Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd

Opinion: Good camera! Compact, smart, quick and easy. Some noise if you make pictures indoor with bad light, but with good light photos very nice. Good programs and realistic colors.

Opinion: I was quite surprised by this model. I think the image quality is excellent at low ISO's. It's as good and surpasses most of the competition. OK noise is bad over iso 400 and there aint much manual controls but thats not what this camera will be used for.
Macro is quite good also.

Opinion: Why does anyone buy a camera?
To take pictures of course. The picture quality of this camera is the worst I have every experienced. This is trully a shame on Fuji because every other aspect of the camera is very good to excellent. None of the picutes are sharp regardless of the ISO setting.

I bought this for my wife as she is slowly catching the picture taking fever. She loved the compact size, styling and simple operation of the camera and at about $150 figured it would be an excellent value. Well given that the picture quality is absolutely horrible it turned out to be a huge rip off. This is truly a shame as my wife really liked the camera but if it does not take good pictures what is the point?

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)

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: 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: 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.
