›  See more technical details

Manufacturer's Description
Digital photographers looking for a top-of-the line compact digital camera can now take advantage of the 12-Megapixel FinePix F50fd. Following a long line of award-winning F-Series models, the FinePix F50fd offers consumers a super-compact digital camera that takes beautiful shots with the most advanced features and technology available, so that missing great shots is not an option.

Combining a 12-MegaPixel, 7th Generation Super CCD with a 3.0x optical zoom and a 2.7" high-resolution 230.000 pixel wide-angle view LCD, the FinePix F50fd is a compact powerhouse that incorporates all the features users have come to expect from Fujifilm's more advanced digital cameras. With the addition of Dual Image Stabilization, Face Detection 2.0 Technology with Automatic Red Eye Removal function, and ISO settings of up to ISO 6400, the F50fd takes compact digital cameras to the next level, arming users with a host of new features and enabling them to take pictures never before possible.

Fujifilm's proprietary Face Detection Technology also gets an upgrade in the F50fd with the arrival of Face Detection 2.0, featuring Automatic Red Eye Removal. As with the original version of Face Detection, it can detect up to 10 human faces in a scene in as little as 5/100's of a second, correcting focus, exposure, and white balance automatically, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. Face Detection 2.0 adds to this technology by being able to identify faces at much more extreme camera angles than before. No longer does the camera need a head-on shot to identify a face, because now even a profile will do - with up to 90O movement in either direction for profiles, and up to 135O for leaning or lying down in either direction, for a total range of 270O.

Additional improvements to Face Detection 2.0 include a new Automatic Red-Eye Removal feature that automatically corrects red-eye directly after the shot is taken and then saves both the original and the corrected image file.To ensure that users achieve even greater blur-free pictures, the FinePix F50fd adds to Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization mode to create the improved Dual Image Stabilization mode. This combines a mechanically stabilized CCD sensor with high ISO sensitivities for Total Anti-Blur protection. The combination of these two different approaches reduces the "blur"; effect from the photographer's hand-shake and subject movement even further to provide the highest quality digital pictures yet, with sharp, clean and clear results.

All too often, digital photographers run into problems when taking pictures in low-light or dimly lit situations and have to rely on the flash, which can lead to over-exposed and washed-out shots. The FinePix F50fd builds on the great strides previous Fujifilm digicams have made with low-light photography and allows users to effortlessly capture the moment as their eye sees it, with tremendous clarity and low noise, using Fujifilm's Real Photo technology. Thanks to the 7th generation FinePix Super CCD-HR chip and the RP Processor II, the Finepix F50fd can utilize ISO settings of up to ISO 1600 at full resolution and an amazing ISO 6400 at reduced resolution, capturing stunning images even in low light while preserving the natural color and clarity of the shot.

Ide "Star" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I bought this camera after having owned two previous Fuji FinePix earlier models. I had always been very pleased with Fuji cameras, particularly their outstanding ability to take good pictures in low lighting conditions. I often take shots at fairly dark music venues, and have always got good results. I only upgraded as I sadly dropped and broke my last camera. But, I am now very pleased that I did. The F50fd is a big improvement on previous models that I have used. Light, stylish almost too small for all its features! Same great performance in low light conditions, but with even clearer and more detailed pictures due to the high pixel count. For landscape, portrait and macro shots, I cannot fault it either. It has many extra features and manual settings, but I tend to use the automatic presets-yes, I point and click. It is the best digital camera I have owned, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Woolmore "woolyone" (london) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I got this camera as a Christmas present. For the price it is a brilliantly high spec camera. I opted for this as I own a Fuji Finepix F10 and have always been happy with it up till last year when I got back from Egypt and realised my pictures were lacking a bit of the clarity and colour. This camera is obviously a huge improvement. It is well built and the screen on the back is more than adequate. The controls are easy to master. I took it away this weekend on a visit to Snowdonia. The battery life was good and lasted 300 or so pictures half with the flash on. The pictures I got back seem almost professional quality. I started on fully automatic mode and moved on to specific automatic settings such as scenic view and portrait. After a little fiddling with the settings I found the automatic with some manual overrides mode worked best for me. The weather was quite wet and dark the whole weekend, and yet the camera seems to have captured the colours vividly. I have uploaded five pictures in to the customer photos section above. I would recommend this camera to anyone for the price. I just don't think you could fail to be impressed. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Latif - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I've recently this (12 mill pixel) camera and also for half its price Fujifilm's J10 (£65). Owning both these camera I'd recommend the J10 as its photos in the AUTO mode come out a lot sharper and clearly despite being half the price and lower pixels (8.2). The f50 is a much more advanced camera then the J10 but to get decent photos from the f50 you need to use it in manual mode and change the ISO setting, etc depending on your location and surrounding, so not a quick point and shot. So save yourself some money and get the J10. Sadly the f50fd may be feature rich but I think Fujifilm got this model all wrong, maybe its replacement models the f60fd or the f100fd are better, but I don't own them so cant say.
