In the FinePix F440, Fuji has produced a point-and-shoot camera that is stylish and incredibly compact, while including a wide variety of image quality settings and options. The F440 has 1/2.5” 4.1 MP Super CCD, 2.0 inch LCD screen, and a real image optical viewfinder. It is possible to record movies in two formats, with audio recorded through a monaural microphone. Playback is available with several options for both still and video recordings. This expansive camera is small and sleek with a sensible layout, while remaining relatively inexpensive. Currently available for $249.95 (USD) online, the F440 is a strong competitor within the introductory digital camera market.
