Fuji FinePix 40i digital camera

Slick looking Fuji 40i reviewed

This camera is an excellent size to carry around at all times and delivers good quality images. It's too expensive when compared with other similar fixed lens models, unless you want an MP3 player and a movie option. If these extra features are...

FinePix 40i

Unfortunately, as a two-in-one device, the 40i may be more trouble than it's worth - the MP3 player seems like an afterthought. To listen, we first attached a remote with playback settings to the camera, then attached headphones to the remote, and...

FujiFilm FinePix 40i Review

Look Mom it's got headphones! That's right, the first of a new generation of "cross over products". It's easy to see why FujiFilm saw an opportunity for a product like this, take a typical digital camera, it's got batteries, a storage system...

Here's my rating of the Fujifilm Finepix 40i: (2 megapixel, fixed lens, multifunction class)

Fujifilm FinePix 40i

Versatile beast which takes some of the best two megapixel photos ever and doubles up as an MP3 player.

Fuji FinePix 40i

The FinePix 40i really is in a class by itself -- there's nothing else like it on the market. I'm not sure if more cameras like this will pop up though. Most people I showed it to thought it was kind of a strange combination of products. But if you...

Sexy body and fast processing, just like the FinePix 4700 ; Good picture quality - lots of pixels too ; MP3 player is cool ; Extra bonus: remote control as remote shutter release ; Movie mode with sound

No optical zoom; digital zoom only works at lower resolutions ; Included memory card far too small for real world use as MP3 player ; Inability to play MP3 files with bit rates higher than 128kbps ; No real manual controls

The Fuji Finepix 40i is an interesting concept camera for sure. I suppose sales will decide if another camera like this comes out. As a camera, it does a pretty good job, though I'd love to see an optical zoom on it. As an MP3 player, it's fine, but...
