StevesDigicams - 01 March’08 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and felt it was incredibly easy to use. Here’s a summary of their review -
“Image quality was about middle of the road for a 7 megapixel camera. Colors were sharp and exposures were right on however they did experience some white balance issues. White balance issues appeared to be between shots taken with and without flash. About the only other issue was the image displayed on the LSD was pretty grainy and it made it difficult to accurately judge the photo. Final thoughts - looks like a camera for younger on the go set it on auto and shoot crowd.”
ComputerActive - 22 January’08 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and liked the face detection technology. Here’s a summary of their review -
“The image stabilization works really well but be warned that it affects how the camera produces colors and brightness, as in it degrades them. Also, the auction mode was kind of nice in that combined several photos into one, nice touch.”
DigitalCameraReview - 04 January’08 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and notes the cameras exposure compensation is pretty inaccurate and shadow details tends to be too dark. Here’s a summary of their review -
“If you use image quality as your basis to judge a camera then you will probably scratch the Z10fd off your list. Its price may lure you but its features and shooting flexibility pull it down.”
WhatDigitalCamera - 02 January’08 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and thought the pictures from the camera were bright with well saturated colors. Here’s a summary of their review -
“Taking pictures on a nice day is what this camera is all about. But once the clouds are overhead or the sun goes does it struggles to produce even passable photos. It’s ISO based auto blur system just can’t keep up with other cameras full on image stabilization.”
Unbeatable - 05 December’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and thought the pictures from the camera were bright with well saturated colors. Here’s an excerpt from their review -
“For the targeted group of the Fuji Finepix Z10FD, this camera will perform well and is very reasonably priced too. It is very user-friendly and is the perfect companion on a night out or day trip.”
CNET - 04 December’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and warns that the camera according to the lab tests is just plain slow. Here’s an excerpt from their review conclusion -
“While the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd is aggressively priced, there are other cameras out there that can deliver better image quality for about the same amount of money. Z10fd’s has a cute design with a dazzling array of colors, but I’d rather be dazzled by images I shoot with my camera instead of images of my camera.”
PCMag - 01 December’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and felt this camera makes more of style statement and less of a quality picture statement. Here’s an excerpt from their review conclusion -
“On my field tests, the FinePix Z10fd’s images were sometimes soft, and the camera often upped ISO levels, resulting in noisy photos. To test its performance against our Editors’ Choice, I snapped the same shots using a Canon PowerShot SD1000. The PowerShot consistently delivered clean images at 100 ISO; the FinePix, however, recorded the same images at a more fuzzy ISO 400.”
InfoSync - 27 November’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and comments this is a nice easy to use and cheap camera. Here’s an excerpt from their review conclusion -
“Aspiring photographers, this camera is not for you. The image quality is average at best, and the shooting features are designed to assist in the proliferation of the photos as opposed to making them look their best. That being said, we’re sure our favorite 12-year-old will want one. It’s easy to use, makes posting photos to blogs easy, and is close to having the right idea with the IR beaming feature. It’s not at the top of our list for point-and-shoots, but if you’re looking for an inexpensive first digital camera for your tween, the FinePix Z10fd is a solid choice.”
CNET Australia - 14 November’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and notes the cameras speed is really slow. Here’s an excerpt from their review bottom line -
“With few features and lackluster performance, the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd is an undistinguished compact point-and-shoot. But the size and styling — and price — make it a perfect present for the youth market, especially if they are more likely to share pictures online in social networks rather than prints in photo albums.”
Cameras.co.uk - 07 November’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and warns the picture quality is bad. Here’s an excerpt from their review verdict -
“The Finepix Z10 fd was a disappointment to me. The upside is it looks good, is compact and is very easy to use. The downside is that the picture quality left quite a bit to be desired. If you are looking for a colorful camera to take fun snapshots with this camera might do the job, for any extra quality, look elsewhere.”
InfoSync - 26 October’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and comments the IR technology used is quite frankly, old. Here’s an excerpt from their review -
“Of the four current Z-series models, the Z10fd certainly stands out the most. A brand new “Twin Ring” button structure on the back panel of the camera pairs with a curvy form factor to separate it from the sharp, crisp lines of the rest of the Z-series. The Z10fd also becomes one of only two Z-series cameras that are compatible with both SD and SDHC memory cards in addition to xD. It is also available in 7 colors, as opposed to the Z-series standard of 4.”
T3 - 22 October’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and admits that if you’re looking for a cheap and easy to operate camera this might be your choise. Here’s an excerpt from their review -
“After lining shots up on the 2.5-inch screen and zapping them to the 54MB memory or an xD or SD card, pics can be transferred to another camera with Fuji’s ‘IrSimple’ wireless, although the usefulness of that is, shall we say, “arguable”.”
GoodGearGuide - 11 October’07 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and likes the style and design but indicates the picture quality is not good. Here’s an excerpt from their review -
“One of the unit’s selling points is its built-in IRSimple support. IRSimple is an infrared wireless protocol that operates faster than traditional IR. It allows the Z10fd to transmit pictures to any compatible infrared device, providing line of site is available. This makes for quick and easy printing provided you have an appropriate printer.”
PhotoReview reviews the Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd and writes;
“For its price, the Z10fd is a nice little camera that may suit some people in its target market. Unfortunately, however, the test camera’s picture-taking performance was rather ordinary. Imatest showed resolution to be well below expectations, right across the image field. There was a noticeable deterioration in sharpness at ISO settings of 400 and above and severe barrel distortion from the widest angle of view to mid-way along the zoom range.”
