Fujifilm FinePix JX500: low price and vivid colors

Fujifilm FinePix JX500is one of the new compact cameras recently introduced by Fujifilm. Unlike other cameras we have already discussed, the Fujifilm FinePix JX500 stands out for being in a low price range, making it one of the compacts suitable for those with a limited budget and a strong desire to take photos, even if they are beginners.
The design is basic, simple, and streamlined but enhanced by the vibrant chosen colors: Black, Silver, Purple, and Red.
Let’s look at the technical features: the optical zoom is a Fujinon 5x 26-130mm, so we can say it is a 35mm format equivalent.
As for the sensor, the Fujifilm FinePix JX500 features 14 megapixels.
As is now standard for cameras of all kinds, it is possible to record videos: in this case, it is HD 720p at 30fps. You simply need to press the dedicated button located on the back of the camera to start the recording function very quickly.
An interesting feature is the ability to take panoramic photos thanks to Fujifilm’s “Motion Panorama” technology: the internal software will guide you through the steps to take three consecutive images; just aim and the camera itself will determine when the frames are perfectly aligned, only then and at that moment releasing the shutter.
Everything can be monitored on the display, a very good 2.7-inch LCD with 270,000 dots.
Regarding the price of Fujifilm FinePix JX500, it is around 100 euros or slightly less.
