Fujifilm FinePix A610

Features

Like I mentioned, it’s an entry level camera, which in itself should placate your curiosity. It’s a 6.3 megapixel camera, with 3x optical zoom. That’s it! There are no manual functions, so most users would do well by either setting the camera settings on auto or try the various scene modes the camera offers (in all 14 of them, that includes Beach, Snow, Baby, Night etc)


One more thing though. The camera comes with an intelligent flash mechanism. This means that it calculates the amount of natural light and the position of the object before firing the flash accordingly. It helps while shooting during twilight hours, at night I suggest you keep the flash on at all times.

Performance
Apparently, like the A610 all the A series Fujifilm cameras come with a ‘unique Super CCD and RP (Real Photo) Processor, for delivery of sharp images with minimal noise’. Let me tell you that the camera performs the best during the day. However, the pictures we took even in broad daylight came quite dull. Maybe a result of the RP processing, which, perhaps, captures the scenery in natural light. The pictures are not sharp, and sort of texturised.
