Fujifilm's 2003 pocket compact — 3.1MP SuperCCD HR (6MP output), 3x 38-114mm zoom, xD card storage
The Fujifilm FinePix F410 was a slim pocket compact announced in early 2003 as the successor to the FinePix F401 in Fujifilm's style-led F-series. It was the first Fujifilm compact to carry the third-generation SuperCCD HR sensor, and it was listed by some outlets under the fuller name FinePix F410 Zoom. The all-silver metal body with cobalt blue front lights was typical of Fujifilm's early-2000s design language.
Specifications: a 3.1-megapixel 1/2.7in SuperCCD HR sensor interpolating to 6-megapixel output (2816x2120 maximum), a 5.7-17.1mm Super EBC Fujinon 3x zoom equivalent to 38-114mm with automatically selected apertures of f/2.8 or f/7, contrast-detection autofocus with a macro range down to 10cm, ISO 200-800, shutter speeds from 1/4 to 1/2000s, a 1.5in LCD plus a real-image optical viewfinder, xD-Picture Card storage and a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery charged in-camera from the supplied AC adapter.
The F410 is a true point-and-shoot: exposure is fully automatic, with manual mode adding only white balance and exposure compensation. Reviewers praised its colour rendering and pocketability but noted visible noise against rival 3-megapixel compacts and a 1/4s maximum exposure that limits night photography. It suits casual shooters and collectors of early CCD compacts rather than anyone wanting control.
On the used market, xD-Picture Cards are long discontinued and command real money, and the camera originally shipped with only a 16MB card, so check whether a card is included. The proprietary lithium-ion pack is over twenty years old — confirm it still holds charge and that the AC adapter (which doubles as the charger) is present. Test the sliding lens cover, telescoping barrel and LCD before buying.
