Fuji DX-10 vs MX-1200

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

Hey guys... I am really confused between 2 models of Fuji digital cameras.. 1. DX-10 2. MX-1200

Dx-10 has resolution of 850 k compared to 1300 k of MX-1200 But some how MX-1200 doesn't have video output which Dx-10 has.. so u can not view the picture on TV.

Prices of both models are more -less at different sites.. Also the reviews of both the models as well the picture quality look almost alike !!

Also , I am not sure how much of smartmedia media u get with these cameras..some sites say 2 mb for dx-10 some say 4 mb.. as compared to 4 mb of mx-1200.

Please help me ... which one should I buy ? Also the funny thing is when Best Buy sells MX-1200 for $200 , the other sites are still seling it for $250 ~ $299.

The MX1200 is the successor to the DX-10 (My local stores can't get hold of the DX10 anymore! I wanted one, until I saw the Tosh PDR-M3)

When it was for sale it came with a 2mb Card.

Hi Amit,

Get the MX-1200. The Fuji DX-10 is hard to come by these days and generally isn't selling for much less than the MX-1200. The extra pixels you get with the MX-1200 are a VERY big deal. Check out the Comparometer house shots for both cameras, and you'll see that the DX- 10 has less fine detail overall, plus it nerbles up hard edges like the roof lines.

I own a DX-10, and I always have to be careful about framing so I don't have to crop my images and lose pixels. After resizing images for a 4" X 6" print, they end up being ~170 pixels per inch on the printout. My new 1.3 megapixel camera lets me print at over 200 ppi, and it's a big improvement.

As for the TV-out, it's a real crowd-pleaser. It's also a better way of evaluating photos than squinting at the LCD. However, the novelty wears off pretty quickly, and your computer is still the best tool for checking out your photos.
