Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The compact FinePix F410 is one of the first Fujifilm digital cameras to use the new high-dynamic-range Super CCD SR sensor. The camera has a 3.1-megapixel Super CCD SR sensor, which can produce a 6-megapixel image thanks to its innovative layout of paired photodiodes. Updating the popular FinePix F401, the ultraslim FinePix F410 features 50 percent more pixels than its predecessor, a 3x optical zoom, over 90 seconds of video capture, and video-conferencing capability.

Optics and Resolution
At the heart of the FinePix F410 lies the fourth-generation Super CCD SR sensor, capable of delivering an amazing 6 million recorded pixels (2,816 x 2,120 pixels) thanks to its unique honeycomb design and advanced signal processing.

The FinePix F410 features a new high-resolution Super EBC Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens (with 3.6x digital zoom) that delivers improved picture sharpness with increased optical resolving power, as well as greatly improved autofocus performance for both static and moving images.

Fourth-Generation Super CCD HR
Fujifilm's Super CCD HR enables even smaller digital cameras like the the FinePix F410 to provide the benefits of FujiFilm's Third Generation Super CCD, including finer detail, improved dynamic range, higher sensitivity and higher signal to noise ratio.

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on XD memory cards; a 16 MB card is included. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB storage-class connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the FinePix F410 is capable of recording videos with sound up to 98 seconds in length. It shoots at 320 x 240 resolution at 10 frames per second. The FinePix F410 can also append up to 30 seconds of audio to images.

More Features

• 1.5-inch TFT LCD display
• Photo mode button for fast and simple access to main menus, including multilanguage function and easy-to-read screen
• Optional camera dock for transferring photos and battery charging
• Built-in flash with red-eye reduction, auto, forced, off, and slow-sync modes
• High sensitivity settings (up to ISO 800) to allow photography in a wide range of situations, including low light without flash
• Improved autofocus for faster shooting response

Power, Size, and Contents
The camera is powered by a rechargeable NP-60 lithium-ion battery (included). It measures 3.3 x 2.7 x 1.1 inches and weighs 4.6 ounces. This package includes the FinePix F410 digital camera, 16 MB XD memory card, battery and AC adapter/charger, USB and A/V cables, shoulder strap, and CD-ROM with imaging software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish, very small, great shots!!, February 10, 2004

This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix F410 3.14MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

This is my third digital camera, the previous 2 being a Fujifilm FinePix 1300, and a Fujifilm FinePix 2800. My first comment is that I miss the 6x optical zoom of the 2800 which was really powerful.

The camera is beautifully designed, cool looking in a style that will not look out of date in a hurry, and also very compact and thus easy to carry about, say in a shirt pocket. As an architect, I love to be able to whip out and shoot any scenery, sunset or building that catches my fancy at anytime and this serves just fine. To enable me to take lots of photos at a go, I got a 128Mb card which stores 86 images at the 6 mega pixel resolution.

It is very simple to use (you literally snap away once you have set up, which is very easy to do) and shortcut buttons eliminate the need to twiddle in the menu section in search of most options such as different flash settings, different resolution settings, Macro mode (amazing close ups), and many others. There are also some pop ups to guide you, reducing your dependence on the manual (which, like all Fujifilm manuals I have seen, is very detailed and easy to use) except for really major issues.

Images viewed in the LCD display are really clear and bright when it is used as a viewfinder, especially for indoor shots (was dark for my 2 previous cameras). Viewing of images stored on the card is very easy. You can zoom into images (in playback mode), as well as pan around to see hidden bits (at the sides, top and bottom, which are usually hidden the larger the zoomed image is) which I find a very helpful feature. You can also crop images. The welcome LCD display (and accompanying star trek like bleeps) adds a nice touch.

The AF/AE lock is a breeze to use and takes exceptional shots every time. Photo quality is really amazing. You can pick out fine details in the background of the subject. Colours and contrasts are good and sharp. Flash modes are easy to access and dark indoor shots taken using suppressed flash yielded amazing results. However, the darker it is, the more noise in the picture. Outdoor shots on a bright day are unbelievable in their clarity.

The Movie clips with audio are very simple to make, and it is very easy to switch between resolutions (320x240 for 120sec clips, 160x120 for 480sec clips). Results are quite good, though best results are obtained where there is a lot of light, e.g. outdoors on a sunny day.

Battery life is very good but it's always best to have a spare. The battery charges in just under two and a half hours which also is helpful if you don't have all day.

The cradle is stylish looking too. I have mine permanently hooked to my PC and just place the camera on it, switch it on, and the software launches and downloads everything quite fast.
The FinePixViewer software is very good. It is very easy to view folder contents at a glance, set up a slide show, etc. You get lots of print options from full photo, Index 1x2 (2 photos on a sheet), 2x2, through to 7x5.

Print results are simply breathtaking, whatever the size of paper, up to A3. Colours are rich and images very realistic looking.

This is a camera I would recommend without hesitation. It blows away any other camera in its class or price range. I have had it for just 7 months. Friends of mine (one of whom owns a Canon Powershot A70 but wishes he got this) who have handled it are impressed. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive, compact, high resolution camera, look no further. I hope this review helps you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all around digital camera., October 14, 2003

Great camera. Easy to use, and completely compatible with XP. I had no trouble installing it, and no trouble downloading the images. The battery life is fantastic; I never thought it would take so many pictures on a single charge. The images are great, and the Black and White mode along with the Chrome mode (looks like slides), allow for a wide variety of image creativity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera, June 13, 2004

This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix F410 3.14MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

Small, compact, and amazing pictures. The battery life on this thing is amazing, I've taken 200+ shots on highest resolution and I've had this camera for over 4 months and I have NEVER seen the battery level drop. The only downfall is a little purple noise with low light shots.Overall, I would suggest this camera to anyone who wants a simple and tiny camera that will take great pictures whenever they are needed.

UPDATE:

Okay, so it's pretty much been almost THREE years since I bought this camera, I doubt it is even made anymore, however, it has lasted this long. I still pull it out and people believe it is brand new. It is super durable, and while it's not meant for a serious photographer, for everyday use, it really gets the job done.
