Having reviewed Fujifilm's latest EXR-sensor compact the FinePix Z700 earlier this week, I thought I'd take a look at it's little brother the FinePix Z70 today. While the Z700 is stuffed with the latest technology, including its advanced sensor, image stabilisation and a big high-resolution...

Good results in optimal lighting

Slow start-up; Slow autofocus; no AF assist lamp; Poor dynamic range

Fujifilm is targeting its Finepix Z70 at the youth market, with a frantic interactive website, a range of bright colours and Facebook and YouTube connectivity. Sadly, though, the camera's styling is more Saga than Street, with its brushed metallic finish and chrome trim.

Mostly good enough

Small; looks good; handbag-friendly

Auto white balance seems a bit unreliable indoors

I bought this camera for my wife after her old Canon broke. Her criteria were pretty simple - good zoom, looks good, small enough to fit in a handbag, does video as well... --The Camera-- Well, it looks good. I got her a pink one. It turns on/off by sliding down a front cover which exposes the lens.

i recieved this for christmas, so i have had it for about 6 months. recently, i dropped it about 2 feet high on wood. it broke. the internal lens is horrible. i am definetly not going to get a camera with an internal lens. i had very high expecatations of it, they were wrong.

I bought this as a birthday present for mom, but after we took a few pictures I realized I'd made a mistake by not getting her a comparable Canon point-and-shoot digital. I promptly took her to the store and got her one instead.

It hasn't broken yet

Every picture this camera takes is terrible; Faces and skin tones look washed out and/or otherwise disgusting no matter what kind of lighting is used; And then I tried indoor shooting with flash; LOL everybody is TWICE as washed out!!

I absolutely love this camera. Bought it at the weekend and haven't looked back. Shutter speed is super quick, the different shooting modes work really well, and it's light and slim.

The Fujifilm FinePix Z70 is a style-focused ultra-compact digital camera with a 12 megapixel CCD sensor, a 2.7 inch LCD screen and a 5x optical zoom lens (36-180mm focal length) with a sliding cover.
