Fujifilm's basic AV-line compact — 10MP CCD, 3x 32-96mm zoom, 720p video, SD/SDHC cards and two-AA power.
The FinePix AV10 was the most basic model in Fujifilm's early-2010s AV line of AA-powered budget compacts, slotting in beneath the 12-megapixel AV100 series. It has its own official Fujifilm owner's manual and was a common supermarket and catalogue purchase, which is why so many now surface on the used market.
It records 10-megapixel images from a CCD sensor through a Fujinon 3x optical zoom equivalent to 32-96mm, extendable with digital zoom. The rear carries a 2.7-inch LCD, and the camera can record 1280x720 HD video clips. Files are saved to SD/SDHC memory cards, power comes from two AA batteries, and Fujifilm's Scene Recognition Auto handles exposure decisions along with face detection.
The AV10 is a no-frills snapshot camera whose appeal today is practicality: AA cells and SD cards mean nothing obsolete is needed to run it. Image quality is standard small-sensor CCD fare, best in good light, and the plastic body is light but bulkier than the slim J-series compacts of the same era.
Because these were cheap cameras, many used examples were stored with batteries fitted, so inspect the AA compartment for corrosion first. Confirm the zoom extends cleanly and the flash fires, check the SD slot's spring and contacts, and look over the 2.7-inch screen for pressure marks; with those clear, running costs are minimal.
