Fujifilm Fine Pix J38 12 MP Digital Camera 3x Optical Zoom, 5.7x Digital Zoom, 2.7" TFT Screen, Black

The Fujifilm Fine Pix J38 has a slim 0.8" (20mm) body whose front panel holds a Fujinon-branded 3x optical zoom lens offering a range from a 32mm-equivalent wide angle to a 96mm-equivalent telephoto. Behind this lens sits a 1/2.3" CCD image sensor with twelve megapixel resolution. Sadly, there's no mechanical image stabilization, with the Fujifilm J38 limited to what Fuji is terming "Picture Stabilization mode" which attempts to freeze blur by boosting the ISO sensitivity (and hence shutter speeds / noise levels).

ISO sensitivity ranges up to a maximum of ISO 1,600 equivalent at full resolution, or ISO 3,200 at reduced resolution of three megapixels or below. The Fuji FinePix J38's rear panel has no provision for an optical viewfinder, instead opting solely for a 2.7" LCD display with 230,000 dots of resolution.
