ePHOTOzine has reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR, an update to the F550, it has enhanced GPS navigation with augmented reality landmark navigator, as well as a wide angle 15x optical zoom lens, 3 inch screen, EXR CMOS sensor for high sensitivity and low noise, as well as expanded dynamic range. It also offers full HD video, and 8fps shooting at full resolution. Here’s what they had to say:
“The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR is a good incremental update to the F550 EXR and still packs everything into a compact body and does so at a significantly lower price than the competition. With a wide angle 15x optical zoom lens, a large 3inch screen and built in GPS, the compact camera would make a great travel companion, especially as it’s one of the smallest pocket zooms available with GPS.”
