Fujifilm FinePix Z10fd

Any time an electronics manufacturer creates a product targeted at teenagers, we start to worry. Too often it means a poorly performing product with a slick design and an inflated price tag.

Design

Fujifilm's new FinePix Z10fd, which is intended for the mid-teen to mid-twenties market, certainly has a nice look with its bright colors, silver accents, and horizontally sliding lens cover.

The rest of the specs are run of the mill. The Z10fd includes a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor, a 3x optical 38mm-to-114mm equivalent F3.7-to-F4.2 zoom lens, and a 2.5-inch LCD screen. However, given the camera's sub-S$400 price tag, these unremarkable features come as no surprise.

If you're worried about complicated controls, don't be. The FinePix Z10fd's hard button controls consist of two four-way rocker rings, a Menu/OK button inside the bottom of the two rings, a display button, and the shutter button.

The sliding lens cover turns the camera on and off. The top of the two rings offers zoom controls, as well as access to face detection and playback modes. The bottom ring lets you activate the camera's ISO-boosting Picture Stabilization mode (you won't find optical or sensor-shift stabilization here), as well as macro, flash, and self-timer modes.
