DCResource Reviews Fuji FinePix F700
Digital Camera Resource have reviewed the much-delayed Fuji FinePix F700, which was first announced back at PMA in February, but hasn’t begun shipping until now. Fuji claims the the F700 sensor improves image quality by widening the dynamic range, rather than just increasing the number of pixels. This should mean more detail in the shadow and highlight areas of an image than Fuji cameras have previously captured. Find out if Digital Camera Resource agree.
“Cameras with zoom lenses don’t start any faster than the F700. It’s startup speed is stunning: it takes just 1.8 seconds before you can start shooting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lens extend and retract this quickly.
The F700 is just as fast in terms of AF speeds. It locked focus in about 1/2 second in most cases. In low light, it’s AF illuminator helped it focus pretty well, although it blinks on and off much faster than others I’ve seen.”
