Are you looking for a digital camera that has enough oomph to hold it’s own against larger, more powerful beasts? If so, the Fuji FinePix F10 digital camera just may be the one you’re looking for.
If you think the f10 may be the best choice for you, read on. Below is a review of the Fuji FinePix F10, as well as information on the pros and cons of purchasing this camera.
Body
I like the body of this camera. It feels very similar in style to the Canon A-series, and is small enough to slip in a pocket while at the same time being large enough to feel substantial in the hand.
The front of the camera is a simple design, with a protruding zoom lens, the view finder, a light sensor for the flash, the flash, and a small logo printed on the front.
Features
The FinePix F10 comes bundled with an AC adapter, wrist strap, AV cables, USB cable, software CD, manual, and a small 16MB storage card, which will only hold a few shots.
The camera itself sports 6-megapixels, which will comfortably and without distortion produce prints up to 16″. It uses an XD card as it’s storage medium of choice, which is smaller than an SD, but also more expensive.
The lithium ion battery that comes with the camera can take about 500 pictures on one charge, which may not be enough for an intensive photographer. Luckily, batteries can be found used for a low price of about $20, so taking a spare won’t be a big deal.
The camera has 3x optical zoom, which isn’t very much, but can get you that shot just a little out of reach. The back of the camera sports a 2.5″ LCD, which is large enough to adequately analyze pictures you’ve taken.
Photo Quality
Photos taken by the Fuji FinePix F1 digital camera come out great because of the Super CCD sensor the camera uses. The Super CCD sensor is designed to pick up a great deal of information and process it into a high-megapixel digital image. Fuji decided to use it for average 6-megapixel images, and the result is high quality photos will low noise in low-light settings.
Issues
The battery life could be better, but the quality of the shots make up for it.
Conclusion
This camera is an excellent choice for a photography hobbyist who just can’t fork over the cash for a high-end digital camera. It is small and durable, and features the awesome Super CCD sensor, which allows for clear, bright, and low-noise shots.
