Description — Fujifilm FinePix E500 Zoom
The Fujifilm FinePix E500 is a fixed-lens point-and-shoot camera centered on a 4.1 MP sensor with a 1/2.5-inch sensor size, delivering a maximum image resolution of 2304 x 1728 pixels. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system using a single focus point — reliable for everyday subjects in good light. The camera's ISO sensitivity spans 80 to 400, and shooters can choose between Standard and Vivid color profiles for in-camera processing.
Composing shots is straightforward thanks to both a 2.0-inch TFT LCD at 154,000 dots and an optical tunnel viewfinder. A built-in flash covers basic low-light needs. The body measures 101 x 61 x 33 mm and weighs just 226g, built with a metal faceplate and plastic body.
Power comes from two AA batteries (NiMH or alkaline), rated for approximately 250 shots on NiMH per CIPA standards. Video recording tops out at 320 x 240 at 10fps, and the camera connects to a computer via USB.
