Fujifilm FinePix JZ500 Review
The discontinued this model right after I bought it. Not sure what the closest replacement is.
The only downsides are the body is a little slippery - leave the stickers on. Also the 10X zoom works in video mode, however it's out of focus while zooming in and out and the mic picks up the mechanical noise. You have to spend twice as much on the Panasionic to get around this and it's picture quality is not as good (from what I've read).
I recently took photos of some young foxes outside of their mothers foxhole. My wife thinks we may be able to sell them, so I have not posted them yet. The 10X zoom comes in handy, those foxes can be shy. |
Maybe too simply, but,
Optical Zoom is done with the lens; you maintain picture quality.
Digital Zoom is done digitally and as you 'zoom' the pic quality degrades; you're only blowing up the original image. Gets 'fuzzy' as the pixels get bigger.
