Camera Overview — Fujifilm FinePix E500 Zoom

The Fujifilm FinePix E500 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.5-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2304 x 1728 pixels at 4.1 MP. Designed for straightforward everyday shooting, it features a contrast detection autofocus system with a single focus point, making it a simple and approachable option for casual photographers. The camera offers an ISO range of 80 to 400 and two color profile options — Standard and Vivid — giving users a modest degree of creative control over their images.

A built-in flash is included for low-light situations, and the optical tunnel viewfinder provides an alternative to composing shots on the 2.0-inch TFT LCD display, which resolves at 154,000 dots. The body itself features a metal faceplate paired with a plastic body construction, measuring 101 x 61 x 33 mm and weighing in at 226g — making it genuinely pocketable. Power comes from two AA batteries, compatible with both NiMH and alkaline types, with an estimated life of approximately 250 shots on NiMH cells per CIPA standard.

Video capture is available at 320 x 240 resolution at 10fps. Connectivity is handled via USB, and the fixed lens design means no interchangeable optics.
