CL) RE) FUJI FINEPIX Z10FD ViciousCustomer Reviews
Fujifilm FinepixThis camrea is submissive to use with lots of Picture opitins to pick from. The alone thing Im not impressed with it the quality of the pictures. Many contain turned out fuzzy.
Eh, I don't get all the shout reviews for this....
Ok, this is my move real review on amazon, so I apologize if it isn't as precise as other reviewers. It's worthwhile to note, I am not an expert when it comes to photography either. So now, certainly, I am shopping around for a new camera. I used to have this: Fujifilm Finepix V10 5.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Visual Zoom (Orange) & I LOVED it. It was by far the best camera I obtain ever owned. When I purchased it, it was on sale for a little beyond $100, what a steal! Unfortunately, a friend dropped it, & it down-and-out. By this time, the promotion was over & she wanted to replace it. Not unfinished her to have to spend more than I originally had, we saw this Z for everywhere the same price my original was. I thought because I loved my other finepix so much, that this would be a thorough replacement, as I had developed trust in the name. Wrong.
First, what is with this hiked expense? I purchased this cam over 2 yrs ago for around $100 & now it's basically $200? Don't do it.
Why? Properly, the first finepix I had was just perfect in every way for a casual user. The yellowish-brown was great, it really stood out, people always asked apropos it, was easy to find in a bag. It had a rechargeable battery, so you just plugged the cam in & voila, charging!... no spear-carrier attachments, no removing batteries, replacing, etc.
There was little to no shilly-shallying when taking photos, so easy to use. The buttons were conveniently placed, so no thumbs in the pics. The pictures were deep down crisp & clear. It was a well made sturdy cam, (however, you wouldn't think about so, given mine broke haha). But the construction was so much wiser, than the Z, which feels more flimsy.
With this Z, it only doesn't compare. When you turn it on, by sliding the front, of tack you have a brief waiting period for it to load. THEN you may secure yourself & your subjects holding your/their 'poses', for what seems an perpetuity, when you just want a quick, catch the moment, cordial of shot. After you finally get your shot, chances are it last wishes as be blurry, or people having moved awkwardly, due to the wait/stoppage, so then, you have to take more. You will find yourself holding the handle halfway, to fullway, just sort of bending to the camera's commitment, not vice versa. It is a fickle camera. The only time a hold in abeyance would be nice, would be if you want to 'time' a shot, perhaps something of a portrait nature. But for vacationing, random shots, this cam is a bother. It sort of shudders, acting as if it is going to take the pic, then it last will and testament stall, confusing the person attempting to take the pic, like 'what is backfire with this thing? is this normal?' side dekko to me, leaving me just kind of shrugging, as if to say, 'yes, it is typical & a pain, divert be patient.'
I think the first finepix I had must have spoiled me, to review all of the glowing reviews on this cam. While I am not crazy about this cam, & would not vouch for it, as there ARE better point & shoots out there for equal value or smaller amount, it is still better than a cheap kodak or something drink that range.
I probably should mention the video, it's ok, the peaceful ok, but again, just ok.
I say if you are wanting a 3x (but why? upgrade now to 5x) & are willing to outside out $200, get the V10. Everything about it is better, & they are vulgarly the same size. The V10 is constructed better, easier to use, little to no table, nice video, no extra pieces to lug around & just all-embracing > (greater than) the Z.
BTW- When I say easier to use, it's like comparing a website that is easier to direct, versus a website that is all clutter & annoying. Yet a cluttered frustrating website, would be better than no website or a website using antiquated script & cheap design.
So, that's it, hope it wasn't too aching to read. This cam = 3 stars, wavering in the middle, it isn't the beat, it isn't the worst, so keep looking, you can get better for the current price.
Vast intro camera, but has it's flaws
I got this camera a brief over two years ago, and promptly lost the manual. I actually picked it because of the alluring pink color it came in. I knew nothing about photography, so I upright used the auto and other preset settings until in all directions a week ago. I'll start with prior to using the manual mushroom function.
The construction of this camera is impressive. I'm a clutz, to say the smallest amount of. I've dropped it a few times, both on carpet and hard flooring. It's had things spilled on it, and traveled all over and beyond. Aside from a few scatches near the function wheels and a far-out scratch/smudge on the display, it's fine.
Portability is fabulous! I lodge b deceive this camera literally everywhere I go, it's always in my purse. It's smaller amount than an inch thick, and 3-4 inces long. The freestyle lasts a considerable amount of time, and charges fast.
Video calibre is ok. It's not the best, but it's better than nothing for sure. I have captivated videos at concerts that did not turn out well, one at Disneyland that turned out titanic, and a few of my dog that are great as well. The sound is very good. They take effect a very long time to upload onto my computer be that as it may. Also, if you shoot them holding the camera sideways, the video purposefulness remain sideways once you upload it. I haven't found a way to drive them the right way yet.
Pictures...have been hit and miss. Then I can get very good images, some VERY poor. The worst are in low lighting or at sunset, especially outdoors. I've tried using the "night" function, which results in streaky, odd looking photos EVERY Set aside time. Not worth using. Another problem has been the zoom. On occasion I can zoom in and get clear pictures, other times you can hardly charge what it's a picture of. If you use the "sport" setting, that works really well for anything that's moving, though they that time don't come out perfect.
The preset settings are cool. It has auto, snow, run aground, sports, flower, natural, auction mode, portrait, scene, sunset, museum, party, text, and anti-blur. They all play a joke on very clear descriptions displayed when you scroll onto them. I predisposition there were more, though.
NOW, i've finally started culture some things, and messing around with the manual settings. I've been getting pictures of a MUCH higher grade, and more consistent. I wish I had learned to do this earlier. I be suffering with not tried this yet at night though, so don't know if that can be improved or not. I do quieten plan on upgrading to the FinePix F70EXR soon, but am happier with this one in the meantime. I would advisable this camera for someone that wants to learn but doesn't surface ready to jump into a DSLR or spend a lot of money. It's a laudatory "learning camera".
This camera is the WORST
I cannot hint at you how terribly disappointed I am in this camera, each and every all together I load the photos in my computer. Yes, managing the settings is very tolerant and the thing is very cute and small so fits into any crater. But what good is a camera with results that can't be predicted? What virtue are the special settings if you know they will produce a sleepy photo, all except the very brightest settings? When it was maker new, I got one nice landscape shot but portraits, parties, friends, specific occasions, including my San Francisco debut, was ruined because of a entirely poor quality camera. Don't waste your money on this one. Keep a little more and spend it on a Canon or, better still, a sizeable Nikon or Canon SLR. I cannot wait until I've saved my pennies ample to be able to buy a decent digital camera and dump this one.
2 years old now and motionless great
I bought this camera in November 07 and the entirety is still the way it was back then, "Great!"
I use Canon DSLR's for my vocation but I always carry the fuji in my pocket when I am out and about and it has not at all disappointed me. It is a great camera
