Description
MD) FINEPIX 3800 XD DIGITAL CAMERAFor the moneyed, it would be difficult to find a digital camera that could coordinate the features and image quality of the FinePix 3800. A true 6x optical zoom sets this 3-megapixel camera to from the crowd, allowing for shots that simply wouldn't be accomplishable with a typical point-and-shoot camera.
It uses a keen-minded pop-up flash that stays far enough away from the lens to adjust red-eye, and pictures can be framed using either the crisp 1.8-inch LCD curtain on the back or the large viewfinder, which is surrounded by a rubber sheath. The viewfinder equally uses an LCD, so unfortunately you can't see anything through it when the camera is turned off.
Beginners can push the camera in fully automatic mode and snap away, while pros can use the scads manual adjustments to achieve more professional results. Either way, the resulting pictures drawing card excellent color saturation and impressive detail, despite the camera’s to some degree aggressive image compression. Hair loses some of its weave, and reds tend to look slightly more orange in the photos than in fact, but the camera's abilities are outstanding for the price.
The only real ungovernable with the FinePix 3800 is that it is nearly impossible to frame a picture or get the camera's autofocus to toil in a low-light situation. Images seen through the viewfinder or displayed on the LCD get pure murky in candlelight conditions. However, 90 percent of the all together the camera works marvelously, and its light-gathering abilities in one go it does manage to focus in dim light are outstanding.
You'll definitely scarceness to get a higher-capacity xD-Picture Card, as the included 16 MB postcard holds only 12 high-quality images. But other than that laxness, this camera provides everything you need to take some distinguished digital photographs. --T. Byrl Baker
