The seconds are ticking away, and Jack Bauer has only moments to save the day. He reaches into his pocket and produces the right gadget for the job... the Samsung NV24HD compact camera. Because he's on holiday and he wants to take a photo. Let's face it, if anyone deserves a few days off, it's Mrs Bauer's little boy.
CTU always has the best gadgets, so Jack will feel right at home with the NV24. It's a clever little 10.2-megapixel compact. Features include high-definition pictures and video, for insanely detailed close-ups of Jack looking stoic. It goes up to ISO 3,200 for low-light situations such as abandoned warehouses and Chinese prisons, or you could just use the pop-up flash. Face detection focuses and exposes for up to nine faces, which coincidentally is how many people Jack can kill just by blinking.
Surveillance missions are aided by a 3.6x optical zoom. It's also one of the widest-angle compacts on the market, with a stunning 24mm focal length, equivalent to a 35mm camera.
You also get dual image stabilisation, which shifts the sensor and jiggles the algorithms to take care of blur from camera shake, if Jack's still got any lingering cold-turkey issues. The NV24HD is available now in silver or black for around £160. Click through to see some more features that make Jack's day. -Rich Trenholm
