Fujifilm FinePix F470 review at DPInterface
Posted by Steve on April 30th, 2006
A review of the Fujifilm FinePix F470 digital camera is available at DPInterface.
The Fujifilm Finepix F470 is an ultra compact 6 megapixel camera with a 3 times optical zoom and a large 2.5 inch LCD display, in a stylish all metal body. Designed for ease of use, this point and shoot camera is suitable for the beginning photographer, who will appreciate the F470’s automatic shooting mode, as well as the selection of predefined scene modes.
The review results:
“If only its LCD covered 100% of the frame, if only it had better battery life and if only it was faster. I think that the FinePix F470 is good but not good enough. For the same price, the Sony W50 offers the same things but also has an LCD with 100% coverage, 80% better battery life, an AF-assist beam and is slightly faster.
What’s hot:
* Simple, user friendly and very compact
* Powerful flash
* Useful but few scene modes
* Big LCD with average visibility
* Good movie mode
* Good image quality and fairly low noise
What’s not:
* LCD is low in resolution and only covers 97% of the frame
* Below average battery life
* No AF-assist beam
* Slow, limited continuous shooting
* Slow performance”
