Test: Einzeltest: Samsung HMX-QF20
Zitat: Pro: + Wireless sharing and backup
+ Lots of built-in features and adjustments
+ Easy-to-navigate UI
+ Manual focus is a nice feature
Contra: - Still image quality is poor
- Surprisingly feels too small
- Wireless sharing is clunky
- LCD can’t handle direct sun
- Hard-to-control zoom
For casual video capture, the Samsung HMX-QF20 is an admirable camera that won’t break the bank. It’s easy to use once you overcome any touchscreen phobias, and offers abundant manual settings and other in-camera features to explore. But there’s nothing overwhelming about what’s inside the HMX-QF20. No one will be blown away by the amazing image quality here. Its convenient form factor and undeniably useful wireless backup and sharing features are compelling, but still clunkier and slower than even a basic smartphone. Without top-notch convenience or some pretty impressive imaging results, potential consumers may find the HMX-QF20 juggling too many pros and cons to make a worthwhile purchase.
