Review Summary

The Fujifilm Finepix Z10fd is a small and light digital camera with seven megapixels and a 3x optical zoom and 2.5-inch display. There’s a built-in crop tool to cut photos down before putting them on a computer or a website. There’s also the auction mode, which puts together multiple pictures into one. This unit includes the slide-open lens cover, and a mode that takes four images in one frame. Image stabilization is a feature that does a good job at getting steady shots but affects the bright and clear colours that the camera produces in its normal mode. There’s a certain feature whereby it allows users to have a mode that takes four images in one frame, so they only have to pay for one uploaded pic on eBay. Reviewers from the site vnunet.com noted that one of its features, the auction mode is useless if users are not using it for selling things in an online auction listing. A certain reviewer noted that this brand’s rivals may make slimmer and sexier models than this, but the latest Finepix jobbie is a true budget wonder. Reviewers from another site t3.com concluded that although the Z10fd won’t be on pro-snappers’ Christmas wish lists, the £130 price tag ensures that anyone after a cheap, simple-to-use, robust camera will want to have a look.
