Manual of product SMX-F400BN
Editorial note
The Samsung SMX-F400BN is a camcorder that stands out for its powerful 52x optical zoom, allowing for precise detail capture even from a distance. Its 2.7-inch LCD screen provides an immersive viewing experience, making it easier to frame and view shots. Additionally, compatibility with SD and SDHC memory cards offers appreciated storage flexibility, while its lightweight design of 220 g facilitates transport during travel. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The maximum video resolution of 720 x 480 pixels may seem insufficient compared to current standards, limiting video quality. Furthermore, the lack of an integrated flash can pose problems when shooting in low-light conditions, resulting in blurry or poorly lit images. The internal memory of only 16 MB is also very limited, necessitating frequent use of memory cards for adequate storage. Finally, although the weight is reasonable, it can become tiring during prolonged use without a tripod. In terms of user experience, the camcorder scores 78, indicating overall satisfaction due to its clear screen and features. Performance is rated at 70, reflecting the quality of the zoom but the limitations of video resolution. Battery life receives an impressive score of 85, thanks to its nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) technology. The design is rated at 80, while the value for money is 75, taking into account the features offered despite the limited internal memory. Finally, the features are rated at 72, highlighting adequate image quality while noting that the CCD sensor may be less performant than newer models.Score details
