Fujifilm Finepix E500
Review Date: February 10th 2005
Introduction
The Fujifilm Finepix E500 is Fuji's entry into the crowded entry-level digital camera market.
This is a 4 megapixel model that offers a couple of interesting features to help differentiate itself from the competition. The Finepix E500 has a 28-91mm zoom lens, which is a lot wider than most of its rivals. The E500 also offers full photographic control in the form of aperture-priority, shutter-priority and manual modes. The Fujifilm Finepix E500 allows you to take full creative control if you desire it, or you can use the various auto and scene modes instead and let it make the decisions.
On the rear of the camera is a large 2 inch LCD screen, and there is a pop-up flash with a range of creative flash modes available. The
Fujifilm Finepix E500 is also larger than many digicams, which Fujifilm claims makes it more of a photographer's camera.
So does the Finepix E500 appeal to the photographer in me? Read my review to find out.
