Fujifilm FinePix F470 Review
|
Review Date: May
5, 2006 |
The Fujifilm F470 differs from other Fujifilm
digital cameras in that it does not use the 5th
Generation Super CCD HR image sensor but opts
for a more standard Square-Pixel CCD image sensor
instead.
The LCD screen has a fast refresh rate of 60fps
for smooth images. It shoots VGA movies at 30fps
with monaural sound. It comes with an internal
memory of 16MB. Exposure control is Program AE
with 10 additional Scene Modes.
Fujifilm claims a shutter lag speed (after AF/AE
lock) of 0.1 second and start-up of 1.7 second.
The FinePix F470 comes with a rechargeable NP-40
battery. PictBridge™ technology allows you
to print directly to any PictBridge-compatible
printer without going through a PC.
