don’t have a tripod, don’t count on getting sharp images in low light from this camera though. The anti shake device is hit and miss. Use an SLR for that.
Overall, this beautifully designed 10 gig in my pocket is a winner.

To say that it was a bad purchase because you aren't able to experiment with the camera's new and extremely easy to use system (though longwinded sometimes) is entirely your own fault. They have a website that allows a download of a PDF manual along with the CD THAT CAME WITH IT.

Otherwise, the little tank is fantastic. Quick and easy.

I just bought the NV11. Very BAD move. The camera is sleek and the resolution is great, but here is the biggest downfall…how do you work it? Lots of menu items, dozens of symbols and NO mention in the very brief users manual what all this means. You have heard of plug and play, that is exactly what you have to do, just play with all the setting and symbols until you mess up enough pictures to figure out what all the symbols and cryptic letters mean!! They need some serious help here, actually I do. I’d love to learn how to use the camera, but don’t want to sacrifice the botched shots and lost time on my busy schedule for their lack of an adequate manual. Looks like I’ll throw it in the drawer and use my Nikon that came with a real users manual, which I don’t use anymore because I know how to use my Nikon SLR. The NV11 is useless because it comes with a manual that virtually explains nothing!!!
