Generally, some of the advantages of the Samsung NV100HD compared to travel zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.8 vs f/3.5), has a slightly larger screen (3" vs 2.7"), is much smaller (super compact (95×60×20 mm) vs compact (105×58×33 mm)), has a touch screen and is thinner (0.8" vs 1.2").
However, on average it has a significantly narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 24 mm), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 3,200 ISO), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is older (july 2008 vs june 2012) and has a slower max shutter speed (1/2000 of a second vs 1/4000 of a second).
