Generally, some of the advantages of the Samsung V40 compared to super zoom competitors include: it is slightly smaller (compact (106×56×37 mm) vs prosumer size (111×76×91 mm)), is thinner (1.5" vs 3.6"), is slightly lighter (230 g vs 508 g), has a viewfinder (tunnel vs none) and has more storage slots (2 vs 1).
However, on average it has a much narrower wide angle lens (35 mm vs 22 mm), has a much smaller screen (2" vs 3"), has a much lower resolution screen (117k dots vs 921k dots), doesn't have image stabilization (none vs lens) and takes significantly lower resolution photos (3.9 MP vs 9.7 MP).
