Steves Digicams 's conclusion / rating - 02 December 2007 |
“ FujiFilm's F480 is the third "F" series Finepix model we have seen this year (2007). This is an entry-level digicam, with simple features. It offers an 8-megapixel image sensor, Fujinon 4x "wide" optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD screen, and QVGA (320x240) movie mode, all packed in a very compact and durable shell. Unlike most of Fuji's new cameras, the F480 does not include features like Intelligent Face Detection technology, an AF-assit lamp or their IR communication tool. However, don't let that turn you away. The F480 is very easy to use, with a total of 19 exposure modes, including Picture Stabilization mode. This allows the camera to be used by anyone in your household or office.
At about the size of a deck of playing cards, the F480 can be tucked away in a small pocket or handbag. The body offers a nice well built feel, and thanks to the metal exterior, is sure to stand up to day to day life. The controls on the back are minimal, but positioned in a comfortable manor. The F480 features a 2.7-inch LCD with plenty of resolution at 230K pixels. This display worked very well both indoors and out. When you are in marginal lighting, the display does gain up, which is helpful for framing in these conditions. One feature this LCD would benefit from is a non-reflective coating.
Our performance test showed the F480 is below average for a compact camera. Power up to first image captured measured 3 seconds. Shutter lag averaged 1/10 of a second when pre-focused and 3/10 of a second including autofocus. When it comes to rapid shooting, the camera was disappointing. Shooting in single drive mode, the shot to shot delay averaged about 3.8 seconds between frames. One factor that contributes to this below average speed is the Image preview option. You can not disable it, and the lowest (default) setting is 1.5 seconds. If you were to subtract that from our numbers, you can see the F480 has the ability to be a speedy model, but because you can't turn off image review, and it doesn't cancel when you hit the shutter release, shooting times are much more sluggish... ”
