Ice-blue eyes coldly meet the rear-view mirror. Engines rev. Dashboard needles flick wildly. Tyres squeal... and we remember that we're not in Bullitt and we're not Steve McQueen, we're just playing with a camera. But the Samsung NV9, a 10.2-megapixel point-and-shoot, sports a look and packs a bunch of features that make it as cool as the Cooler King himself.
You also get optical image stabilisation, and a 5x optical zoom. Once an image is taken, playback mode includes a recycle bin like the one on your computer, so deleting an image only sends it to the cooler, from where it can be busted out later if you change your mind.
Other features include Samsung's trademark charging system, which allows you to charge the camera via USB and cuts down on the number of leads you have to cart about. An excellent idea. Steve would approve.
The style fascist in you may approve of the Stalinist rewriting of history -- Stylinist? -- with the beauty shot feature. This automatically identifies imperfections, blemishes and other heinous crimes against pulchritude, and retouches the offending ugger until their face is fixed. There are different level settings so you can control the amount of retouching that takes place: set faces on 'stunner'.
The Samsung NV9 comes in silver, black and pink. It'll set you back a cool £150, which we think is pretty darn reasonable for such a cool customer. Hit 'Continue' for more of the NV9's nifty touches.
