The FinePix A500 Zoom is a camera that equips the starter with all they need. It spares you the technical complexity that can get in the way of a good shot, and covers the basics more than adequately. Fujifilm has over a decade of expertise in producing first-rate digital images, and it shows in this 5 million pixel camera.
For the first time, Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD sensor has been used in the entry-level camera in the range. The only way to see the benefit of this feature is to savour the photos – crisp, colourful and clear, this camera enhances the reputation of Super CCD for creating pictures that don't look digital – they look real.
Digital photography isn't everyone's specialist subject, however this camera is as accessible as they come. How often have you found that you can't work out why your pictures look wrong, only to find that you had mistakenly pressed one of the many buttons for features that you would never use? With the A500 Zoom, Fujifilm has done what most people have been hoping for: create a camera that cuts your bad shots to an absolute minimum.
Some situations demand a little bit of photographic expertise. Luckily, the A500 Zoom has got this all built-in. If you fancy taking a portrait, sports photo, landscape or night scene, the A500 Zoom gives you the option of four modes that set the camera up to achieve optimum results.
Just because it's at the beginning of our range doesn't mean that we have cut corners on the quality. Just pick up the A500 Zoom to find out how metal components have been engineered into the design to create a surprisingly rugged construction that feels reassuring to hold.
We all know that the number of pixels can only be brought to life by the processor within the camera. On top of that, the lens plays a decisive role in influencing the quality of the final image. The FinePix A500 Zoom makes full use of the pedigree of professional-standard optical design.
It's reassuring to know that as long as the camera has power, you can take a picture – the FinePix A500 Zoom contains a very useful 12MB of internal memory, which is enough to accommodate those emergency images that you didn't have space for on the card. With that said, the main storage for images on the A500 Zoom should be an additional xD card, which will allow you to accommodate almost as many images as you like.
