Menu system could be a little better ; High ISO performance not great ; Video mode could be better

Fujifilm's FinePix F770EXR is a versatile little camera with a nice design and an ability to capture wonderfully-detailed and richly-coloured images. Its 25-500mm zoom lens, along with a small body size, make it a suitable camera to carry at all times.

Noisy photos at high ISOs.

Performance and Conclusions The F770EXR starts and shoots in about 2.2 seconds, captures a 6-shot burst of photos at about 3 frames per second, and records a 0.3-second shutter lag. This level of performance is good for a compact superzoom, but not the...

The Fuji FinePix F770 EXR is a powerful and versatile compact digicam with class-leading features. It has great image quality, creative shooting modes, but lacks a little in performance and carries a high price tag. Read more in our

Offers lots for the money, 20x optical zoom, brighter lens at telephoto end than similar competitors, offers raw shooting
