FinePix Z1: Syle Beats Substance

FinePix Z1: Syle Beats Substance

finepix Z1

Another review from the Compact 5-megapixel review series by Business week.

The Good Stylish, performs well in low-light
The Bad LCD display is grainy, uses its own brand of memory card
The Bottom Line Slick design, but the camera looks better than the pictures it takes.

This one got a 3.5 / 5. Basically. the cameras only good if you like to make a fashion statement by having a good looking chunk of metal and plastic hung over your shoulder. According to the review the camera looks better than the pictures it takes.

If thats true then thats a huge thumbs down from the reviewer.

From the article:

All-in-all, the camera looks better than the photos it takes. If you’re a fashionista looking for a sleek, small digital camera to slip into a handbag, don’t mind ordinary quality, and don’t want a bunch of extras, the FujiFilm FinePix Z1 could make a very nice little accessory

Two user reviewers on that page seem quite happy with the camera. I wonder what their level of experience is. If it’s the only camera you have ever tried then I’m sure it’ll seem great to you.
