Samsung SMX-F34 Review
Review of Samsung SMX-F34by mistyfaucheux (13,175 pts ) , published Sep 17, 2009
Body and Dimensions
For just around $300 MSRP (or around $250 online), the Samsung SMX-F34 isn’t a baddigital camcorder. It’s easy to use and very compact. But, if you’re looking for somethingmore than just YouTube quality video, you may want to pass on thisbudget digitalcamcorder. The body of the SMX-F34 is nicely designed. It sits in the hand quite comfortably. The strap allows you to move from an underhand position to the top while never havingto actually remove your hand from the strap. The dimensions of thecamcorderare quite small (2.4 X 2.4 X 4.9 inches, weighing only11.2 ounces), which means that you can easily fit it into a backpack or perhaps even a jacket pocket. The LCD screen is the standard 2.7 inches. Video resolution for video is720x480 and 800x600 for photos. This is pretty comparable to every otherdigitalcamcorderin this price range.Most of the controls either sit on top or within the LCD screen, and they’re easy tohandle, especially the zoom button. One neat feature in the LCD screen is the iCheck. This allows you to see how much battery life and storage space is left when thecamcorder is turned off. When the camcorder is on, this information will show up on yourLCD screen’s display.
Features
 You can take up 380 minutes of video and have 180 minutes of battery life. The batterylife should last you a while before you need to recharge. It has a 34x zoom lens, which isnice. While the zoom is great, the camcorder doesn’t come with optical imagestabilization. So, while you can zoom out really far, the electronic image stabilization isn’t just as good as optical image stabilization.
