The Fujifilm FinePix F10 is the new and
exciting shape of things to come at Fujifilm.
In this elegant and compact digital camera, Fujifilm
has provided the features digital camera users
are clamoring for the most in a Point-and-Shoot
model.
The Fujifilm F10 is equipped with 6.3 megapixel
resolution (on a 1/1.7 in. 5th Generation Super
CCD HR image sensor), 3x optical zoom, fast operation,
macro as close as 7.5 cm (3 in.), easy-to-use
Scene Modes, and 15 sec. long exposure for night
photography.
But what sets the Fujifilm F10 head and shoulders
apart from other current P&S is the F10's
ability to capture low noise images at a high
ISO 400; in fact, the camera lets you push the
ISO sensitivity all the way up to ISO 1600 when
it's a matter of catching the shot or nothing!
This addresses head on the number one complaint
of most users: blur-free low-light photography
indoors.
To further aid in low-light photography, the
Fujifilm F10 also comes with an AF Assist Illuminator
to help in focusing in low-light and an extra
large 2.5 in. LCD monitor with Auto Gain feature
so you can see and compose in low-light.
The Fujifilm FinePix F10 is an exciting
new development and promises to be a defining
moment in the evolution of digital photography.
It is PictBridge-compatible for easy printing
to a Pictbridge-compatible printer direct from
the camera without the need to go thru a PC. If
you are looking for a Point-and-Shoot compact
digital camera that does well indoors in low-light,
you have just seen in the Fujifilm F10 what the
future of digital cameras will look like.
