Samsung cameras

Has anyone got any experience with these Samsung cameras:

L77 ($270, 7MP, 7x zoom)

NV11 ($280, 10MP, 5x zoom)

They have impressive specifications, but what kind of picture quality
do you get? Does anyone have any photos online that were taken with
either of these cameras?

For added appeal, I think the NV11 runs Linux.

Impressively small pixels! Check Figure 6 at:

the small pixels plot at the bottom of the trend
of all sensors. This means poor low light/high ISO
performance. But if you take images in high light
situations, the sensor could deliver nice images
(check reviews of the camera + lens system--I'm commenting
on the effects of pixel size only).
