FujiFilm FinePix JZ300


$200.00 Released February, 2010

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Compact size supports take-anywhere portability with easy purse/pocket storage. Auto-focus works quickly and effectively. 10x optical zoom provides consistent clarity with sufficient sunlight functionality.

The Cons:HD video recording can produce hit and miss results depending on lighting and weather conditions. Anti-shake feature for motion photography rarely works well. Indoor picture quality is rather poor - flash integration results in blurred, grainy and distorted imagery.

The FujiFilm FinePix JZ300 is one of four compact digital cameras (JV100, JX250, JZ300, JZ500) released in early 2010. The JZ300 builds from the JV100 by incorporating a much-improved 10x optical zoom via a high-powered Fujinon wide-angel lens, allowing it to deliver visuals with high precision.
