Description:
The FinePix JZ300 has a 12-megapixel CCD, a 2.7-inch high-resolution LCD and steps up with a huge Fujinon 10x wide-angle optical zoom lens (28mm-280mm equivalent). Encased in a high-grade brushed aluminum metal body, it’s not only well protected from bumps and scrapes, but features a simple, yet elegant design. The JZ300 also has a new mode dial for additional convenience and functionality.
HD Capability
The new J-Series models all offer stunning movies in 720p with sound and high-quality stills at 1920 x 1080.
Tracking Auto Focus
Previously featured on Fujifilm’s DSLR-styled FinePix S1500, the new J-Series models feature Tracking Auto Focus which is perfect for when you need to take a picture of a moving subject and can’t keep your subject in the frame. Just switch Tracking Auto Focus on and it will track your subject and ensure that you achieve a crisp picture with you subject in the center of the frame in perfect focus.
Additional Features
- Scene Recognition Auto (SR AUTO): This mode intelligently detects the scene type you are shooting and optimizes the camera’s focus, exposure and white balance, so whether you’re photographing flowers or a holiday landscape, you will get flawless photos at the press of a button.
- Dual Image Stabilization: Long-zoom cameras need stabilization more than any other compact, with handshake and subject movement a particular problem in low light at telephoto range. The FinePix JZ300 reduces blur to a minimum by deploying Picture Stabilization to automatically increase shutter speeds to freeze action, and mechanical CCD sensor shift stabilization to counteract the problems of handshake. By cleverly combining these two, blur is reduced to an absolute minimum.
- Face Detection and Automatic Red-eye Removal: To provide perfectly exposed and focused portrait shots, each J-Series model is fitted with Fujifilm’s latest Face Detection technology which is able to track up to 10 faces simultaneously, at almost any angle to the camera. The system instantly corrects red-eye and then saves both the original and the corrected image file automatically.
Reviews:
- Fujifilm FinePix JZ300 12 MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Silver) review by Jerry R. South (Chester, IL):
This camera takes fantastic outdoor shots. I just returned from a family Easter egg hunt with my kids and several of their cousins and the shots using the 10X zoom were great. Quick recovery time between shots and only a few out of 150 shots were out of focus. Somewhat disappointing for indoor shots using the automatic setting although I did not try the scene selection options for indoor photos. The flash seemed only effective 5 to 6 feet. I also own a Panasonic Lumix camera that I am very happy with but I wanted more zoom capability.
- Fujifilm FinePix JZ300 12 MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Silver) review by Mrs. Hannah Merchant (AL):
I chose this camera as it was nice and compact but still had the 10x zoom (which is great for such a small camera) 12MPs, which gives great crisp pics and also has the HD video (which is amazing btw – and I also don’t have to convert it on my PC and can put it straight on DVD……Sweet!!!)
The picture quilty is great and although indoors is never as good as outdorrs its still great and I am so happy I upgraded to this camera.
You really won’t be disappointed with this camera as it does everything you need it to and more.
I love the pictures I take, the featuresare easy to use and I like the fact you can take black and white and sepia etc.
I hope this review has helped and you enjoy the camera as much as I do.
