Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd

Opinion: I remembered my previous finepix camera f400 and was hoping was good image quality.

But eventho this is a very nice pocket camera - the size is good, handle is niec too - the image quality is poor.

It does focus relatively fast and its speed and his of use matches all everday life situations. BUT even at 100ISO noise is all over.

Well all pictures may look nice on the LCD and on the screen but it lacks something, it lacks crispness and details, plus the ambient noise gives it a feeling of bluriness.

I have now played for 1 week and I will return it.

Opinion: Pathetic in low light! - I bought this camera to replace my trusty-but-failing Sony DSC-T1. I expected that low-light performance would be good, especially after the advances made by the Fuji F20/30/40 series. I couldn't have been more wrong. The performance in even moderate light is mediocre, with very visible noise at all ISOs over 200. Much worse than the 3 year old Sony I was accustomed to, and not acceptable at all for me. Too bad, because this camera is well built and has some nice features, with good controls and menu layout. I would only reccomend this camera if you were going to be using it exclusively in very well-lit environments, like outdoor daytime shots. Otherwise, forget it.

Opinion: Well now I know that you can buy a "BIG NAME" manufacturer's camera and go wrong :(

The Z10 fd may be designed for use with the internet but must mage sharpness and noise go back to the 3 mps era?

It may say 7.2 mps on the box but the picture quality is similar to what you'd get with a high quality mobile phone.
Forget Fuji's renowned low light ability ; this camera just isn't in the same league as earlier models with noise being a significant problem.

However , if you're an avid blogger or Ebayer , then the range of features may be useful and Fuji's Face Detection is quite amazing.

Overall I couldn't recommend it for pictures bigger than wallet size.

I've had the camera 3 weeks and I'm giving it away to a relative...yeah it's that good!!!

What were Fuji thinking when they marketed this?
This is not a Photographer's camera.

Opinion: A lightweight compact camera for unimportant occasions. If you are interested in the looks and modern internet age capabilities rather than image quality, you may want to use this camera. Otherwise I do not recommend it.
Pros:
Good macro performance
face detection
auction feature (multiple shots in one image)
