The Finepix Z10fd is exactly the kind of camera I need for my business. I’m a nail artist, and I need to be able to take clear, crisp, and up-close photos of hands and feet–and that’s what I get with this subcompact little cutie. The controls are very intuitive, also; I didn’t need the user’s manual to figure out the basics, and only needed to peek at it couple of times for some of the more specific functions. The 7.2 pixels give me a whole lot of image to work with later in my photo editing software. I haven’t had the opportunity to print anything yet, but when I do, I’ll edit this review accordingly.Oh, and the fact that the camera is HOT PINK does nothing at all to diminish my pleasure in its use, in case anyone was wondering

I really wanted to like the camera, but it failed woefully for my needs. The low-light performance is very poor, with significant noise present in any shots over ISO 200. Most small cameras have trouble in low-light, but after the success of the Fuji F20/F30/F40 series, I was hoping this camera would perform better. As it is, the Sony T-Series even though not great in low light, is worlds better. If you want to take indoor shots without flash, that’s very important.Almost everything else about this camera is very good:
-Nice construction
-Easy to use
-Good feature set
-Good image quality in brightly lit environments
-Nice “grid” option in viewfinder

One other issue - the “anti-shake” does not work very well, it is not true mechanical image stabilization, but rather a shutter-speed and iso boost.

So, if you shoot only in bright environments, go for it. Otherwise, look further!
