Sleek, Slim design Fits in pockets or handbags Shutter lid to protects flash and lens. Attractive colors (green, blue, pink and hot red) Size - 91.3mm*56.3mm*18.8mm Weighs - 111 grams Auto switching mode Face detection mode in Four ways
Feels sturdy and solid Front of the camera is clean; top has 2 buttons TFT color LCD monitor at the rear Provision for battery covers at the bottom Also serves as a cover for memory card Provision to attach a tripod below
Increased pixel size (7.2 to 10) Reduced internal memory (54MB to 45MB) Saved images in jpeg format only MPEG 4 movie recording system (640*480 pixels and 320*240 pixels) Zoom function is disabled during movie recording
3x optical zoom lens (35 to 105 mm) Camera has 19 different modes - auto, manual, natural light, natural light with flash, portrait, landscape, sport, night, auction, sunset, snow, beach, museum, party, flower, close-up, text, picture-stabilization, continuous movie mode. Included red eye reduction feature USB2.0 port and AV port are available
IrSimple feature - Infrared rays used to transfer the photos Powered by rechargeable NP-45 Lithium ion battery Supports xD- picture card, SD and SDHC memory cards Supports AC adaptor (a spare battery is a good
idea for long day shoots)
performs well up to ISO of 400 and after that it suffers noise and disturbance shutter speed is less (actually worse in continuous shooting mode; fps drops to 0.83) zoom quality is good (but quality degrades as
zoom increases)
Face detection system works below average Fujifilm has failed to add image stabilization Battery life is pretty good
It suffers chromatic aberrations and forms purple fringes (similar to Z10fd).
Compact and slim design Various colour options Price White balance Technologies such as face detection Good performance at higher ISO Solid feel
Slow shutter speeds Image noise around ISO 400 Lens capacity AF and flash
Manual control is not promising
Purely targeting the young generation Misses many image quality features Compact digital camera with better megapixel and easy movie mode Fujifilm has to consider the customer problems
while releasing a new version
