Fuji FinePix F10 Review
|
Review Summary
Like the E5xx Series, the F10 is an ultra compact just small and light enough to fit into a pocket. And like those fine cameras, the F10 comes with a sensor that uses Fuji's proprietary Super CCD High Resolution technology that uses octagonal pixels placed close to each other in sort of a honeycomb arrangement. Fuji claims this technology offers images of higher perceived resolution and quality than what you?d get from a regular CCD of the same resolution, and digital zoom and movies yield better quality as well. We found all of that to be true in our review of the Super CCD HR-equipped FinePix E550.

| The new 6.3-megapixel FujiFilm FinePix F10 ($399 MSRP) is a rather unassuming digital camera with a silvery metal finish and plain vanilla styling. Yet looks are very deceiving; this is one of the best performing cameras on the market. The camera has superb low-light shooting capability, film camera-like response, easy-to-operate controls and menus. And, of course, great photo quality. In effect, this is everything a point-and-shoot digicam should be in 2005. For slightly more than 300 bucks, this camera should be high on the list for those who want effortless picture taking. That said, the FinePix F10 is not God's Gift to Photography; there are some annoying flaws we're happy to point out in the hope that Fuji engineers will take the comments as constructive criticism. |

| The Fujifilm FinePix F10 is among Fujifilm's latest compact digital cameras, and offers a great combination of ease of use, style, and image quality (particularly at higher ISO sensitivities). Based on a fifth-generation Super CCD HR chip design, the Fuji F10 offers great resolution at a good price point, with a resolution of 6.3 megapixels. With a sharp 3x zoom lens, compact size, and straightforward user interface, the Fuji F10 is an excellent all-around point & shoot model that should appeal to novice users and more experienced shooters alike. The Fuji F10's most impressive feature though is its ability to produce very "clean" (low noise) images at ISO light sensitivity settings far above those most consumer-level digital cameras can manage. Read on for all the details. |

| The FinePix F10 is the first Fujifilm camera to use a new 6 megapixel Super CCD sensor (with no interpolated output) and one of the first compacts to offer a usable ISO 1600 high sensitivity setting at full resolution. It also boasts fast operation, 500-shot battery life and a 2.5-inch LCD. But is it good enough to give the latest 7 megpixel compacts a run for their money? Find out in our concise review. |

| Fujifilm's coveted F-series has traditionally been used as a means of technological experimentation for the FinePix line, implementing new components and features before making its way to other models and applications. This includes both the super CCD and SR CCD. The FinePix F10 is Fujifilm's most recent addition to its F series; however, this digital camera departs from the traditional numbering system of the line. The F10 is not a big step backwards from the F440, F450, and F700. Rather, it packs 6.3 total megapixels on its 1/1.7-inch Super CCD that works in combination with an improved Real Photo Processor. Fujifilm is marketing this improved imaging processor as having significantly less noise and much faster reading and writing time. The F10 is comparable to the Canon PowerShot SD500 with its increased amount of megapixels in a compact form. The F10 will compete in the glamorous slim digital camera market with its 1.1-inch thick body constructed from a single sheet of metal, which will make it far more durable then most others. With a 3x optical zoom lens, a large 2.5-inch LCD screen, and 500 shots per battery charge, the Fujifilm FinePix F10 is equipped with many features coveted by manufacturers this year. The FinePix F10 will retail for $399.95 and can be found online for about $330.00. |

| The Fujifilm Finepix F10 is a great all round camera, with a good 3x optical zoom lens, and plenty of resolution and image quality. It works well as a basic point and shoot camera and is ok for people who like a little more manual control. The camera has a very good battery life, is very compact and so is great for 'regular' environment photography - Those going on long holidays may wish to invest in a second battery. The camera can be mounted on a tripod and will take long exposures if necessary. Image quality is very good, the camera is capable of some excellent results - the only areas where this camera may be less than ideal are, the occasional auto-balance overexposures, some slight purple fringing (at edges of shiny objects and bright sky), and possible (but rarely noticable) jpeg overcompression (relative to a 2800 in fine mode). This is a good high quality 6 megapixel camera at a competitive price point, great for parties and more serious use.

| The FinePix F10 ($399) is a bit of a departure for Fuji. While it uses the SuperCCD HR sensor like many other Fuji cameras of late, it does different things with the extra data collected by the sensor. Where previous cameras using this sensor would use the SuperCCD sensor to create high resolution (12MP) images, the FinePix F10 uses it for low noise high ISO shooting. In other words, the camera can shoot at 6.3 Megapixels at ISO 1600 - something no other point-and-shoot camera can do. Gone is the option to shoot at 12MP, though I won't miss it personally since the image quality just wasn't there.
Other features on the F10 include a compact metal body, a 3X zoom lens, a large 2.5" LCD display, and a unique "natural light mode" for taking sharp pictures in lower light conditions without having to resort to the flash.

| Slick performance, good build quality and excellent handling, but the biggest bonus is the remarkable high-ISO performance, which produces virtually noise-free pictures in all lighting conditions. It is a real breakthrough, and makes the FinePix F10 a unique camera. Although it is not without its faults, there isn't another camera on the market that can match its low-light performance. |

| The F10 boasts the companies new, 1/1.7-inch Super CCD HR sensor that uses a full 6.3-million gross pixels rather than the interpolated, dual pixel elements of yore. Fujifilm's Super CCD technology has been with us for some time now and it just keeps getting better and to prove the point the F10 has its best incarnation yet in a camera of this class. |

| There are few gadgets I like better than a digital camera that is easy to use. Somewhere, someone maintains a list of the world's worst photographers, and I think I'm on it. So when I buy a camera, I go for the one that makes it all easy. That is, unless it's slow to start up. |

| Usable high-ISO sensitivities, good photo quality, and a brawny battery highlight the appeal of the 6-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix F10. It's a compact point-and-shoot package that includes a 3X optical zoom and a 2.5-inch LCD that's usable under a variety of difficult lighting conditions. Photo enthusiasts might be disappointed by the lack of manual controls for exposure and focus and by the image quality, which is long on latitude but suffers from fringing that pulls it up short. Snapshooters who like lots of scene modes will find only five to choose from, but fans of this camera's special features will find its shortcomings merely minor annoyances. |

| Although Fujifilm is a company that became noted for creating elegant cameras with unusual shapes - vertical and square - its new FinePix F10 has a much more conventional design. The FinePix F10 offers a 6.3 megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom, housed in a crisply finished metal body that has a sand-blasted texture on the front and back and a brushed texture on top.

| Fujifilm introduced a new line of digital cameras at the beginning of February 2005, amongst them the new Fujifilm FinePix F10. The new Fujifilm F10 digital camera is equipped with a 6.3 Megapixel Super CCD HR, an image sensor from the stables of Fujifilm. This newest image sensor belongs to the 5th generation. And the Super CCD image sensor proved to be a full and innovative product over the past few years with which Fujifilm distinguishes itself from competing manufacturers. The Fuji F10 camera features a 2.5 inch size LCD monitor which makes you forget about an optical viewfinder. The large size lets you check your images with great ease, the information is shown clearly and well-organized. |

| The Finepix F10 6.3 MP camera is one of the better digital point-and-shoots I've reviewed. The interface is incredibly easy to navigate and the photos typically come out looking pretty good. This camera seems to shine in brightly lit situations where you need a quick shot or if you want to take action shots. Unfortunately, because of how heavily the image quality suffers on indoor shooting without the flash, this may not be for everyone. |

| "The Fuji Finepix F10 undeniably distinguishes itself from other ultra-compact cameras by its uncompromising 3X optical zoom lens, its superior 6 megapixel sensor and its spectacular battery life. This sturdy metallic ultra-compact digital camera may be bigger (1.1" thick) then most other ones in its class, but it can still be carried anywhere with ease. Additionally, its class-leading battery life of 500 shots per charge (CIPA standard) means not having to worry about its proprietary lithium-ion battery and its clunky charging system.
This is one of the most impressive ultra-compact cameras. Indeed, its image quality and noise-levels are unmatched by any other ultra-compact camera. It is also one of the only non-SLR cameras with ISO settings up to 1600. The Fuji Finepix F10's battery life is also exceptional even with a 2.5" LCD as its only viewfinder."

| Review: "The FujiFilm FinePix F10 digital camera is an amazing compact-sized camera. Amazing because it has extraordinary low-light sensitivity for a compact digicam, supporting up to ISO 1600. Although its ISO 1600 is not perfect, and not quite as good as that of a larger digital SLR, it is good enough to be useful for most people, making it an excellent choice for photographing in a variety of lighting situations. Its compact size makes it a great choice for carrying around when you don't want to lug a around larger camera.
Overall, the Fuji F10 is an excellent choice for a compact, automatic digital camera. Although it lacks advanced manual features, if you don't mind giving up manual control, you'll get reasonable high ISO performance in a nice package. Consider also, the successors to the F10, namely, the Fuji F11 (unfortunately not released in the U.S. market, but available through importers or eBay), and the even newer Fuji F30. The Fuji F30 in particular is notable because it supports up to ISO3200 at full resolution." |
