Fuji FinePix F50fd

Comments:
The Fuji FinePix F50fd ($399) is the long-awaited successor to the popular FinePix F30 and F31fd. I was a huge fan of the F30: it had much better high ISO performance than your typical compact camera (thanks to its SuperCCD sensor design), plus snappy per

Review Verdict: The Fujifilm Finepix F50fd is a frustrating beast. On one hand it offers a number of significant improvements when compared with the older F31fd, but on the other it takes a serious backwards step in terms of image quality, which is ultimately what every

Fuji Finepix F50 Full Review

Comments:
The Fuji Finepix F50 is an evolution of both the F31fd and the F40fd. While the F50's feature set comes from the F31fd with its shutter and aperture priority modes not found on most ultra-compact digital cameras, its design closely resembles the F40fd. As

REVIEW-FUJIFILM FINEPIX F50fd

Comments:
The F50fd (the fd stands for face detection, which really works and is surprisingly useful) is a 12 megapixel compact camera, using Fuji's own Super CCD sensor which is a bit larger than the competition. The lens has a modest 35-105mm zoom range (film equ

Review Verdict: If you can live with a top ISO of 200 - which is the standard speed of most colour negative film that we used in the past - then the Fuji is a terrific little camera. We would like an optical viewfinder, but they are a fast disappearing camera feature. We

Cons: There is always a but. The stunning image quality ends at ISO200. Up to that speed the pictures are perfect, above that speed they deteriorate, due to the excessive pixel density. At ISO400 the pictures start to look grainy, and the in-camera noise reduct

The Fuji Finepix F50 is a pocket sized digital camera. It has 12 megapixels and a 3x zoom lens. It has a number of extra features that can be hard to find on such a small camera. Picture quality is very good, especially in lower light.

Review Verdict: This is an impressive camera. Small enough to fit into a pocket it can take a decent photo in most situations. It is one of the best lowlight compact cameras around. It also has a few extra features than a typical point and shoot camera. Recommended.

Review Verdict: 3x zoom lenses, CCD-shift image stabilisers, face-recognition AF, and 12MP sensors are all relatively commonplace these days but the F50fd brings everything together well. It's a highly intuitive camera that's fun to use and delivers great image quality

Fujifilm has jumped on the 12-megapixel bandwagon, but has it lost more than it has gained?
