Fujifilm FinePix F480 digital camera Review and Prices

For a digital camera in its price range, the FinePix F480 from Fujifilm offers a surprising number of interesting features. It's far from a perfect camera, but for the price, it is easy to use and yields good photos in most situations.

Great value, thin camera body, easy to use, limited wide-angle capabilities, outdoor photo quality is good, sharp LCD

Indoor photo quality is sometimes below average, response times are below average, extremely large prints could have stray noise

Fuji Finepix F480

If you are looking for a pocket sized digital camera they do not come much cheaper than the Fuji Finepix F480. It would also be hard to find a camera that is easier to use. This is an 8 megapixel camera with a 4x wide angle lens. It is available in...

Easy to use

Picture quality - shutter delay

"Cheap and cheerful is one way of looking at this camera. Not so hot is another I guess! This is a very simple camera, but I struggled with picture quality throughout my tests."

The Fujifim F480 is an interesting though not impressive 8.2 megapixel wide angle digital camera. It is certainly a capable little camera but requires some patience to achieve the best results. This can happen when you have control through the limited...

Nice camera

For the price its a nice camera that is inexpensive, you will need to get a memory chip though, but that's prettty cheap too.

Nice display, easy to use, lightweight, holds it's charge for a long time. Fits nicely in shirt pocket

shutter cover doesnt always come together

Okay, but was expecting more

I also have a DSLR and a 2 year old nikon point-n-shoot that I use regularly that is starting to have focusing problems in low light (dropped it a few times though, my bad). My 2 year old point and shoot camera takes sharper pictures than this fuji...

This camera has a wide angle lens (= to a 35mm film lens) which is excellent for being able to capture more of the scene you are trying to photograph. This is the main reason I bought this camera

Unfortunately, Fuji has joined the megapixel race and the super clear 6MP sensor they used in the F30 and F40 is now gone. This 8MP sensor in this camera does not compare to the old 6MP one. Every indoor shot I have taken has a lack of detail and some...
