The FujiFilm FinePix A610
The FujiFilm FinePix A610 was announced in early 2007. Much ado was made about this camera, because it combined for the first time Fujis proprietary Super CCD HR sensor and Real Photo Processor. This dual technology means cleaner pictures with more detail something digital camera enthusiasts are always looking for. And the cameras affordable price tag is another major selling point. It exceeds most peoples performance expectations for a $130 digital camera.
The FujiFilm FinePix A610 is a 6.1 megapixel camera with a maximum ISO sensitivity of 400. It has a 3x optical zoom. Most impressively, the Fujifilm FinePix A610 features a dual memory card slot which accepts both Fujifilms xD-Picture Card and Secure Digital (SD) card format. The FujiFilm FinePix A610 is powered by two AA batteries. It comes with 10MB of internal memory, allowing photographers to take and store pictures without a memory card. Customers appreciate this cameras ease of use. It has a highly touted intuitive button layout, as well as easy-to-navigate access menus.
In fact, this digital camera seems to have been designed with beginners in mind. Fourteen scene positions and multiple picture settings make this camera a great choice for new photographers. Its generous 2.5 inch LCD is coated with an anti-glare protector that lets users preview their pictures even in bright light. Fuji has added a new baby setting that captures the true color of newborns flesh tones. New parents, traditionally a camera-happy lot, can really appreciate this feature. Soccer moms and dads will love the sports setting which reduces the blur in action shots.
Customer reviews of the FujiFilm FinePix A610 are mixed, but mostly positive. The user-friendly design of the buttons and menus is widely praised. The picture quality, however, has been brought into question. Some users complain that pictures come out looking a bit oversaturated. Others have observed that indoor pictures come out a little too dark. The camera seems to perform best when used for outdoor photography.
Also, the cameras video quality doesnt seem to be on par with other cameras in the same price range. The FujiFilm FinePix A610 captures movies in QVGA at a rate of thirty frames per second, without sound. This doesnt keep the camera from receiving high marks in other areas, but many of its peers produce higher resolution video with sound included.
The bottom line is that the FujiFilm PinePix A610 is a nice camera for beginners. It has easy-to-use buttons, menus, and settings. But for the best quality pictures and videos, you might do well to look elsewhere.
This digital camera retails for about $130 US, and can be found online or at any major electronics store.
