I bought my V10 instead of Z100 as I preferred the lens configuration. As a simple point and shoot camera I have had no issues with it - although I have noticed that my friend's Sony takes better low light photos (such as of the moon rising) both less blurry and better colour. The clearness after several years is still better then some other brands which seem to lose their auto-focus. I bought a back-up battery (not Fuji brand) and external charger a couple of years ago before going overseas thinking that two fully charged batteries would be enough for two weeks away. However it was about this time my camera started using battery power very quickly. These days if there is low level light or a flash required I can only take one or two shots before the camera runs out of power and shuts down. If I wait for couple of minutes and turn the camera back on the battery level will show full again, until I take more photos in which case it shows empty again and shuts down. Wait a minute and the battery will show full again. Is it a camera fault or a battery fault? It makes me dubious of buying another camera with Li-Ion battery in case I get caught short again without the charger. Reading above it sounds like others have had problems with charging the battery, so not sure if I should take my chances and get another battery on the basis that both of mine are older than 2 years, or a new camera on the basis that the fault is with the V10... What I have found as a general rule for any point and shoot camera (digital or film) is that it helps to hold the camera in place for about a second after you press the button. Many people whip the camera down or away immediately on pressing the button, during which time the camera may still be processing the shot. I found my photos were a lot clearer once I held the camera for longer.

I was surprised to see a number of reviews on this site disappointed with this camera, so I had to register to give my feedback.

In such a small package this an awesome camera. We've had a few other Point n Shoot digital cameras and this is by the far the best so far. The colors are rich and vibrant and in good daylight the pictures are remarkably sharp. With good daylight coming though windows it also produces great natural light shots inside if you turn off the flash. With the flash the pictures are ok, but the flash tends to wash out subjects with a few feet.

Pros: great looking pictures from a pocket sized camera
Cons: slow reaction when you push the shutter button, lack of creative options that you'd get on more feature rich cameras (no long shutter exposures times, aperture or shutter speed control etc - but then this is a point n shoot)

I really hate this camera. My previous camera (this camera was purhcased to replace) had less megapixles but took a THOUSAND more times better pictures. This gives you very fuzzy, blurry, and pixelated results. Stupid me for not printing out my pictures until a year after purchasing and realizing that the quality of the photos was horrible.

I bought my camera because my Olympus died over the holiday weekend. I needed to get another camera, because the very next weekend my children were going to the shore for their very first time.

After getting a 512 XD Card and charging my battery ALL night, we finally get to the ocean where I am able to take about 100 pictures before my battery dies.

When I get home to review those pictures, 1/2 of them turn out where they weren't blackened or fuzzy. I was furious and took my camera back to the store for return, they wouldn't and simply told me that I had it on the wrong setting. Fine, they "fixed" it.

For several months, heck why not say an entire year I've been putting up with these fuzzy photos, blackened photos—just trashy photos in general.

I went to my husbands graduation from Basic Training and not a SINGLE picture turned out from his graduation. I have nothing to show from him and his time in Basic Training. When I went back several weeks for his AIT Graduation, the same thing happened. I was and still am greatly annoyed at the quality of the photos.

Then when I wanted to get a second battery, because I do take 10x's more photos hoping to get at least 1/3 of good photos, I couldn't find my battery. I took the camera and the booklet all over to stores that sold camera supplies and no one had the battery in stock or knew if they had it. Finally one day, Best Buy had my battery. $50 dollars later, I had my second battery. It doesn't end there. I fully recharged it, took my kids to the beach the second time. Took 300 photos on my first battery, tried putting in my second battery and it was a shade too small and the camera wouldn't accept the battery. I had spent that much money on a battery that I was told to buy by their (Fuji) booklet and representative. So now I have a battery that doesn't work with my camera and Best Buy can't return it because I had opened it.

This camera has been a pain in my you know what and I can't wait until the day I have enough money saved up to get the camera that I REALLY want.

Ok having read a shed load of reviews on various different digital cameras (I needed to upgrade my one btw to take pics this xmas). I found that the highest scoring average was the Fuji v10. With its stylish body I got the funky orange one. Its all metal casing and ergonomical design.

As a creative person by profession I was abit dissappointed with the quality of the pictures it took. Even at the highest setting and using a tripod the images still didn't come out sharp enough. Its as if theres a default dithering to cancel out the noise which many digital camera's produce. But then again this is sub £150 camera which is very compact.

I should of spent an extra £80 or so and got the Nikon 7100. My advice is don't be fooled with the slick design it doesn't mean it produces great pictures. But cor dont it look sexy in its brushed metal casing :-D

This camera has a fantastic screen that impresses all who see it. Its ability to take pictures in dark places is phenominal. I am always able to get a clear picture in almost pitch black places. There are many features that are easy to use and not confusing. Overall, this camera is a nine. It's not a 10 because I have not printed any photos yet so I can't accurately determine it's printing capibilities.

I was very excited when I first heard of its slick design and fully 3" display... and of course the arcades that can satisfy your boredom for some time... but in the long run I found out that its picture quality wasn't that impressive at all... however I recommend it if your not that serious and just want to have fun with your camera though....

being new to all this digital camera stuff it took me some time before parting with my hard earned cash. so many camera`s on the market , i was just about to buy when the sales man brought out the v10 and started raving on about it so after a good look and plenty of questions later i was the proud owner of a new fuji v10.
it had many of the features of other cameras but what impressed me the most was the ability to take great pictures in low light and make them look natural without having the nasty flash.

i am very happy with this beautiful camera great sharp pictures i recommended this camera.
