This model boasts a Fujinon 5x optical zoom, 8.2 megapixels, and ISO 800 light sensitivity as well as QVGA movie recording capability, which is great if you don't have your video camera to hand.
It's also incredibly easy to use, with intuitive icon-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and many features accessible via a mode dial.
The FinePix J50 is perfect for families who want a reliable, take-anywhere camera and is suitable for kids and parents alike.
Impressive 5x Optical zoom
The camera's 5x Optical zoom has been especially developed by Fujinon, the division of Fujifilm responsible for lens manufacture, which is also a leading provider of broadcast-grade television lenses.
The lens within the FinePix J50 expands your range of picture-taking options, allowing you to zoom in for dramatic close-ups, even when shooting from far away.
Carry anywhere....
Despite the larger zoom and screen the FinePix J50's compact design is remarkably svelte, at only 23mm thick.
Available in Brushed Silver, the slim, stylish FinePix J50 slips effortlessly into your purse or pocket and goes everywhere with ease.
Mode Dial and GUI system
Control is at your fingertips, as the selection of convenient functions is made easy with the FinePix J50's Mode Dial. This dial enables you to access to some of the most popular settings on the camera such as Auto, Anti-blur and movie recording via the intuitive GUI, (Graphical User Interface).
Fujifilm's recently redesigned GUI makes navigating menu options easier than ever before. The system uses an icon-based menu, with accompanying explanations that pop up on the LCD as a new setting is selected.
Layout of buttons has been designed so that the camera body remains uncluttered and can be operated easily with one hand. All-in-all, this helpful interface takes much of the guesswork out of digital camera operation, and with less to worry about, you'll have more fun with your picture taking!
High resolution 2.7-inch LCD screen
The FinePix J50 features a large high-resolution 2.7-inch, 235,000 pixel LCD screen, which has a reinforced glass coating for scratch-free durability. In addition, the LCD screen is coated with anti-glare materials to increase visibility when framing or reviewing images in bright sunlight, which means that sharing your images with others is easier than ever before.
Convenient xD and SD compatibility
The FinePix J50 features an xD/SD compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD Picture Card, SD or SDHC media to store and transfer your photos.
This will give you the flexibility to buy the card you want, use cards from previous cameras, or choose the media that fits with your other desktop devices like laptops, PDAs or card readers.
Internal memory
The FinePix J50 makes it possible for you to get that picture even if your memory card is full. The 12MB internal memory built into this compact ensures that you will never have to miss that special shot.
Think of it as your internal insurance policy for photo opportunities. With that said, the main storage for images on the FinePix J50 should be an additional xD card, which will allow you to accommodate almost as many images as you like.
