Digital Camera Review reviewed the 6 megapixel Fujifilm FinePix F470 and thinks it makes capturing striking photos dead simple -
“Like Fuji’s legendary Finepix 2600, the stylish little F470 is a very basic digital camera and an excellent choice for first time digital camera buyers who want a reasonably priced, genuinely uncomplicated, solidly built, and ultra-compact digital camera. The eminently pocketable little F470 performs like a champ in all outdoor settings, making it a natural choice for casual photographers, snap-shooters, and weight/space conscious backpackers, mountain bikers, and rucksack travelers. Chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and noise are a bit higher than average, macro/close-up and dim/low light performance leave something to be desired, and battery life is just decent, but the Spartan little F470 is a super picture taker.”
The only real gripe I have with the F470 is that the Exposure Compensation setting is not displayed on the LCD screen, but the camera remembers the setting when it is powered down. This means users (who forget to zero out the exposure compensation before they turn the camera off) may end up shooting something important with plus or minus exposure compensation settings from an earlier photographic adventure. Auto only P&S digital cameras should return to the default settings each time the camera is powered down.
