FujiFilm FinePix A345 Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.75 (out of 10)
When a manufacturer refreshes a product line, the flagship model usually gets most of the attention. Yet that isn't always the best model to buy, especially when it comes to budget-oriented lines such as Fujifilm's FinePix A series. Unless getting the highest resolution available is a priority for you, that's the case with the Fujifilm FinePix A345. It's identical to the higher-priced A350, except that it has a 4.1-megapixel sensor rather than 5.2 megapixels.

The Fuji Finepix A345 is a fairly basic four megapixel digital camera. When you buy a camera like this one you get exactly what you pay for and you will not be paying for features that you are never going to use. Outdoors you can still produce a good set of photos, but if you are looking for high quality indoor shots then you will need to pay a bit more. It is one of the easiest to use digital cameras that you are likely to find, but I feel it just falls short in terms of picture quality compared to one or two of its closest rivals.

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

Fujifilm's FinePix digital cameras have always been associated with good image quality and color, with solid performance even at the lower-end of the line. With a 4.1-megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom lens, the FinePix A345 continues that tradition in an attractive new design, although I didn't feel that its color rendition was up to the level I've come to expect from Fujifilm cameras. Like other recent A Series models, it offers four preset scene modes and a long maximum exposure time. Overall, it's a decent entry-level digital camera, offering adequate resolution for 8x10 inch prints and an optical zoom lens at a very low price.

Digital Camera Info ----- 06-20-05 Read Full Review
When the first generation of digital cameras arrived in the market many years ago they were heavy and chunky. The A345 shows how far we've come with a slim design and a weight almost as light as a helium balloon. It's a camera for novice photographers. In many cases it will be the owner's first digital camera. The $199 price point will intrigue a great many consumers. I personally found the image quality too soft for my taste. I would encourage anyone looking at this camera, but desiring the sharpest of images to look at other cameras, compare, and decide for yourself. If you can deal with a camera that possesses a slightly more complex control set, it might be worthwhile to compare the A345 to a previous year's Sony or Canon model.
