Fujifilm FinePix Z800EXR: Conclusions

CONCLUSIONS
The Fujifilm Z800EXR is an excellent camera in many respects. It has a very attractive appearance, it contains some interesting features including a fine touch-screen LCD, it is a very quick performer and its lens produces relatively little distortion. I was a bit disappointed by its image quality, especially its tendency towards overexposure, although this is a problem with most small cameras.

That’s not to say that the Z800EXR doesn’t produce good-looking images, only that its image quality is not at the level I expected considering all I had read about Fuji’s EXR technology. For those who want a sleek, elegant, quick camera with good image quality at a reasonable price, the Z800EXR makes a lot of sense.

Pros:

• Elegant design
• Quick performer
• Accurate white balance
• Lens shows little distortion

Cons:

• Overexposure a problem
• No focus assist lamp
• Standard colors a bit dull
