amazon Fujifilm FinePix Z700EXR reviews
Ultra slim models, in order to maintain the design often have to use the lens hidden in the body, or complain that the image quality is not high. Thus, the most significant point of the Z700EXR is that Fujifilm has been improved by applying the new Super CCD EXR sensor that is used on the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR or Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR models that are highly praised for their quality.
Some basic specifications include a 12 million-pixel sensor, a 36-by-180-mm equivalent lens, a 3.5-inch 460,000-pixel LCD screen, a sensor-shake-resistant and 720p HD video recording.
Not following the design of the Z300fd, the Z700EXR slider is designed to be wavy with Sony-styled functionality, as well as a lens cover, as well as a power-off switch. However, the choice of paint coating makes the surface of the machine is very vulnerable to fingerprints.
As the touch version, the buttons are minimized to the maximum, with only the shutter button, zoom and photo viewer on the top. The entire back is a 3.5-inch touch screen with icons on the left side that allows you to select the shooting mode (such as the mode dial on the regular), the menu adjusts other parameters such as ISO or size is located at the bottom of the screen. The screen resolution is quite high at 460,000 pixels, giving crisp images when viewed again.
Fujifilm’s interface is nothing short of breakthrough, still use the touch type to capture always without pressing the shutter button. However, the company has made a minor improvement with the name of two-dimensional interface (Dual Direction GUI). When shooting along the camera, the menu system also turns to facilitate the photographer to adjust, similar to the current smartphone.
Overcome the weakness of the Sony T line, the Z700EXR’s interface is enhanced with a larger, easier-pressing icon system. The rotatable navigation controls allow for easy one-handed operation, whether in shooting or playback mode.

One of the interesting features of the Z700EXR is the identification of cats and dogs. Testing shows that this technology is relatively good. Unfortunately, it is not possible to identify both people and objects in the same scene.
Some other adjustment modes of the Z700EXR also have some inconvenience, such as in silent mode, the machine will automatically mute but also turn off the integrated flash. If you just want a light, and want to be quiet, the photographer must switch back to normal mode and mute by adjusting the volume.
In terms of speed, it can be said that the Z700EXR is acceptable only with a shutter lag of about 0.05 seconds and a continuous shutter speed of about 2.5 frames per second. However, the boot time is quite bad, lasting up to 4 seconds (while other machines usually are 2 seconds) and the time to image capture card in continuous shooting mode takes quite a long time. The speed of 2.5 fps lasts only to the first 5 images (ie only 2 seconds).
The focus mode of the Z700EXR is quite accurate, but the still-classic focus mechanism is to press the shutter button, the frame and the capture, instead of the new mechanism touching the screen to focus as some types of sensors recent response.
The image quality of the Z700EXR is average in the market. With ISO at 100, the image is quite in, less noise. ISO 200 is acceptable up to 400 with only a small amount of noise that makes the image look finer, but the color has not yet broken. However, similarly to other travel machines, the quality starts to decline considerably from ISO 800 to 1600 due to excessive interference of the noise reduction algorithm. In retrospect, color fidelity is kept relatively stable throughout the ISO range. Compared to the generation F200EXR, this version is less than the same sensor technology. Of course, one of the main reasons is that the sensor on the F200EXR is bigger.
The Z700EXR supports 720p HD video recording at 30 frames per second and quality is just average. Video capacity is also quite large, at a rate of one minute 180MB, so if you like video recording, users must have a high capacity memory card.
On the whole, the Fujifilm FinePix Z700EXR looks quite fashionable, stylish enough to meet the basic needs of the user. Although the new sensor application, but the image and video quality of this version has not reached the excellent level. In addition to the finger-grip and lack of wide angle lenses, aside from the affordable price tag and the ability to recognize dogs and cats, it’s hard to make a special impression on users in the many of the advanced travel camera nowadays.
