idea for long day shoots)

performs well up to ISO of 400 and after that

it suffers noise and disturbance

shutter speed is less (actually worse in

continuous shooting mode; fps drops to 0.83)

zoom quality is good (but quality degrades as

zoom increases)

Face detection system works below average

Fujifilm has failed to add image stabilization

Battery life is pretty good

It suffers chromatic aberrations and forms

purple fringes (similar to Z10fd).

Compact and slim design

Various colour options

Price

White balance

Technologies such as face detection

Good performance at higher ISO

Solid feel

Slow shutter speeds

Image noise around ISO 400

Lens capacity

AF and flash

Manual control is not promising

Purely targeting the young generation

Misses many image quality features

Compact digital camera with better megapixel

and easy movie mode

Fujifilm has to consider the customer problems

while releasing a new version
