You can never be too thin, right?
It’s the way with people. It’s the way of technology too. Tech’s gone micro and cameras are at it as well.
Over at Fujifilm they’ve introduced their thinnest camera yet, the FujiFilm Fine Pix z100fd . It packs a nifty aesthetic punch and comes in four delicious colours - shell pink, silver, cappuccino brown and tuxedo black and with the illuminated Z logo along the side and the two tone paint job, it packs an aesthetic punch.
So, it looks nice but is it up to the job? Are all those sleek lines just well sleek lines?
The spec’s top notch and it pretty much convinced me to invest my cash in a new camera. With a meagre weight of 138g it’s one of the lightest digi cameras around and despite its paltry dimensions - 92.0 (W), 55.7 (H) and 19.8 (D) - it packs in a TARDIS-like X5 optical zoom, a CCD shift for image stabilisation, face detection and red eye removal.
It’s the face detection system that really sets this camera apart from others on the market. It finds and corrects red eye from any face in the frame so that when you snap away, your chances of getting a picture perfect portrait are increased ten fold.
On the camera itself there are few external controls, just 8 in total. This is a point and shoot camera so what more do you need. All 8 of the external controls are clearly labeled with industry-standard symbols. You can directly access the various flash, macro self-timer and image stabilisation options by clicking on the four sides of the navigation pad. As with most other FujiFilm digital cameras, the FinePix Z100fd has a Menu button on the rear that gives you access to the software menu system.
The FujiFilm Fine PixZ100fd will wow the most ardent of camera geeks, just as much as the fashion heads. Sure, the high quality finish sets a luxurious standard but there’s no denying the tech spec that’ll give you a great picture, shot after shot after shot.
