Editorial Review:Product Description:The FinePix F10 Zoom is characterized by incredibly clean images, due to its refined Super CCD sensor and 'Real Photo Processor'. These two components are the outcome of thousands of hours of research by Fujifilm's imaging technicians, and reflect the company's desire to set, rather than chase, image quality benchmarks. The newly designed 6.3 megapixel Super CCD sensor features Fujifilm's trademark octagonal photodiodes, which act as more efficient light receptors than traditional CCD structures.The new Real Photo Processor provides an unprecedented sensitivity range from ISO 80 to ISO 1600, all achievable at full resolution. This means that immaculately pure images are captured, even in low light situations, such as social events, whilst minimizing camera shake and subject movement. Furthermore, the Real Photo Processor enables users to photograph without flash, thereby ensuring more natural-looking results, and extending the already considerable battery life.The camera's ability is further underlined by some impressive speed statistics. Improving on the quickfire FinePix F810 Zoom, the F10 Zoom doubles the screen refresh rate to an amazing 60 frames per second, whilst still having time to achieve continual autofocus. And with a shutter time lag of just 0.01 seconds, 1.1 seconds between frames for consecutive shots and just 1.3 seconds needed for start-up, this is a camera with truly rapid reactions.The FinePix F10 Zoom accommodates a generous 2.5-inch high definition LCD monitor, which features an automatic brightness adjustment function, allowing users to amend the brightness of the monitor for enhanced visibility in low light. This feature can also be adjusted manually, while a quick view window allows the user to check three previous shots on the LCD screen in addition to the live image.

Very satisfied with it
First off, I am an ordinary point-and-shoot gal with just a little tech knowledge to know enough how to play with digicams. I am not a photography expert. So this review is more for users like me.
My first digital camera was a Finepix 1 MP when it was freshly out of the market (bought it at $400 then in HongKong). It took sharp beautiful pictures and had very fast shutter speed (an important feature I came to appreciate when my husband had a 4MP Kodak, which could not capture the moment when you take pictures during family gatherings because of its super slow shutter speed which I presumed to be secondary to its higher MP). Because of that, he gave me a 6MP Finepix F10 as a gift (my 1 MP then had been giving me beatufiul pics for 5 years, through abuse of having been dropped at least 2 times from a height of 4 feet or 2 ft unprotected bya camera case, subjected to showers of some water or flour since I do foodblogging). One thing I can say, Finepix really lasts.
Now with F10, I am taking better photos with higher resolution as well. Very good in low light,especially when I want to take macro photos of my food. Ordinary photos of family and friends are very good. Pictures of family during night inside the house has become sharper compared to old Finepix (so it's an improvement). Sometimes I have enough light from the house lights that I even have to suppress the flash and F10 will automatically adjust and give me better, sharper photos. Its image-stabilization feature and still fast shutter speed are things to emphasize. Oh, and battery power really lasts, that my xD card's capacity is the limiting factor instead.
After owning the Finepix F10 and learning to use the additional features and adjusting to the different menu, my husband's Kodak 4MP suddenly went dead, no nothing... (after using it for about 2 years) and we suspected one of the kids probably dropped it (we had no proof). So on our anniversary I gave him a 12 MP Kodak (because that's what he was used to) though we had quite a wait for Kodak to come up with high MP that uses Li-Ion battery. Kodak seem to have improved on its shutter speed and still takes good quality photos. I cannot say much in comparison between the two because I do not want to bother learning how to use a different menu. I brought this up because I want to compare sturdiness. After 10 months of owning this new Kodak, it suddenly gave us pics with white horizontal lines, worse for outdoors photos, without having been subjected to dropping or water sprays (my husband made sure he took good care of this one, not allowing any of the kids use it). Good thing we kept the receipt. It just went to the manufacturer yesterday for repair. Hope they won't charge us anything.
My F10 is still going...still subjected to flour, oily/sticky hands, dust, sprinkles...
Oh, and I love the size...enough for me to handle it. I never liked too little cameras because they are hard to handle. The casing also appears expensive, not plastic. Not sure what it is made of. And yes, it is made in Japan...Love it!
Why I am giving it 4 stars??? Because I have not spent enough time with it to truly learn how to use other features/settings which I rarely use. But for my most-often used settings, I give it 5 stars.

One of the greatest Camera!
I adore this camera. I now also have the F31fd which is also great. You can't go wrong with Fuji.

Used Finepix review.
I am enjoying the camera with no problems. Would have been nice to have had access to long term "insurance" just as a precaution.

Over 3 and still kickin!
Figured I should finally review this product. After having it for 3 years, I can definitely say this is the best digital camara I've ever owned. I've had quite a few different brands of camera run through my family & friends and this one always comes out on top as most convenient AND highest quality.
It was my first personal camera as well, and I think I'll be sticking with the Fuji brand for a long time. 3 years after getting it, it still has great battery life- I only have to charge it twice a month (tops) and I use this thing ALL the time. Like almost every day. Cam to computer is easy as pie- no software needed. Great quality photos- I'm an art student, so I use this camera for all sorts of things; personal photos of friends, artistic photography, reference photos, and for taking high quality photos of my work. It's never failed me!
I have to say, everyone who encounters me using thing is instantly jealous and starts asking about it. Same with photos I post online. People with their own cameras (including my sister, who has two professional cameras of her own) always just end up asking to borrow mine because it's just so darn easy to use and takes great pics! Point-n-shoot, baby. Fast as lightning~ (Yeah that like second start-up time? Awesoooome!)
Letting go of this cam will be hard, but I intend to keep it as LONG as it lives! And it's been through its fair share of bumps & dents, hehe. But when I do eventually run this thing into the ground, I plan on buying the most similar cam Fuji has to offer! ;)

Good Buy For Buck
This camera, though less-pricy than some of its competitors, outshines the competition. It might not be the best buy for you if you want incredibly professional quality photos, but for the more casual/ informal photographers, this camera rocks!! You have your choice of various scene settings, and the picture quality is usually good (even if on the higher ISO settings). The camera also has other nifty features that prevent blurry photos and unfocused shots. My only problem with this camera is that the capture button is sometimes hard to maneuver, and a little resistant at times. Overall, however, this camera is a good buy for your buck!!
