FujiFilm FinePix SL300 review

Design and looks
The design of a device is the major concern for a buyer as it also stands for equal importance like its features. So, talking about this camera looks and design, the SL300 has been designed so as to provide extra comfort to the users, which can capture images and videos with single hand also, without any stretch to fingers and thumb.
The camera has got the rubber material all around. When seen from the front side with its lens opened, the textured rubber grip can easily be seen and a ring of rubber around the lens gives the feel of a DLSR camera, which in reality is the fixed one. However, the front part has the plastic material also. The rear of the camera is made up of the rubber material for good grip and same is with the top and the side parts.
With the detailed looks review, I shall now start from the top of the camera which has various keys and modes, with which one can capture better pictures accordingly. The mode dial is present on the top of the camera that can be rotated accordingly in order to capture in various modes. The modes of the camera are A= Auto, SP= Scene Presets, P= Panorama, C= Custom, M= Movie Recording mode and others. There is an additional F-Mode button to the right of the mode dial. These modes can be operated from the thumb.
Below the ON/Off button, the 14 MP size of the camera has been designated in white color. The index finger plays its role while using the hotkeys having the drive mode and the cropping.
In the rear side, there is a 3 Inches LCD monitor display which shares about 60% of the area. There are various buttons present on the right of the LCD. The d-pad is the round ring of buttons, which has the keys of delete, flash, self timer and macro. Above the LCD, there is an eyecap and toggle button between EVF and LCD. The other buttons on the rear panel include the brightness control button, info display and playback.
Camera Ability
The camera has 14 MP size. The lens of the camera has the focal length of 24 mm at the widest end which extends up to 720 mm at the telephoto end. The camera features 30x optical zoom functionality. For the zooming feature, the additional zoom lever has been equipped on the left of the camera.
Performance
The performance of a camera is judged by the pictures captured on the vvbasis of a parameter namely ISO. The camera can capture pictures up to ISO 6400. When we started capturing pictures at ISO 64, the pictures were quite vibrant and were visible and the same continued till ISO 400.
With the experiments from ISO 800, ISO 1600 and ISO 3200, the pictures started introducing some noise with red colored dots. The lower resolution images were captured at ISO 3200 and ISO 6400.
Overall the device performs quite well in performance area with its good quality pictures and videos as well. The 1280×720 pixels resolution videos can also be captured through SL300.
