Fujifilm's 2012 slim superzoom — 16MP CCD, stabilised 10x 28-280mm lens, 3in LCD, 720p video, SD storage.
The FinePix T400 was announced in January 2012 as an entry-level slim superzoom in Fujifilm's T-series, succeeding the T350 with a higher-resolution sensor. It was sold in several colours including black, silver, blue, purple and pink, and aimed at buyers who wanted long zoom reach in a genuinely pocketable camera.
A 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sits behind a 10x zoom equivalent to 28-280mm, with Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation combining sensor-shift and high-ISO measures to steady the long end. Sensitivity runs ISO 100-1600 per Fujifilm's official specification, the rear 3.0-inch LCD handles composition, and video tops out at 720p as is typical for CCD compacts. Storage is SD/SDHC/SDXC and power comes from the compact NP-45A lithium-ion battery.
As a first camera or lightweight travel companion the T400 delivers flexible framing from wide-angle to real telephoto with simple point-and-shoot operation, including face recognition, smile-and-shoot and motion panorama modes. Its limits are equally typical: small-sensor noise indoors, no manual exposure, and contrast-detect autofocus that slows in dim light.
Used prices are low, so condition matters more than spec. Cycle the 10x zoom fully to check for motor hesitation, verify stabilisation is active in the menu and effective at 280mm equivalent, and look for the usual worn-screen and dented-corner signs of pocket carry. The NP-45A battery and SD cards remain cheap and current, making this an easy camera to put back into service.
