Never miss a shot again. With virtually no shutter lag—a luxury previously found only on high-end SLRs—and an almost instantaneous startup, the 6.3-megapixel F10 is ready before you can say “cheese.” This lightning-fast responsiveness, combined with the F10’s small size (slightly larger than a deck of cards, it’s perfect for stowing), made capturing candid Buenos Aires street moments a snap. And the battery life—about 500 shots per charge—is among the best we tested of the point-and-shoots, so you never have to worry about missing a—ahem—Fuji moment. www.fujifilm.com
Bonus: A long-exposure mode (up to 15 seconds) and wide ISO range increase versatility in low light.
Bummer: The 2.5-inch LCD lacks the clarity of the leading models.
