A review of the Fujifilm Finepix F30 is available at ephotozine. The Fujifilm Finepix F30 is a very compact digital camera equipped with 6.3 megapixel resolution. It is equally suited to point and shoot photographers as well as more advanced photographers who want more control, such as Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority.
The review conclusion:
“There is no doubt that the Fuji Finepix F30 is a fantastic compact camera. Images are clear, sharp, colourful and the control over digital noise is superb.
Even though I managed to find a couple of oversights with the design, such as the slow maximum aperture at the long end of the zoom and the lack of a histogram display - these points seem trivial when compared to positive features the camera has to offer.”

A review of the Fuji Finepix A400 digital camera is available at cameras.co.uk. The Fujifilm FinePix A400 is an inexpensive and easy to use entry level digital camera. The A400 is equipped with 4 megapixels optical resolution, a 1.8 inch LCD screen and a 3 times optical zoom.
The review verdict:
“The Fuji Finepix A400 is a basic, easy to use digital camera. It is keenly priced, but I am not convinced it offers value for money. Any digital camera has to be judged on its picture quality and this is an area where the Finepix A400 struggles.”

A review of the Fuji FinePix F30 digital camera is available at DCRP. The Fujifilm Finepix F30 is a 6.3 megapixel, ultra compact digital camera with a 3x optical zoom and a 2.5 inch display. It is equally suited to point and shoot photographers as well as more advanced photographers who want more control, such as Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority.
Here is part of the review conclusion:
“It’s not very often where I really become fond of a camera that I review. Usually this happens with expensive digital SLRs that I can only dream about. This time around, I fell in love with a compact camera — the Fuji FinePix F30. While it’s not quite perfect, the F30 won me over with its great high ISO performance, battery life, LCD, and manual controls. It’s a camera that I can recommend without hesitation. […]
Camera performance was very good in most areas. The F30 starts up quickly, focusing times were above average, and I didn’t find shutter lag to be a problem. […] Photo quality was very good, especially in terms of high ISO performance. The F30 isn’t quite as clean as a digital SLR, but it’s way better than your typical fixed lens camera. You can print 8 x 10’s (and maybe larger) all the way through ISO 800, with smaller prints at ISO 1600.”

A review of the Fujifilm FinePix V10 digital camera is available at imaging resource. The Fujifilm Finepix V10 is an ultra compact 5.1 megapixel camera with a 3.4x optical zoom and a very large 3 inch LCD display. The Finepix V10 also comes with 4 built-in games, a first in digital cameras.
The review impression:
“There’s a lot to like on the Fujifilm FinePix V10. It’s a sleek and snazzy snapshooter with a huge 3-inch LCD with very good resolution that makes composing shots on the live screen and image playback a joy. The Fujifilm V10 is also reasonably responsive, powering on quickly and moving briskly from shot to shot so you’re always ready to take pictures. […] Under low light and more contrasty conditions, however, the Fujifilm V10 fared less well despite its vaunted “low-noise” high ISO settings of 800 and 1,600: a disappointment. […]
What the games do provide is a way to show off the Fujifilm V10’s fabulous screen, which, along with camera’s great design and excellent usability, warrant a recommendation, but just miss out on a Dave’s Pick.”

DigitalCameraReview have reviewed the Fujifilm Finepix V10. The Fujifilm Finepix V10 is an ultra compact 5.1 megapixel camera with a 3.4 times optical zoom and a remarkable 3 inch LCD screen, which takes up the entire back of the camera. The V10 is also one of the first cameras to offer built in games.
The results of the review:
“The Fujifilm FinePix V10 is a 21st century version of George Eastman’s 19th Century Kodak box camera, the world’s very first point & shoot. Like Eastman’s camera, the V10 was designed to be easy to use (just line up the image in the viewfinder and push the shutter button), capable of consistently capturing very good pictures in a variety of outdoor settings, and not too expensive. Like Eastman’s camera, the V10 makes it easy to capture those moments, people, and places that illustrate our life stories.
Pros: Very good photo quality, compact and stylish, 3″ high resolution LCD screen, Snappy performance, Nice movie mode, games, USB 2.0 High Speed support
Cons: Mediocre battery life, no optical viewfinder, and no built-in thumb rest.”

A review of the Fuji Finepix S9000 digital ultra zoom camera, also known as the Finepix S9500, has been published at cameras.co.uk. The Fuji Finepix S9000 is a fixed lens camera with 9 megapixels resolution and a 10.7 times optical zoom. The S9000 has impressive wide lens, with a focal length of 28-300mm, 35mm equivalent.
The review conclusion:
“If you do not want the expense of a Digital SLR camera then the Fuji Finepix S9500 could be the answer you are looking for. It has a great set of features and takes good photos. I was especially impressed with its work indoors is less than perfect light. This is certainly a camera for someone who is serious about photography rather than someone with a passing interest.”

Steve’s Digicams have reviewed the Fujifilm Finepix A400 digital camera. The Fujifilm FinePix A400 is an inexpensive and easy to use entry level digital camera. The A400 is equipped with 4 megapixels optical resolution, a 1.8 inch LCD screen and a 3 times optical zoom. The Fujifilm A400 is powered by 2 AA type batteries which can easily be replaced while travelling.
The review results:
“The Fujifilm FinePix A400 was a mixed bag. It produced average quality indoor and outdoor images, but its versatility is limited by its relatively weak flash and poor autofocus performance in dim lighting. But at a street price under $150, cost-conscious consumers might overlook its shortcomings and consider it a good value. Those for whom price is less of a consideration should also look at the Fujifilm A500; with less image noise at ISO 100 and identical features except for its 5-megapixel imager, it is available for about $30 more.”
