Fuji Film FinePix F450 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 4.75 (out of 10)
The Finepix F450 replaces the 3 megapixel Finepix F420 that I reviewed in August 2004. The F450 adds a number of extra features, the most obvious being a new larger 5.2 megapixel sensor. In addition, the F450 is even smaller and lighter than its predecessor, yet can still squeeze in a bigger 2 inch LCD screen. Fujifilm have also extended the range of the optical zoom lens on the F450 to 3.4x, equivalent to 38 - 130mm on a 35mm camera, and added a low sensitivity setting of ISO 80. I really liked the older Finepix F420, so have the improvements to the Fujifilm FinePix F450 resulted in an even better camera? Read my extensive review to find out.

| The beauty of capitalism is that, when consumers clamor for sleek point-and-shoot cameras that take printable photos, manufacturers will fall over themselves to churn out models with portable designs and higher pixel counts. The 5-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix F450 stands as a somewhat exaggerated case in point; though it boasts a pocket-size, uniquely shaped body and a high-resolution sensor, it lacks all but the most rudimentary manual features and makes several compromises in image quality. |

| Shaped like a Klondike bar, the Fujifilm FinePix F450 is on the smaller end of the ultracompact scale—somewhere between the Konica Minolta DiMage X50 and the extra-tiny Canon PowerShot SD20 Digital Elph. The F450's metal body has a sleek yet industrial appearance, and it feels nearly indestructible. But it has some limitations that may turn off more savvy shutterbugs - or even novices who want that perfect shot on their vacation. And alas, the camera's speed and image quality aren't as good as those of many other ultracompacts we've reviewed. |
