MD) FINEPIX 3800 XD DIGITAL CAMERAFor the money, it would be difficult to find a digital camera that could match the features and image quality of the FinePix 3800. A true 6x optical zoom sets this 3-megapixel camera apart from the crowd, allowing for shots that simply wouldn’t be possible with a typical point-and-shoot camera.

It uses a bright pop-up flash that stays far enough away from the lens to reduce red-eye, and pictures can be framed using either the crisp 1.8-inch LCD screen on the back or the large viewfinder, which is surrounded by a rubber sheath. The viewfinder also uses an LCD, so unfortunately you can’t see anything through it when the camera is turned off.

Beginners can leave the camera in fully automatic mode and snap away, while pros can use the many manual adjustments to achieve more professional results. Either way, the resulting pictures feature excellent color saturation and impressive detail, despite the camera’s relatively aggressive image compression. Hair loses some of its texture, and reds tend to look slightly more orange in the photos than in reality, but the camera’s abilities are outstanding for the price.

The only real problem with the FinePix 3800 is that it is nearly impossible to frame a picture or get the camera’s autofocus to work in a low-light situation. Images seen through the viewfinder or displayed on the LCD get very murky in candlelight conditions. However, 90 percent of the time the camera works marvelously, and its light-gathering abilities once it does manage to focus in dim light are outstanding.

You’ll definitely want to get a higher-capacity xD-Picture Card, as the included 16 MB card holds only 12 high-quality images. But other than that oversight, this camera provides everything you need to take some great digital photographs. –T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Pop-up flash
• 6x optical zoon
• Captures a terrific amount of detail

Cons:

• Needs a bigger memory card
• Low-light performance suffers

The Fuji FinePix 3800 expands your digital photography horizons with a range of advanced options, including manual mode with aperture control and exposure compensation. It features 3-megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom, and movie mode. The FinePix 3800 is also one of the first digital cameras to utilize the tiny XD memory card.

Optics and Resolution
Featuring a CCD sensor with 3.24 million effective pixels, the FinePix 3800 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels) and prints up to 11 by 14 inches. The FinePix 3800 features a fast f/2.8 Fujinon lens with a 6x optical zoom and a variable digital zoom: 3.2x (at the 640 x 480 setting) or 1.6x (at the 1,280 x 960 setting). Its lens focal length is equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm camera.

Storage and Transfer
The FinePix 3800 is one of the first digital cameras to be compatible with the new XD memory card. Comparable in size to a penny and weighing less than one-tenth of an ounce, the new XD memory card is not only the smallest storage medium, it also uses less power for better battery performance and has faster data transfer rates than other memory cards. The included 16 MB XD card will store approximately 12 images at fine mode and 26 images at normal mode.

To transfer images to your computer, simply attach the included USB cable between your PC and your camera–your computer should automatically recognize the camera and let you move the pictures to your hard drive.

Movie Mode
In movie mode, the FinePix 3800 produces digital videos (with sound) in QVGA (320 x 240) format for movies approximately 60 seconds in length at 10 frames per second. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won’t replace your camcorder, but it’s perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.

More Features

• 1.8-inch LCD monitor
• White balance: auto, plus six selectable positions in manual mode
• Flash modes: auto, red-eye reduction, forced flash, suppressed flash, and slow synchro
• Sensitivity: ISO 100 equivalent
• Shutter speed: 3 to 1/1,500 second
• Voice memo: up to 30 seconds

Power
The FinePix 3800 is powered by four AA batteries (alkalines are included). We recommend getting a set or two of rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and a charger. A digital camera will kill a set of alkaline batteries extremely quickly, especially if you’re using the camera’s LCD display, so they aren’t recommended except in a pinch.

Size
The FinePix 3800 measures at 3.9 by 3.0 by 2.7 inches and 10 ounces.

Contents
This package includes the FinePix 3800 digital camera, a 16 MB XD memory card, four AA alkaline batteries, a USB cable, a shoulder strap, an adapter ring, a lens cap, and a CD-ROM with software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

Amazon.com Review We have to tell you, wide-angle capabilities in a point-and-shoot digital camera are a revelation. Does this camera have that and more? Sure does. Dual lenses, so that it goes from a wide 23mm equivalent to a 117mm equivalent (6x zoom) without a protruding lens? Check. A large, beautiful LCD? Sure thing. An in-camera panoramic stitch that makes the most of both those features? Oh, yes.

The V570′s wide-angle lens creates interesting effects. (See larger image.)

The V570 is also incredibly compact. We carried it in a front pant pocket while traipsing around London, in a jacket pocket on the ski slopes, and in a cargo-pant pocket on mountain climbs. The V570 is very portable, and it’s so inconspicuous in its small size that we felt secure with it in a front pant pocket while strap-hanging on Mexico City public transportation.

And then there are the pictures. We love that the wide-angle setting allows us to fit so much into the picture. It also creates some interesting stretching effects in close-ups, as with the photo of cakes at left. In addition, color reproduction is stunning: blue skies are faithfully rendered, bright colors remain bright even in low-light settings or flash photos, and contrast and tonal range are almost always as perfect as we could hope.

Panoramic mode is easy to use and works beautifully. (Click images for larger views.)

The in-camera panoramic stitch mode is also extremely easy, and it produces exquisite results. The only down side to this feature is that it severely limits your other photographic options–the two or three images that make up the panoramas are taken at 3.2-megapixel resolution, and the flash won’t fire while you’re in panoramic mode. However, we found the resolution to be sufficient in the end, and reserving panoramic use for well-lit scenarios did not prove such a hardship. (Make sure to check out other customers’ photos, taken in a range of lighting situations, via the link above.)

Some of our favorite photos taken with the V570. (Click images for larger views.)

Finally, the camera’s video function performs admirably. A friend used his V570 to film a football team taking the field, and both image and sound were top notch. And the large, bright 2.5-inch LCD does its duty well as a photo and video viewer. Separate buttons allow you to zoom in on sections of a photo and navigate within one picture or all the pictures on your card. (Photos can also be viewed in a multi-up mode, which displays nine at a time, or in a slideshow that can be shown on the screen or on your television.)

This is not to say that the camera doesn’t have a few imperfections. It must be docked for charging the battery or downloading images. In photos, bright lights are occasionally surrounded by a purple fringe. The power and scene mode buttons are on the small side, and there’s no way to prevent the camera from displaying just-taken images for five seconds after the shot (though you can take another photo immediately by pressing the shutter-release button twice).

These are small gripes about an otherwise stellar camera, though. We’ve found the V570 to be the best combination of unique features, impressive styling, and overall user-friendliness of any cameras currently available, and we cannot recommend it enough.–Sarah Sternau
