FujiFilm FinePix A350 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.00 (out of 10)
Call it a love-hate relationship: there are things we really like about the Fujifilm FinePix A350 and things we really dislike about it. Whether it's a good pick may depend on whether you're willing to live with - or adapt to - -its quirks. The FinePix A350 is the flagship model for Fujifilm's A series of inexpensive point-and-shoot cameras. Its 5.2-megapixel resolution marks an increase over the 4 megapixels of its predecessor, the A340, and this camera slightly bumps up the LCD size from 1.5 inches to 1.7 inches.

| Known for great color and performance, Fujifilm has also carved out a niche for itself by consistently providing good-quality consumer digicams at rock-bottom prices. The latest in their line of bargain-priced cameras is the Fujifilm FinePix A350, a 5.2-megapixel digital camera, and its twin the FinePix A345, sporting 4.1 megapixels. The Fuji A350 carries on the value-leading tradition of Fujifilm digital cameras by offering a 5.2-megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom lens at a low price, including a good-sized bright LCD monitor, Pict-Bridge support, two-second maximum exposure time and four preset scene modes. As you'd expect, the Fujifilm FinePix A350 trades off a few features and capabilities to achieve its remarkably low cost, but the camera still takes good-looking pictures in daylight conditions, and is simple enough for even rank beginners to enjoy immediately. |

| The Fujifilm FinePix A350 jumps into a saturated market as a camera aimed at the automatically oriented crowd. The camera takes a minimalist approach with few buttons and few options, creating a primarily automatic interface for the beginner or strictly point-and-shoot users. However, it is still a step up from last year's model, the Fujifilm FinePix A340. Fujifilm pumped a lot of money into their marketing research and found that consumers shunned the moving parts on some of the Fujifilm models for their fragility. In response, the company took out the sliding lens cover of the A340 and replaced it with a built-in snapping lens cover on the A350. Fujifilm also threw in a larger 1.7-inch LCD screen and slightly improved video capabilities - and while these aren't enormous milestones, they are certainly improvements from the earlier A340. The Fujifilm FinePix A350 also boasts 5.2 effective megapixels on its 1/2.5-inch CCD; this is a nice upgrade from the A340's 4 megapixels and 1/2.7-inch CCD. The A350's features are rounded out with a 3x optical zoom lens and affordable $299 retail price tag.

| This is a joint review of the new Fujifilm Finepix A345 and A350. The Fujifilm Finepix A345 and A350 both feature a 3x optical zoom lens, the only difference is that that A345 is a 4 megapixel digital camera, whereas the A350 is a 5 megapixel camera. The 3x optical zoom lens is equivalent to 35-105mm on a 35mm camera. They both feature a 1.7" TFT screen. The camera is enclosed in a silver plastic body. It records unlimited 320 x 240 / 15fps videos with sound |

| A plump and user-friendly little compact, the recently released 5-megapixel FinePix A350 is one of 2 very similar cameras from Fujifilm. Intended as budget-conscious, entry-level cameras, the A350 and its twin, the 4-megapixel A345, are both equipped with a 3X optical zoom. The A350's body is made of plastic with a high-quality, textured metallic finish that includes some chrome highlights. The lens and its two-piece barrel retract fully into the body when the camera is turned off, and the front lens element is covered by a shutter. |
