Digital camera reviews of Fujifilm Finepix V10 5.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gun Metal Grey)
Digital camera Review: Above Average Looks, Below Average Pictures
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the first time I have felt the need to write a review. This may be a stylish looking camera with a price that you cannot pass by, but you really should. The images taken on this camera are grainy, pixelated, and a huge disappointment. Save yourself the hassle and do not buy this camera. This customered just returned his.Digital camera Review: Almost everything was perferct. Almost ...
Summary: 2 Stars
I really wanted this camera to be a good one. I own a FinePix S5100 for over two years and I am perfectly happy with the photos that it takes. I ordered the V10 as a less bulky alternative.
When I received the camera everything looked to be right. The price was excellent (130$), the packaged included anything I needed (card,rechargeable battery,manual) and the camera itself had a sleek design and a huge LCD. Both the software and the firmware (on the camera) is foolproof with many capabilities.
It wasn't until I took the first shot when my enthusiasm was curbed: pixels were all over the place, rendering any high resolution shots impossible. The resolution and image clarity that I got with this camera is comparable with one that has a 2.0MP CCD.How could these guys pay attention to so many things but its primary aspect, a decent photographic quality? I would gladly pay 30-50$ more for this product if the CCD was true to its promises. Totally disappointed, I returned it within a day.
Digital camera Review: Are those other reviewers refering to this camera???
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this camera because is is compact but has a huge view finder.
My first impression is this camera is heavy for it's size even with the battery removed. It feels like it is made of cast iron.
The rechargble battery is a little unusual, so don't expect to find a replacement anywhere except in a dedicated camera store.
The XD memory card that comes with the camera will let you take 16 full resolution pictures, so you need to buy a spare. I recommend an H (high speed) 512 MB or 1 GB memory card.
I have yet to test the durability. More on that later.
Digital camera Review: As a first digital for a friend, it has performed admirably
Summary: 5 Stars
A couple of us here at work pitched in to buy this nice little finepix for a colleague who was leaving and planning on traveling between jobs.
She has absolutely loved it, and the pictures she sent us have been quite impressive. In particular, the optical zoom allows for up close and personal shots without all the artifacts and compression of digital zoom. Also, the LCD is enormous, and she has appreciated being able to use it even in the sun without problems.
The fact that you need xD memory cards is a bit of a pain since they are less common, but even that problem is quickly remedied if you pick up a cheap one from Amazon when you get the camera.
All in all, this was the perfect gift for our colleague and is a great little point and shoot camera. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some more expensive ones, but really you wouldn't be looking at this one if you were comparing it with D-SLRs.
She highly recommends it, so I do to.
Digital camera Review: Awesome Little Camera! - Until it Broke!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera after recieving another "12MP" camera from e-bay as a gift. I was dissapointed in the 12MP camera, so wasn't expecting much from this little 5.1 MP one, but WOW was I surprised!
From the moment I took this camera out of the box, I loved it. It is easy to setup and use, and looks sleek. I have a friend who purchased a $500 digital camera, and found that she likes mine better for ease of use, bigger LCD screen, and portability!
The battery lasts absolutely forever - I charged it for about 3 hours when I first got it, and didn't have to charge it again for about 2 weeks, and I took a lot of pictures, and some video, in that time. The pictures are very clear when printed,and also very clear on the huge LCD screen. This camera has your basic shooting modes (outdoor, action, portrait, b & w, sepia, etc) and it also has a really cool feature that takes one picture with flash and one without in questionable lighting - this has been a very handy feature and definitely saved some of my pictures that would have been too dark.
This camera is definitely durable too! I have dropped it in my house several times, and I haul it around in my purse everywhere,and it has hardly gotten a scratch on it.
***UPDATE*** While I still love this camera, I am somewhat disapointed with the quality and with Fuji's customer service. I purchased this camera in March 2007. In November 2007, the camera "froze", it will not turn on or do anything. I have had repeted conversations with Fuji's warranty department on the phone, and they insist the camera is out of warranty even though I had only had it for 8 months when it broke! It is now March 2008, and I will not deal with Fuji's complete lack of customer service for the repairs anymore, and am trying to find someone local to fix it. For anyone looking to buy this camera, I suggest that you make sure that there is a local Fuji-approved repair shop in your state (there are none in Utah, where I live) so you don't have to deal with Fuji's New Jersey facility for warranty repairs. They are a total joke.
