Fujifilm FinePix J50

The Fujifilm FinePix J50 is an entry-level compact digital camera in a stylish body that aims to make the camera look and feel more expensive than it is. Several scene modes are included to help consumers simply point-and-shoot while still getting the results they want. The 5x optical zoom lens offers more range than the 3x lenses that are typical of compact digital cameras in this price range. However, reviews describe image quality at higher ISO settings as noise and sub-par. Since the image stabilization offered by the J50 is simply ISO compensation (if shake is detected the camera uses a higher ISO setting, which allows for a faster camera speed) the telephoto range of the zoom requires a steady hand or tripod to ensure image quality isn't sacrificed. As with most compact digital cameras on the market, the J50 captures VGA resolution video.
