Reviewers Conclusions & Verdicts – (updated 02 October’08)
ePhotozine
“The D700 simply blows away any DSLR Nikon has previously produced (except for the D3, of course). If you like your camera to do everything for you then you’ve come to the right place as the J50 doesn’t allow any changes to be made to the focusing or metering. Even the face detection comes on automatically.”

CNET Asia reviews the Fujifilm FinePix J50 and they write -
“The J50 is strictly for beginners who want a simple shooter to start exploring the world of photography. While the extensive modes make up for the lack of fancy features, little has been done to salvage the less-than-desired image quality.”

“Well from the first picture I took, I knew there would be a problem. I took about 40 pictures trying to play with the settings and sizes, but all the pictures still look grainy and fuzzy. The quality is not what I expected and it left me wondering, where are the 8MPs?”

“I received this camera in April, and have been experimenting with it to find the “secret” to great pictures. NO LUCK so far! I am researching other digital cameras – and have been since May. Obviously, there is no hope for this Fujifilm. What a let down! “

Press Excerpt
Fujifilm UK today announced the debut of a brand new J Series of digital cameras, with the FinePix J10 and J50. Designed for consumers seeking an affordable digital camera that doesn’t compromise on features, the FinePix J10 and J50 provide powerful, easy to use models that fit into a pocket or handbag for instant accessibility.
Housed in a compact body just 19mm thick, the FinePix J10 incorporates an 8.2 Megapixel CCD sensor, a 2.5” LCD and a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens. The FinePix J50 takes things a step further, adding a high resolution 2.7”, 230K pixel LCD and a powerful Fujinon 5x optical zoom that provides a 37mm-185mm equivalent focal length range. Despite the larger zoom and screen the FinePix J50’s compact design is remarkably svelte, at only 23mm thick.
The FinePix J10 and J50 are available in either Matt Black or Brushed Silver. There’s also the special edition FinePix J12, which has the same specification as the FinePix J10, but comes in blue and pink. Both models use Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization Mode to reduce blurry images that can be caused by camera shake or subject movement especially in low light settings. Automatically choosing the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed, the FinePix J10 and J50 help to freeze the action and produce the highest-quality digital pictures without the blur and noise often associated with low-light photographs.
