Fuji FinePix E500 Zoom

Review of the Fuji FinePix E500 Zoom

The Fuji FinePix E500 Zoom is the first camera in the new E-series range. The E-series range of cameras is designed for the more serious user than the A-series range. E-series cameras are virtually the same dimensions as the A-series, but are slightly heavier (170g for the E500 and E510, excluding batteries.) More importantly they have an ergonomic grip making them easier to handle.

What really distinguishes the E-series is the wider angle offered by the lens (equivalent to 28-90 cm on a 35mm equivalent lens for the E500.) This will enable you to get more into the shot. The E-series is also capable of accepting wide angle and tele-photo conversion lenses so these cameras have the ability to get quite powerful.

The E500 and E510 still only record movies at 10 frames per second, so you'll need to look to the E550 for something better if this is important to you.
