The Fuji FinePix A330 is equipped with a 3x, Fujinon lens equivalent to a 38-114mm lens on a 35mm camera. Aperture is automatically controlled from f/2.8 to f/9.5, with actual values depending on the zoom position of the lens. Focus also remains under automatic control, ranging from 2.0 feet (60 centimeters) to infinity in normal mode, with a Macro setting ranging from 3.9 inches to 2.6 feet (10 centimeters to 80 centimeters). The camera also offers up to 1.6x digital zoom when in 2 or 1 megapixel mode, but keep in mind that digital zoom decreases the overall image quality, since it only enlarges the center pixels of the CCD image. For framing shots, the Fuji A330 offers both a real-image optical viewfinder and a 1.5-inch color, amorphous, silicon TFT LCD monitor. The LCD monitor reports some camera settings, and can overlay an alignment grid. The grid divides the image area into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, making it easier to line up tricky subjects.

The Fujifilm FinePix E550 Zoom is one of the new generation of digital cameras that is addressing most of the complaints leveled against consumer digital cameras.

With 4x optical zoom, 6.3MP resolution and full exposure flexibility, the Fujifilm E550 provides very good image quality. And first for a Fujifilm consumer digital camera, noise is low at ISO 80 and ISO 100. Fujifilm has even provided a high ISO 800, though at a lower 3MP resolution, with noise level that is acceptable when it’s a matter of taking the picture or nothing.
