FujiFilm’s new FinePix F10 is a 6.3-megapixel camera that includes the new “Real Photo Technology,” an attempt by FujiFilm to mitigate some of the pixel noise one gets when using a higher ISO setting. The upshot of that is that pictures can be taken in lower natural light conditions without a flash, which almost always makes for a more attractive picture of your girlfriend (she might even let you put it on the internet). The back of the F10 has a fairly large 2.5-inch LCD screen—handy, since FujiFilm has decided to ditch the optical viewfinder in these new high-end models (I wear glasses and won’t miss it, but I’m sure there are still a few holdouts). New low-power consumption will allow around a couple hundred shots even with the LCD on.
Expect the F10 in April for around $500.
