Fujifilm’s coveted F-series is the technological experimentation playground for the FinePix line, possessing new components and features before they make their 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 well 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 than most other comparable cameras. 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 of the features that manufacturers are heavily emphasizing this year. The FinePix F10 will retail for $399.95 and can be found online for about $330.00.
