Fujifilm FinePix Z30, the Ultimate Gizmo for Fashionistas
Introduction: Vibrant colors, pocket size and cute looks-a perfect teen stuff, this is what Fujifilm FinePix Z 30 camera is made of! Aimed at the funky college-going teens and those who like playing with toy-like gadgets, let’s see if this camera can capture the heart of an average shooter! This camera is a total no-no for professionals as it lacks the performance and the finesse of a professional gadget.
Features: One of the prominent features of the FujiFilm FinePix Z30 camera is its SR Auto(Scene Recognition Auto) feature which helps the camera to recognize the scene mode and adjust its settings automatically. The camera can detect as many as 10 faces with its Face detection feature and also has the Timer setting included. With the timer function you can set the time for a couple, group or a set of number of people to come together for a picture and when it’s done the camera starts clicking right away. You will have ample storage space as the camera comes equipped with 50 MB internal memory and is also compatible with SD/SDHC cards.
Pros:
• Belying the expectations of its rivals, this compact camera has managed to carry off the feat of housing 3x zoom along with 10 megapixels resolution.
• With High sensitivity ISO 1600 in your kit, let not the darkness disrupt your shooting anymore.
• Shoot shake-free pictures with the picture stabilization feature; and the anti-blur function reduces the blurring and distortion of the images considerably without sacrificing the picture quality.
Cons:
• The design of the camera stands as a testimony for poor ergonomics and the bright gaudy colors might daunt the aesthetic sensibility of many. Use it first, to avoid ugly surprises later.
• While shooting in low-lit environment, using the auto mode can be a farce as it tends to make the pictures look darker. Choose a befitting scene mode from the presets before you continue any further.
• Image quality suffers often with this camera taking a ride downhill on contrary to its steep price and for the same price you can definitely get a better performing one.
• Zoom option is painfully slow and even the functionality of the navigational menus is below average.
Pricing Range: Available in the lively colors of White, Black, Pink, Orange & Purple this gorgeous camera will cost you around 99$- 180$!
Final Verdict: If you are somebody who likes curves and glossy bodies, then FujiFilm FinePix Z30 is the one for you. You’ll love its looks and trendy features that are second to none but might have to compromise on several grounds in the end. If you are ready to forego few functional aspects, then you shouldn’t wait to flaunt this piece around!
