Source-derived summary

The Fujifilm FinePix F series is a line of compact digital cameras that was known for its low-light performance in 2005, with relatively low image noise and natural colors even at high ISO settings. With its relatively large, but moderate resolution Super CCD sensors, it concentrated on image quality, and low-light shooting without flash, which was mostly restricted to prosumer models at the time.

Flagship line

F10

The F10 was announced in February 2005 and released April 30, 2005. The first breakthrough model of the F series, the 6.3-megapixel FinePix F10, was announced in February 2005 and became available on April 30 of that year.

F11

The F11 received minor improvements and the addition of aperture and shutter priority modes.

F30

In May 2006, the F30 released with 3200 ISO. The F30 also added a higher-resolution LCD screen and new modes. It also improved battery life and the menu system.

F20

In July 2006, Fujifilm announced the F20, a scaled-down version of the F30 intended for casual use. It was also sold under the names F20SE and F20 LE.

F40fd

In March 2007, Fujifilm released the F40fd, succeeding the F20.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fujifilm FinePix F series” as digital camera. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2005, 2006, 2007—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Fujifilm, FinePix and series can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as digital camera. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q5507392. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
