Fujifilm FinePix V10 First Impressions Review

Likes

- Large 3-inch LCD screen with 230k - Video games for the bored masses - Large 64-1600 ISO range - Stylish metal body - Same Super CCD that the F10 had (except smaller)

Dislikes

- Flash placement awkward - Slightly uncomfortable navigational control - No metering options - Vertical view of LCD solarizes - Short battery life

Conclusion
With 5.1 megapixels, the Fujifilm FinePix V10 has just an average amount of resolution. Its 3.4x optical zoom lens has just enough focal length to be above average. The V10’s 3-inch LCD screen is excellent and its metal body is slim and stylish. It gets better. The camera has a gaming feature that can occupy kids for hours – or at least until the battery dies. The FinePix V10 definitely has a few quirks. Its playback mode button is a black hole, the navigation controls are tiny and not as comfortable as more traditional multi-selectors, and the highly touted games are buried in the playback menu. Nevertheless, the Fujifilm FinePix V10 has some very lucrative features: 64-1600 ISO sensitivities, good solid imaging guts, and a huge screen to view and capture pictures on. Overall, the V10 is simple to figure out. Users won’t have to wrestle it to get great pictures. The Fujifilm FinePix V10 will retail for $349 when it begins selling in stores in March.
