I love to take my camera with me when we go out. Of course the problem with that is that my camera takes up half my bag and it’s not always the most conveinant thing to carry around. It does take fabulous pictures though.

1So, with all our day trips and place the kids like to go, and for those times when you unexpectedly need a camera to snap a picture it’s helpful to have a smaller camera that still takes a decent picture. It might not the 8 megapixel, multifeatured wonder that my regular camera is, but the Fuji FinePix V10 still has some great qualities about it and the pictures aren’t half bad.

This tiny wonder of a camera comes in black or orange casing styles and has 5.1MP image resolution and sensitivity up to ISO 1600. And oddly enough along with all the little picture taking details this camera has games on it? I thought that was odd, but still interesting. I’m not sure how often I would use the game feature, but it never hurts to have a video game around when you’re stuck in traffic or waiting in line.

Fuji’s Real Photo Technology helps remove the blurry factor or the the grainy look from the pictures you take and gives you the sharpest, most focused picture it can give you. Of course the quality of picture is going to also depend on the lighting, and photo subject too.

As my friend Richard points out, reviews on this camera were pretty mixed by camera lovers.

Reviews on this camera were a mixed bag, some reviewers complimented the V10’s performance, and some disliked it very much. It is available now for about $189.95 - $344.11.
