Fujifilm's 2011 budget slim compact — 12MP CCD behind a 3x 37-111mm zoom, Li-ion powered.
The Fujifilm FinePix JV110 was a budget slim compact from 2011, part of Fuji's low-cost JV line that followed the 2010 JV100 and JV105. It was built as an inexpensive everyday point-and-shoot with a short zoom and pocketable body, sold in several colour finishes. Its role was simple snapshot photography at the bottom of Fuji's range rather than enthusiast use.
The JV110 used a 1/2.3-inch CCD of 12.2 effective megapixels with a 3x optical zoom covering a 37-111mm equivalent range at a maximum aperture of F3.2 wide to F5.9 telephoto. It had a 2.7-inch LCD of about 230,000 dots and no viewfinder. Video recording reached 1280x720 in Motion JPEG, ISO ran to 3200, and power came from a proprietary NP-45A lithium-ion battery rather than AA cells. Stabilisation was electronic rather than sensor-shift.
The JV110 suited casual daylight snapshots, travel keepsakes and first-camera use where small size and low cost were the priorities. It slipped into a pocket easily and needed little setup. The short zoom, small sensor and electronic-only stabilisation limited reach and low-light results, and the lack of a viewfinder meant composing on the LCD in all conditions.
On the used market, check the extending lens for smooth travel and the LCD for dead pixels or scratches. Confirm the proprietary NP-45A battery still holds charge, as fresh cells add to a cheap camera's cost, and inspect the card and battery door latches. Look for sensor dust or marks in plain bright frames. Resale is minimal; the JZ-series travel-zooms are a natural step up for more reach, while the earlier JV100 is a near-identical alternative.
