Fujifilm FinePix JV100 Digital Camera - Black (12MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD

Product Information

Ideal for photographing portraits or group shots of people, the A series cameras feature Fujifilm’s Face Detection technology to ensure the settings are optimised for the people in the picture. Candid shots in low-light are made simple with the Natural Light mode, which automatically increases the ISO to enable the flash to be forced off for discreet, non-intrusive shots. The two new A series compacts are divided in to two categories dependent on their zoom capabilities. The 12 megapixel AV100 boasts a 3x Fujinon zoom, whilst the 14 megapixel AX280 features a versatile Fujinon 5x, 28mm wide-angle zoom lens. With HD image and video capture the new JX and JV cameras will produce stunning, detailed images that can be enjoyed in glorious High Definition on any HD ready television * or PC. FUJIFILM MyFinePix Studio also has a variety of editing features to enhance the quality of digital photos. It has an auto-enhancement feature, which automatically adjusts the brightness, contrast, and color of a photo. It also has a red-eye reduction feature, which helps to reduce the appearance of red-eye in photos. Additionally, it has a variety of filters, which can be used to create unique effects. Overall And, for those occasions when stills just don’t do a moment justice, the JX and JV cameras feature HD Movie Mode with sound which lets you record those precious memories and relive them time and time again.

Whichever camera you choose, the high resolution sensors and top quality Fujinon optics combine with the high sensitivity settings (to ISO 3200) to deliver sharp, clear images in all conditions. There’s also Digital Image Stabilisation to reduce image blur caused by hand shake or subject movement. Finally, the rear offers a 2.7in LCD screen, which displays images and video at a resolution of 230,000 dots, and covers approximately 96% of the scene. As with many other compacts the model is compliant with the SD and SDHC memory card formats, but not the latest high-capacity SDXC variant which is steadily becoming available. Ensuring silky smooth skin tones & banishing blemishes is easy with Fujifilm's Portrait enhancer mode. Using Fujifilm's proprietary “Double Noise Reduction” image processing and Face Detection technology, it captures and retouches your portraits without any intervention needed. Scene Recognition Auto (SR AUTO) ensures that you get a good picture every time. It intelligently detects the scene type and shooting conditions, and optimises the camera’s focus, exposure and white balance to achieve perfect results. So whether you’re photographing flowers or shooting a holiday landscape, you will get flawless photos at the press of a button. Or if you prefer you can choose one of 13 programmed scene modes for extra control.In addition the versatile 28mm wide-angle lens is perfect for wide landscapes or large group shots as it ensures you capture everything in stunning detail. February 2, 2010: With a core specification of a generous 10x optical zoom, 28mm wide-angle lens, advanced CCD-shift image stabilisation system, HD image and movie capture, and 12 or 14 Megapixel resolution dependent on the model, the JZ300 and JZ500 offer an impressive feature set which will suit a wide range of consumers. The JX200 features a high-quality Fujinon 5x optical zoom with 28mm wide-angle lens, plus there’s Digital Image Stabilisation to ensure image blurring is kept to a minimum, while JV models (JV100/150) have 3x Fujinon optics (37-111mm equivalent). The new FinePix JZ series of long-zoom compact cameras encompasses style, substance and affordability in a winning formula.

It’s in good light, however, that the camera also shows its shortcomings. It’s perhaps just as well that camera’s lens starts from 37mm as even at this focal length the camera shows its poor control over flare, which gives rise to a general loss of contrast. The camera’s limited dynamic range is also clear with the loss of highlight detail, while its propensity to use flash in macro mode can result in unnaturally looking close up images. Throughout the test the red-eye reduction feature also failed to completely eliminate red-eye in some subjects. Verdict The Fujifilm FinePix products are a line of digital cameras produced by Fujifilm. They include compact point and shoot models, tough, waterproof models, bridge digital cameras, digital SLRs and mirrorless cameras. Many use Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD technology sensors and CMOS sensors for high-end models.
