Wednesday July 6, 2011

Once you've taken some photographs on your camera, you may want to have prints made. Or, perhaps, you may decide to store them on your computer, allowing you to view them whenever you want.

Six Body Colors Available With Fujifilm JV200

Monday July 4, 2011

The photographic features you'll find in Fujifilm's FinePix JV200 camera aren't going to "wow" you, but, considering you probably can find the JV200 for less than $100, it's a beginner-level camera worth considering.

The JV200, known as the JV205 in some parts of the world, carries 14MP of resolution, a 2.7-inch LCD screen, and 720p HD video recording. The JV200's 3X optical zoom lens is a bit disappointing, though.

You'll find the JV200 in six different body colors - pink, blue, red, champagne gold, silver, and black - which is a nice feature for a beginner-level camera. The JV200 carries an MSRP of $109.95 (Compare Prices), but you'll surely find it for less than $100 this summer.
