Fujifilm FinePix Z70 Review
 
Editor's Review
Fujifilm FinePix Z70 by Andrew Hall 09/29/2010 OVERVIEW: The Fujifilm FinePix Z70 is a low-cost point and shoot digicam, in many ways comparable with other point and shoot digicams' feature sets. It offers relatively low image quality and a handful of features intended for consumer use to automate image uploading processes.
