Samsung F40 Ultra Zoom Camcorder (Red) Reviews

I want to preface this evaluation with a comment. If you are expecting that this camera is going to place out Substantial Definition good quality videos and be incredible in reduced light situations, then you are searching at the wrong camera. In truth, MOST cameras will have problems in low light situations. The camera was not designed for HD, clearly, so that expectation should go out the window.

All round, the camera is great. Purchased for 5 from Amazon’s site at the end of March 2010. The camera has outstanding zoom and picks up sound really effectively. The reason that the camera was bought was to capture golf shots between buddies. It is very lightweight and very easily fits inside the compartments of our golf carts/bags. It’s nonetheless a bit huge to fit into my pants to the point exactly where I feel cozy taking a golf shot. Never get me wrong, it is even now little and CAN match into your pant pockets. I just never like the feel of it when I take golf shots.

I had deemed buying the Flip HD and Kodak zi8 (which I do have) and must say that even though the kind variables on the handheld camcorders is far better from a size standpoint, you merely can not beat the advantages of this camera.

For individuals of you who are concerned about the battery existence, let me assure you that the 4.5 hrs of battery lifestyle is certainly genuine. I tested it these days because I was skeptical about it as well. This ‘concern’ came about because the battery indicator light is not created effectively and seems to drain more rapidly than it genuinely does. At one point, there have been zero bars on the indicator but the camera continued taking video for an added 45 minutes.

Here’s a compilation video of different clips taken below numerous problems. We bought this camcorder when it went on sale at a nearby retailer. To summarize &amp confirm a couple of complaints:
~ it does have poor quality shots in low light shooting
~ photos are taken in 2M so they are not the very best good quality either

Issues I liked about the camcorder:
* rather very good battery existence
* great zoom capability
* microphone picks up sound extremely effectively
* lightweight, tiny, at ease &amp effortless to use
* enjoy the “plug &amp play” into either a laptop or Television

General, for the value, this is a good simple starter camcorder.
