Samsung specs?

Looking at the Samsung NV's i6, i70 and soon the i7 - want to get an all
rounder, high MP camera, video taker and MP3 player.

Does anyone know how sophisticated the MP3 player is in any of these? are
play lists allowed / random play etc I've read that the NV3 is very basic
but can't find out about the others even though the i6 is available (Samsung
cust service completely missed the point of my query and sent a standard
reply)

Thanks if you take the time to answer

I don't know how sophisticated the embedded mp3 players are, but
from general experience with several standalone mp3 players, I'd
guess that the Samsung mp3 players are bottom feeders. My most used
mp3 players are small, one about the size of an AA battery and the
other a little more than twice the size. Both can fit in a shirt
pocket with room for many more. If I had one the size of even the
smallest of the Samsung cameras, if I used it at all it would only
be indoors. One of my mp3 players uses a permanently installed
Li-Ion battery, so it's unsuitable for taking on trips if I won't be
near a computer, since it can only recharge using a USB port. The
larger one uses a single AA battery that lasts for 50 hours, so that
can go anywhere. I'd suggest checking to see if any of the Samsung
cameras have manuals that can be downloaded. If so, you'll probably
be able to determine how sophisticated they are with respect to
playing mp3 files. Most of the manuals I've seen give the number of
shots you can expect per battery charge as well as the number of
hours of viewing time you can get from the camera's LCD display. If
the Samsung manual doesn't state how many hours of mp3 playing time
its Li-Ion batteries are good for, you might want to assume "not
many".

I've found that many mp3 players don't handle playlists properly.
Some don't even use lists that you create, but create their own,
based on their own rules, and sometimes this causes problems. I
consider good bookmarks to be very important. Not just the ability
to have one or two, but to have many, and for them to be able to
return to any position within a track, not just to the beginning of
a track. That's important if you have very long tracks, such as 30
minutes, 60 minutes or longer. You're unlikely to have any
questions about these considerations answered by sales people, so
being able to read the manual prior to purchase is important. I may
be mistaken, but I think that you'll be disappointed by Samsung's
built-in mp3 players. Since they make standalone mp3 players
there's a chance they'll have created nice implementations for the
cameras, but I have doubts. They seem as much the gimmicks for
geeks as the wris****ches that had tiny keypads, doing double duty
as simple, awkward calculators. YMMV.

You can download the actual manuals in .pdf format from the
http://www.samsungcamera.com/ -website.
The info you are looking for should be in there. At least the manual for my
Samsung DSLR is very well written and comprehensive.

Thanks cgiorgio! got a manual for the i6, but the i7 and i70 will be there
'soon' looks like they are 'lauched' but not 'out' yet - if anyone has seen
one I love to hear from them!
