Top Fujifilm Finepix V10 Camera Reviews
DC Resource wrote a review of the
Fujifilm Finepix V10
and said: "Photo quality was a mixed bag: it really depends on
the situation. In normal outdoor shooting, the V10 took very
nice photos, with accurate color, good exposure, and pleasing
sharpness. In lower light levels the camera will want to crank
up the ISO, and if it gets above ISO 400 then things start
looking more like Monet paintings than photographs. The FinePix
V10 doesn't perform as well as the now legendary F10 in this
area, and some other cameras like the Sony DSC-W50 wipe the
floor with it."
Digital Camera Info wrote a review of the
Fujifilm Finepix V10 and said: "The marketing sure hypes up
the games on the V10, but of even more interest than a Picture
Puzzle or Shooting Game is the incredibly low noise and accurate
colors that the camera produces. The Fujifilm FinePix V10
performed very well during testing, proving that it is worthy of
walking in the footsteps of last year’s F10. The older F10 had a
larger sensor, more megapixels, and an equally positive set of
testing scores – but came in a boring frame."
Fujifilm Finepix V10 News Release Summary:
CES 2006, Las Vegas, January 4, 2006 - Digital photographers
will take sharper, more vivid pictures and see their results in
a "big" way with the new five MegaPixel FinePix V10 digital
camera introduced today by Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc.
The FinePix V10 is the first model in Fujifilm's 2006 digital
camera line-up to utilize Real Photo Technology. Like its 2005
predecessors with Real Photo Technology, the FinePix V10 does an
outstanding job of removing graininess or "noise" from its
digital pictures. Image noise, much like static in a television
signal, reduces a picture's sharpness. The noise problem is
compounded when digital pictures are shot at higher light
sensitivities, which can vary depending on lighting conditions.
With Real Photo Technology, the FinePix V10 generates less noise
than similar digital cameras and can therefore take pictures at
light sensitivities as high as 1600 ISO at full resolution.
Higher sensitivities open the door to a host of user benefits
when combined with quicker shutter speeds. Those benefits
include less shake and blur due to hand and subject movement as
well as more detailed and natural-looking pictures taken in
low-light environments.
With the FinePix V10 and Real Photo Technology users can keep
the lights off during the "Happy Birthday" song and still
capture a clear picture without disrupting the mood with a
camera flash. To help determine whether or not to use flash for
a particular scene, the FinePix V10 has a "Natural Light & With
Flash" function. This mode shoots two images in succession,
first without and then with flash. This convenient function
provides an on-the-spot comparison that helps the user decide
whether the FinePix V10 will produce the highest quality photo
with flash or without.
The features and benefits of the FinePix V10 don't end with Real
Photo Technology. The most noticeable physical feature of the
FinePix V10 is the camera's enormous LCD. At 3-inches, the
FinePix V10's LCD is one of largest in the ultra-compact camera
category. It gives the user an ideal platform for framing
subjects or for sharing just-taken photos. Plus, the LCD has a
number of features that ensure peak viewing performance
regardless of scene lighting.
Glare is often a problem when LCDs are used in direct sunlight
or a brightly lit room. To combat glare, the LCD of the FinePix
V10 employs a special amplification layer that boosts the
strength of the LCD and making it easier to see. The FinePix
V10's LCD is also very "smart", as it automatically "gains up"
or brightens in dimly lit environments. And with a stout 230,000
pixels, this re-enforced LCD is not short on resolution.
The high resolution of the FinePix V10's LCD comes in handy when
the user selects one of the four, fun video games available on
the camera. A nice secondary feature for a camera whose focus is
on taking great pictures, the games - Number Puzzle, Break Out,
Shooting Game and Maze - are ideal diversions for a traveler
during a long layover, a passenger on an interstate road trip or
a weary driver stuck in line at the Department of Motor
Vehicles.
Spotlight features of the FinePix V10 include:
- Real Photo Technology featuring a five MegaPixel Super CCD HR sensor
working in tandem with the critically acclaimed RP Processor for
sharper photos and more vivid color reproduction with less noise
than in comparable camera models.
- A 3.4x optical zoom lens from world-renowned lens manufacturer, Fujinon,
which provides broadcast-quality lenses for television and movie
production. The lens on the FinePix V10 widens to F2.8, a
setting that allows additional light to hit the Super CCD. This
enables the FinePix V10 to shoot at faster shutter speeds, and a
quicker shutter reduces camera shake due to hand movement as
well as blurring caused by moving subjects.
- Six scene modes ensure precise and correct camera settings for a variety
of shooting environments and conditions. These settings help the
user maximize picture quality even in the most difficult
picture-taking situations.
- A 30-frame multi-frame playback mode for viewing groups of photos.
Consumers can purchase the FinePix V10 in March 2006 at a retail
cost of $349.
