Fujifilm has created a camera designed for the rest of the world who only want point-and-shoot ease. The Fuji FinePix A700 is a lovely digital camera with a rugged compact body that takes wonderfully realistic pictures. It is also designed with a very simple control layout so that even a beginner can use it with precision. So even though many of these features sounds difficult to work, FujiFilm promises that any user can do anything with the camera’s user-friendly design. The camera is also very robust, to withstand the wear-and-tear of family usage.

The LCD viewscreen is 2.4 inches with 7.3 Megapixels, which gives you clear visibility for whatever pictures you want to take. It features Super CCD technology that is designed to produce sharper, more detailed pictures. CCD technology also gives low noise performance with its ISO 100-400 sensitivity range. The Fuji Finepix A700 also has a 3x optical zoom, designed for the FinePix series, during the times when you want a good close up.

Adapting to lighting is also not a problem. There are also 4 scene position modes (Portrait, Landscape, Sport, and Night), so that you can select various types of images for whatever the lighting. This is important because every photo requires a different set up, and the Finepix is already to go!

Not only is it a camera, but it also shoots video at 10 movie frames per second with sound. The Fuji Finepix A700 features NTSC/PAL connectivity so that video (as well as stills) can be viewed on a television screen. The camera also contains 12MB of internal memory, and is compatible with memory cards. The FinePix is also PictBridge compatible, so that printing of digital photos can be done without the use of a Personal Computer.
