The Fujifilm Finepix F11 is a 6 megapixel digital camera
with a 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5 inch LCD screen. Nothing
extraordinary there, but look under the hood and the Fujifilm
F11 is suddenly a serious contender for the crown of "photographer's
pocket camera". The Fujifilm Finepix F11 is the successor
to the F10, which was voted European Pocket Camera of the
Year 2005/6 thanks mainly to its amazing and completely useable
ISO range of 80-1600. Although the Fujifilm F10 can be used
in low-light conditions without flash, it is also a completely
point and shoot camera with no manual controls, making it
less appealing to the photographer who likes to exert some
control over the picture-making process. Fujifilm have obviously
listened carefully and released the Finepix F11 with, yes,
you've guessed it, manual controls in the form of aperture-priority
and shutter-priority modes, whilst retaining the highly effective
sensor of the F10. Other improvements include a new Natural
Light mode and Anti-blur mode. So have Fujifilm built on the
success of the F10 and created a serious compact camera in
the form of the F11? Read my review to discover the answer...
