The Canon gives you a wider angle of video if you turn off Dynamic Image Stabilization and just use regular image stabilization. Also you should have done some low lighting comparisons, although to be honest none of these three models are going to give good video in dim light.

Thanks for this! You made a really nice comparison!

I bought and using. .. highly recommend. .. compare to many other camcorder its more like telescope...

My goodness! Excellent video! Very interesting, thanks

That video was really enjoyable. I liked the music and everything about it haha

I second that V ... Amazing Vid.... I was already thinking about getting the Samsung one.. and after watching this vid.. I have no doubts anymore.... In my opnion the samsung is also the one with the coolest design among them... Thanks a lot...

Thanks for this, very helpful.

So Helpful to me... Goooooooooooood!!!

Thnks for testing and sharing... helpful video

Great video -- thank you!!

this helped. thanks

thank you very much!! this was very helpful! :)

wow...very helpful. thanks

nice video. i would take quality before quantity. canon's cameras are the best on the market. they use top of the line processor chips and lenses. many professionals stand behind canon, they are the best. sony is second, they are ok. however, samsung comes in last. their products are cheap. in this case they offer more zoom, more battery life and a few more features to compensate for their lack in quality.

@miamad F40 however has longer battery life like 4hours or so while K40 has regular battery life.

aha amzing video! btw, what song did you put in the background? xP

thank for the video....

@thebibleastronaut Thanx for the tips but I found out that it was the usb cord that came with the camcorder. I found 1 I had laying around the house hooked it up and I have no more problems.

Awesome comparison.

Great video!! I love it!

thx :)

Think you a lot you help me a lot to buy my camera thinks again and keep sharing ( :

I love this camera and this video looks amazing.

Yea.. Samsung ever in first in, LED, digital camera with 2 displays.. ever on first on Innovation, please i not say is the bestt mark but is awesome.

I recently got the Canon FS300, I like it very much :) Now that you mention it though, maybe the Samsung F40 was a better choice... I just had no faith in it 'cos I couldn't test it out in stores & that Dual-view camera was just horrible.

@miamad K40 is the upgrade it has a pseudo-HD mode which the F40 doesn't have + I think you can't add filters on F40 while you can on K40.

if u buy the samsun, u dont need to use the software it comes with, right?

My god...the difference is stunning. I often tell any who listen about the garbage Sony churns out these days. Do they even make half of this stuff anymore or is the brand name just licensed out? Anyway....I need a cheap utilitarian camcorder and this Samsung fits the bill perfectly.

@Anomaly003 what the hell? i agree about the pictures not being great. but have you even tried messing with it. becaus there are diferent settings and options you can change to make it look good. like in daylight tv2000 mode makes every frame super clear with no blur at all. i personally think it takes great quality. look at some of my recent videos with fs300 in the description.

@TheTripleBstudios I'm getting a FS300 in the future.

since 2007 or 2008 samsung has been making products for sony, so its hard to say what you actually get between samsung and sony.

What was this filmed with?

is there a pause button on the samsung f40??

I have Samsung K40 which is an upgrade of the F40 it's only good for time lapse. in terms of picture, I tried the Canon FS30 not FS300 and it has better picture quality and ability to focus which the Samsung doesn't. Samsung pic mode is basically a frame shot from the video quality. while the Canon has an authentic photo-mode with even face-detection and ability to focus. So for the time-lapse go for Samsung. For pictures and versatility go for Canon. as for the Sony it's a no-brainer throw it

I have the Samsung f40, so far I like it. Some mentioned that it doesn't have a mic input - but the stuff I make, it's not as crucial. and looks like the samsung wins :D not the biggest weight difference either.

anyone answer, cant the lcd screen be tilted upwards so you look down on it if the camera is under you?

I used my F40 to record my playing piano, but there's a weird noise recorded whenever I play ( I tested with other sounds and no noise appeared), the sound is like something is torn inside the mic and moving or scratching the mic. Don't know why? I used my Canon camera to record and didn't have this problem...

is it good for recording High School soccer games?

how about comaring the most important feature: video quality?? day and night videos? compared??

and the quality??!! the best thing of a camera......

the f50 y better ??thanks.

Cool Video.. but Samsung F40 no HD? aka 720p

@SDTyson hmm.. looks a bit better than the quality on my videos.. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.. but I have tried all the different settings.. I'm mainly comparing these low end cameras with cameras like the canon 60D and 7D.. Those cameras shoot great quality video, in my opinion. You're videos are okay, but are still quite pixely.. (If that's even a word)

Is the video quality good, cause a lot people say its bad

The bad point of Samsung camcorders is always the motion. It is not smooth at all. Please notice this point. I was impressed by the online reviews like you, then I had to pay off.

@cdlourie I have a samsung too and I love it!

What about audio?

@TheTripleBstudios the cannon maybe good..but it didt win any of these test. so it makes it look bad. It may have come a close second in some of the tests, but as it didnt win.. it looks bad. perhaps a % rating may have been better. either way, the samsung looks better, no?

anyone tell me, is it written on the samsung smx f40 back just in the place were you install the battery MADE IN CHINA? as what i saw in the store says that, at the same time some ppl told me in america it is written ASSEMBLED IN CHINA, so is this one is an imitated ir fake version outside america? thnx

@NoNoSpice RAAAAAAACIIIIIISSSSSSSSST!!!!!!!!!

now for the bad news they edit software wont work with window 64bit xp-vista win 7. had going on some site going for sale..then review hit the issues.

I'm sure am glad that I saw this video before buying a camcorder
