FujiFilm FinePix J150W Highlights

The wide-angle (28mm) perspective
The sharp, high-quality Fujinon lens gives you a 28mm wide-angle perspective to frame portraits with expansive backdrops, groups of people, or landscape scenes with depth and an impressive sense of scale.

5x optical zoom in action

5x optical zoom
Incorporating a 5x optical zoom, the same Fujinon lens also lets you move in close at the touch of a button, giving you the freedom to capture dramatic close-ups.

10-megapixel resolution
Thanks to an impressive 10.0 megapixels of resolution, pictures are crisp, clear, and vivid, perfect for cropping or enlarging images as you like.

Face Detection & auto red-eye removal
Face Detection identifies faces and optimizes focus and exposure, making people pictures a snap. Selectable red-eye removal detects and compensates for red-eye in detected faces, for flattering flash portraits and party pictures.

Face Detection helps deliver dynamic portraits

High Sensitivity ISO 1600
With ISO 1600 sensitivity, even subjects on the move come out blur-free. High sensitivity also lets you shoot without the flash in an expanded range of situations, giving you natural-looking pictures that preserve the mood and the memories of the actual scene.

Picture Stabilization/Anti-blur Mode
Picture Stabilization/Anti-blur Mode automatically corrects for camera shake and subject blur, making it easy to take crisp stop-action photos with great background detail.

Versatile shooting modes
Pre-programmed shooting modes let you forget about the camera settings and focus on composing the best shot, ensuring optimum results in a variety of conditions.

3.0-inch LCD display
The large, bright 3.0-inch LCD adds impact to photo viewing. In addition to two- or nine-frame display, Multi-Frame Playback also lets you choose Micro Thumbnail View, displaying 100 shots simultaneously for effortless selection and viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great, November 29, 2008

This is a good small point and shoot camera for the price. It is easy to use, has a very clear menu, and a very large LCD display. If you are looking for a 5X zoom with simple menus and an extra big display, this is a great deal. The downside with this camera is that the picture quality is not as good as more expensive cameras, and it does not do well in low light situations. The flash has an effective range of 9.8 feet. Beyond that range the picture will have poor focus or lots of digital noise. It says it can do 1600 and 3200 ISO, but the quality goes down in those situations. The manual says that even in 10 MB Fine mode (highest resolution) they don't recommend enlarging beyond 8 x 12 prints (which was the limitation of my last 3MP Olympus camera). It is nice and compact and easy to use. You will be happy with it as a snapshot camera, but you will want to spend more if you are a serious photographer. I have rated this a 5 because I think you get what you pay for. Even with its limitations, it is a great camera for the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small camera - big punch, December 6, 2008

This is a great point and shoot camera. Small enough to fit comfortably in a shirt pocket and capable enough to capture the fleeting moments of life and preserve them forever more. Wide angle makes pictures of groups much easier to take. Picture quality is great and with ten mega pixels a picture can be cropped to capture only the desired elements and still look good. Battery life is very long, but when it is about done it depletes quickly. Best option would be to have an extra charged battery with you.

One improvement that could be made is to the internal flash. It works for pictures of ten feet or under, but the light falls off quickly after ten feet. But this is a point and shoot camera and if you need to take flash pictures at greater distance, get a studio digital camera with a separate flash attachment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent Pictures, December 27, 2008

I didn't like this camera and sent it back. The pictures were very inconsistent - I took two pictures of the exact same thing at the exact same time and they each turned out different - with different lighting and coloring. Also, sometimes the flash was so bright it whited out the subject's face and you could hardly see them.
