I’ve often had bad things to say about Samsung televisions, with their strange controls and bizarre design, but these characteristics have worked in Samsung’s favor more than once, as is evidenced by the Samsung SMX-F43BN/XAA.

The Samsung SMX-F43BN/XAA camcorder boasts a 52x optical zoom with a whopping 2200x digital zoom to back it up, a 2.7 inch LCD monitor, digital image stabilization, face detection technology, night recording capability, a time lapse recording feature, two megapixel still camera mode, eight gigs of onboard memory with compatibility with Secure Digital memory cards, a USB port, and editing software.

It’s a pretty solid camcorder, right?  The range on the zoom is pretty nice, measuring in at a little better than a hundred feet by my admittedly loose estimate standards, and the controls are solid and easy to use besides.  And the price is, frankly, a little extra inducement to pick this one up.  It’s two hundred twenty bucks out at Best Buy, which is a pretty nice price no matter how you look at it.

The Samsung SMX-F43BN/XAA is a really nice overall camcorder that brings plenty of features in a compact and easy to use package.  If you’re in the market for a new one, this is definitely a good one to check out.
