Fujifilm FinePix F470 6 Megapixel Compact Camera

Fuji F470

Strengths: Easy to use, compact.

Weakness: I have no problems.

This camera is small enough to fit in your pocket and very easy to use. I had an older version of this model which was stolen on vacation. I am very happy with the upgraded version. It takes great pictures and downloads with ease right to the computer. Great camera for the average person.

Very good for its price

Strengths: small, light, vivid colors, relatively cheap, big lcd, flash is too strong

Weakness: not very good lens resolution, mediocre low-light performance, no optical viewfinder

First and foremost this camera is very small and light, you can pocket it in your shirt and forget it is there. Second comes its price, F470 is as small or smaller than competition, same image quality, same range of settings but cheaper. I don't know if this is just my camera but the flash is too strong at short distances and there is no way to change the intensity. It makes it tricky to take...

First and foremost this camera is very small and light, you can pocket it in your shirt and forget it is there. Second comes its price, F470 is as small or smaller than competition, same image quality, same range of settings but cheaper.

I don't know if this is just my camera but the flash is too strong at short distances and there is no way to change the intensity. It makes it tricky to take indoor pictures. No flash, low-light performance is bad, but that's expected.

I didn't like the use of xD media, mainly because I have many SD cards used in other gadgets. I doubt I would have bought it if not for free 1GB xD card w/ camera purchase at Amazon.

The lens resolution isn't the greatest -- my 3 years old, 3MP Panasonic captures more details. However, this is to be expected and on par with other ultra-compacts.

Overall, this camera is great for the price. Nothing ground-breaking but if you are looking for ultra-compact under $300 this is your best bet (F470 costs under $200 at the time of review).

Excellent Pocket Sized Camera

Strengths: Small, thin camera. Minimal lag time between photos. Large Viewing screen. Great pictures! Rechargable battery.

Weakness: Viewing screen shows the picture to be slightly blurrier than what it actually is.

This was a great buy for a high quality camera. My last camera was a Fuji and I like the brand. I replaced my old one because I got it 3 years ago and wanted a higher mega pixle in a smaller package. Very thin and small-pocket sized. Fits about a palm of a hand. Viewing screen is large, but shows pictures slighly less sharp than what they will be when printed or viewed on a computer. This is the...

This was a great buy for a high quality camera. My last camera was a Fuji and I like the brand. I replaced my old one because I got it 3 years ago and wanted a higher mega pixle in a smaller package. Very thin and small-pocket sized. Fits about a palm of a hand. Viewing screen is large, but shows pictures slighly less sharp than what they will be when printed or viewed on a computer. This is the only negative I have seen with this camera. Takes great pictures, lots of setting options. Battery is rechargable and has a fairly long life (took 3 weeks and approximately 100 pictures until I had to recharge it). Buy this camera-you will not be disappointed.

Nice Camera

Strengths: Small, cheap (features unmatched for the price), and quality pics.

Weakness: External charger a bother to utilize.

Its a great small camera with features and quality that you cannot get for the price. Features and size comparable to Olympus FE-190, but this camera provides better quality images. Fujifilm produces quality cameras and this one is no exception. The big problem though is that you need to remove the battery and charge it in the adapter provided. An adapter that directly connects to the camera is...

An adapter that directly connects to the camera is available but not provided. Not the most user-friendly camera compared to others.

A nice camera!

Strengths: Very solid and thin camera!

Weakness: Not found yet!

I was skeptical when I saw the product picture online. However, when I opened the box, the camera was just very nice,and light. After testing with many conditions, I think this is a good buy for digital camera novice. Very simple to operate but produce quality pictures.
