  • Samsung HMX-QF30 HD review

    It's all subpar... all of it. In full light, the video lacks detail, the edges ill-defined, and the colors are drab. Areas are easily overexposed, and digital artifacts are constant. Even in moderately low light, noise creeps in, resulting in fuzzy footage. Compared side by side with the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, it's tough to tell which is better. The colors certainly look better in the S4 footage, but the QF30 has better image stabilization. And it should, as the camcorder actually has optical image stablizaiton, while the smartphone does not.
