    Weather Sealing

    FujiFilm JV100 doesn't have any environmental sealings on its body so you got to be extra careful to protect it against water and dust. If you shoot under these conditions very often, consider checking Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing page.

    FujiFilm JV100 Lens

    FujiFilm JV100 features a 37-111 mm F3.2-4.3 3× zoom lens. With a focal length of only 37mm on the wide end, the camera doesn't have wide angle capability at all. However, 111mm on the tele end means that the medium telephoto angle is well covered, only lacking the reach for wildlife and sports.

    FujiFilm JV100 Sensor and Photography Features

    FujiFilm JV100 has a 12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . You can shoot at maximum resolution of 4000 x 3000 pixels with aspect ratios of 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. JV100 has a native ISO range of 100 - 1600 which can be boosted to 3200 but unfortunately, FujiFilm JV100 doesn't have RAW file support. If you need a Compact camera with a RAW support, consider or in the same price range.

    Let's look at how the size of the FujiFilm JV100's 1/2.3-inch sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Compact camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 (Lumix DMC-TZ100) (Compare) or Nikon Coolpix P7800 (Compare).
