It was very cumbersome to record videos in the past. However, the situation is not the same now. Everyone is attracted towards social networking websites like YouTube, Orkut, MySpace, Facebook etc. and they put a lot of videos there. Camcorder companies are launching a lot of latest pocket-size camcorders. Now, Samsung has also launched Samsung SMX-F34 that has better storage capacity and optical zoom than Flip camcorders.
The features of Samsung SMX-F34 are:
1. 16GB internal memory and SDHC card slot
2. 34x zoom lens
3. Electronic Image stabilization
However, still the Samsung SMX-F34 has following drawbacks like:
1. No optical image stabilization
2. Slow Auto-focus
Design:
Samsung SMX-F34 has a shape which resembles to a can of soda. Its hand strap is mounted in the middle. The company has introduced swivel-grip feature that allows you to change from underhand shooting to overhand without removing the hands from strap. The SMX-F34 comes in red, blue, silver and black colors. The entire body of the camcorder is made up of plastic.
Controls:
You will find Mode button, shutter release and zoom rocker on the top of Samsung SMX-F34. Mode has the options for Playback, Photos and Movies. There is a door located at the bottom backside, which covers DC input for power, mini-USB port and a 3.5mm A/V jack. You will find a spring-made power button and a record button on the right side of jack cover. The SDHC card slot and battery compartment are located behind the sliding door at the bottom. Three more buttons: Easy Q, LCD enhancer and iCheck are located behind the LCD display.
Observed Quality:
The overall video quality of Samsung SMX-F34 is good for its class. The video is soft, but has grainy look with compressed artifacts and interlaces. Moreover, the low light performance is also not good. The auto-focus is slow in both bright and dim light. The colors and exposure are good, but the highlights looked blown out. The overall video quality is only good for online video sharing Web sites.
