Digital Camera Review

1.8 Fujifilm introduced the Fujifilm FinePix V10 at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show in January 2006. The V10 is marketed as an ingenious fusion between a digital camera and a video gaming device. Indeed, Fujifilm’s marketing slogan was, “Changing the Game.” The 5.1 megapixel digital camera has a 1/2.5-inch CCD that is similar to the one found in the highly acclaimed FinePix F10, along with a 3.4x optical zoom lens and 3-inch, 230K pixel LCD screen. Like many recent Fujifilm releases, the FinePix V10 is designed for available light shooting with a wide ISO range that extends from 64-1600. The Fujifilm FinePix V10 is “changing the game” in March for a retail price of $349.
