Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR

The FinePix F600EXR is another in what is becoming a very long line of Fujifilm compact megazooms featuring the company's unique EXR CMOS sensor design and EXR image processor. The F600EXR was the third it released for 2011, and in January 2012,...

The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR has a lot of shooting options for both photos and movies and it has a comfortable, nice-looking design.

The F600EXR isn't the easiest camera to use, the GPS quickly drains battery life, and it's not always the fastest camera.

The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR is loaded with features, but getting the best results takes some menu digging and patience.

Fujifilm FinePix F600EXRDigital Camera Review

The FinePix F600EXR is Fujifilm's latest small-body, long-zoom camera. It's a replacement for the six-month-old F550EXR, which was a solid performer with a loyal enthusiast following. Fuji has never been shy about flooding the market with tons of...

The Fujifilm F600EXR is a well-executed travel zoom, one that casual photographer could bring on vacation and learn to love, though it’s really designed with hands-on, enthusiast shooters in mind.

Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR

The EXR sensor is the selling point on the F600; the user can choose one of three modes that favor high dynamic range, low noise, or high resolution. The low noise and high dynamic range modes reduce the resolution, yet truly improve image quality. You...

Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR

Should hold plenty of appeal for the enthusiast, if not the casual vacation photographer

Very accurate colors; A huge 30x zoom in a compact body; Oodles of controls, both manual and auto

Significant image noise

The Fujifilm F600EXR is a well-executed travel zoom, one that casual photographer could bring on vacation and learn to love, though it’s really designed with hands-on, enthusiast shooters in mind.

Consumer review by: Bob Nutner (newegg.com)

If something is half its price - it for a good reason!

Fuji sometimes make good camera. This is my 3rd fuji and so far the worst.

It was cheap! (on sale for half price!)

Takes bad pictures. Flash is weak at best. Needs daylight to take a somewhat decent picture. Battery life is incredibly short, I use rechargeable that I can get 70-100 on my Fuji X30, this thing takes 15-20 pictures and done
