Featherweight it may be in terms of physical dimensions and weight but it’s also featherweight in specification. The Fujifilm FinePix F470 has standard 6-megapixel sensor (as opposed to a Fuji SuperCCD) at the top of its spec’ billing, 10-scene modes include the usual bits and bobs, such as portrait, landscape and sports and a flower close-up mode among others.
In terms of handling and speed the F470 is fast but with noticeably more focus lag at the full zoom end than at the wide end, however, it is not so bad as to cause major issues. The shutter lag is negligible making it a surprisingly quick to get snapping once the focus has finished, so overall, at this level, the camera is very responsive for most “normal” shooting situations.

the Fujifilm FinePix F470 is extremely light at just five ounces with the battery and memory card. Though the camera’s polycarbonate body has a plastic feel in spots, the generous metal accents give it solid durability.
This really is a “take anywhere” camera, and under normal daylight conditions the F470 can capture some great pictures, with the rich color you’d expect from Fujifilm.

When it comes to image quality, Fujifilm Finepix F470 delivers the goods.
Color is bright, vivid, and hue accurate. Skin tones are a little ruddy. Like most consumer digital cameras red and blue are slightly punched up, but not garishly so. White balance is very accurate outdoors, but I did notice a very slight warmish cast in some interior shots.
Images shot at ISO 64 and 100 had extremely low noise levels with balanced contrast and very good shadow and highlight detail. Noise levels start to pick up noticeably at ISO 200, but not objectionably so. ISO 400 images show noticeable noise and some lost detail, but they should be fine for e-mail or 3×5/4×6 prints.
