Fujifilm's entry-level JV-series pocket compact — 14MP, 3x zoom, 2.7in LCD, fully automatic operation
The FinePix JV170 was a slim budget compact in Fujifilm's JV line, the entry-level tier of the J-series pocket cameras sold in the early 2010s. It was retailed in the UK and Europe and slots numerically between the JV150 generation and the later JV200/JV250 models in the range.
It is built around a 14-megapixel sensor with a 3x optical zoom (6.3x digital) and a 2.7-inch rear LCD, with no viewfinder. Feature-wise it offered Automatic Scene Recognition (SR Auto), face detection with red-eye removal, PictBridge and Exif Print support, in the same fully automatic mould as the rest of the JV family.
Like its siblings it is a pocketable point-and-shoot for casual snapshots, with minimal controls and modest low-light ability. It suits buyers wanting a cheap, small early-2010s compact rather than anyone needing zoom reach or manual settings.
These sold with a proprietary rechargeable battery, so confirm a working battery and charger are included, as replacements are third-party only. Check the lens extends cleanly, the screen is unscratched, and test a card in the slot before relying on it, as detailed documentation for this model is sparse.
