Fujifilm FinePix Z3

Review summary: There's no optical viewfinder - you need to rely on LCD for composing and viewing

Pros: Attractive looks, Strong battery life

Cons: Small size makes it awkward to use at times

Verdict: Other shooting options worthy of note are those that cater for capturing fast-moving scenes, and these enable you to keep the shutter open for multiple capture of frames (provided you've room on your memory card)

Verdict: Not yet reviewed by editors.

Pros: Colour LCD built in, 20p per print, Good print quality

Cons: Prints take longer than claimed

Verdict: Party animal of a camera aiming for all types of occasions

Pros: ISO1600, “natural” shooting modes, fast start up

Cons: No optical viewfinder ; no true manual mode

Verdict: The Fujifilm Z3 is a stylish, ultra-compact camera with excellent build quality, good low-light performance and well-selected features, targeted at producing quality photos without gimmicks

Review summary: Lifestyle camera that's good in low light...

Pros: Good looks, high ISO

Cons: Price, low-light AF is disappointing

Verdict: There are many lifestyle cameras around, but the Z3 seems particularly attractive to women, judging by my straw poll in Southend.
