Has aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls
Abstract: Fujifilms F-series of compact cameras has been leading the way for quality and value for the past 18 months. Sadly, the F50fd fails to live up to this legacy. Its an attractive camera with some impressive features, but the 12-megapixel sensor brin...
Outstanding pictures; large screen; image stabilisation; customisable modes
Slow performance
The Fujifilm F50fd is an exceptional compact for anyone after a user-friendly yet sophisticated camera, with a wealth of features, large screen and excellent image quality ...
Dual image stabilization (including CCD-shift), Improved face detection, Dual memory card slot (SD and xD), IrSimple-enabled, Natural Light & with Flash mode is great for point-and-shooters, Portrait Enhancer mode is a nice addition, Micro thumbnai...
Limited wide-angle (35mm) -- doesnt give much of an opportunity to squeeze 10 people into the shot, Big dip in high ISO performance compared to the F31fd, Slow operation speeds, Battery life not as remarkable as predecessor, Slick outer shell lacks go...
After resisting the temptation to chase megapixels for a number of camera generations, Fujifilm finally caved. With a jump up to 12 megapixels and the addition of mechanical image stabilization, some might feel the F50fd is a conventional move toward a...

Takes good snapshots with accurate colors, Face Detection is excellent, Nicely featured for a point-and-shoot
High noise at ISO 800 and above, Slow saving multiple files, Menus need to be streamlined
For less than $250 USD, you can hardly go wrong with this camera thanks to its solid feature package (mechanical image stabilization, 12MP resolution, improved Face Detection). Remember there are limitations, particularly shooting at high ISOs (800 and...
Abstract: Back when everyone was having a go at Fujifilm for exaggerating the resolution of its SuperCCD sensors by using image interpolation, I used to get a lot of press releases and even nice little booklets from them, explaining in great detail how the total me...
Class leading resolution, Improved slimmer design and a few new features, Superb results at low ISO settings, Natural but vivid colors, Although not as good as the F31fd, ISO 400 and 800 still far better than most, ISO 1600 usable for small prints, Low sh...
Some noise reduction artefacts visible at 100% even at ISO 100, Strong chroma noise at ISO 800+ and shadow noise visible at ISO 400 in low light, Some corner softness, Few external controls, User interface feels outdated and fiddly, Noisy focus, macro foc...
