Fujifilm FinePix F series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from FinePix F401)

The Fujifilm FinePix F series is a line of compact digital cameras that was known for its low-light performance in 2005,[1] with relatively low image noise and natural colors even at high ISO settings. With its relatively large, but moderate resolution Super CCD sensors, it concentrated on image quality, and low-light shooting without flash, which was mostly restricted to prosumer models at the time.

Other models

[edit]
Fujifilm FinePix F410 camera

Prior to the current generation, Fujifilm released a number of cameras with the "F" designation. These included the compact, uniquely shaped F401, F402, F410, F420, F440, and F450, the larger F700 and F810, and the F601 Zoom and F610. Some of these cameras had earlier versions of the Super CCD sensor. Most of these earlier cameras did not have autofocus assist beams, and none of them had long-lasting battery life.

As of July 2006, the current F series lineup also includes two other mid-level compact cameras (the F470 and the F650), but lack most of the features of the F series.

As of August 2007, Fujifilm has released a Z series of cameras, including the FinePix Z5fd.
