Digital camera reviews of Fujifilm Finepix F50fd 12MP Digital Camera with 3 x Optical Image Stabilization
Digital camera Review: 12 MP digital camera
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a great camera.
my first digital was also a fuji. my son is using it now. 2 other digital cameras I have had are trash. lasted 1>2 years and died.
purchased one for a co-worker, for her son @ work, and he says it is great.
battery life is very good, second battery is a good idea though, no loss of picture time that way.
have taken several videos with it in Vegas, they came out very good.
Digital camera Review: A Perfect vacation camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I was recently on a vacation in St. John USVI and was shooting with a Nikon D70 which was good for landscape and setup pictures.
It was not, however, suited for spontaneous group pictures, lowel-level light situations, and couldn't make movies. My son had a Fuji Finepix F50fdFujifilm Finepix F50fd 12MP Digital Camera with 3 x Optical Image Stabilization that shot fantastic pictures in all these formats.
When I got home I bought one and can't believe the capability from such a small camera. This week I took it to a baseball game and, sitting in the top tier, I shot a movie segment that was very good, sound and all. The 2.7 inch window is very sharp, even in bright sunlight -- much better than my Nikon.
It also produces very high resolution pictures that can be easily edited to produce sharp prints up to 8x10 inches. I take it everywhere just to try every occasion. It has all the built-in scenes that you can set for the type of picture you're taking, like most cameras but, in addition, it has two "N" settings, one that takes two pictures of the same shot -- one with flash and the other without flash so you can select either, or both shots.
The other "N" setting flattens a low-light scene without flash that normally could not be taken without producing that flash burst in the picture. In this mode the lighting from the camera produces a consistent level of light across the entire scene.
Another pleasant experience is the user guide. It is excellent! I wrote computer technical manuals for years and can tell you that it couldn't be better.
That's it! I'm still learning to use all the capabilities of this great camera.

Digital camera Review: A good buy for a digital p&s with creative potential...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera because some older hands at photography were raving about it. I am in my late 50's and these guys are late 60's and still shooting a lot. Duh - I actually paid $30 more from a NYC camera shop than what Amazon is selling this gem for.
What I like are is the idea that I CAN go to 12 megapixels for a shot if I want to. Normally I capture at 6 megapixels on it.
I really like the pocket-size of the camera.
But my favorite feature is "the magic f button" to set the camera to emulate Fuji color film tones.
This is truly a pocket camera - so think about buying a hard shell case to loop around your belt as an accessory. Also look for buys in 2GB SD cards.
I use them instead of the xD cards.
I currently shoot with my Leica D Lux 3 (wunderbar but anemic flash), a Canon G7 for live theatre shots and now the Fuji for quick grab shots. I also intend to carry the Fuji in my bike bag in it's little hard shell case.
I am very happy with the Finepix f50 fd!
Digital camera Review: A great Digital Camera to consider
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased Fuji F50 with a 2GB XD card. I used the camera non stop during my 3 weeks of vacation. The camera is small enough to fit in your pocket. The battery life was excellent; The charger works fast and without hassel although I think it would have been better to make it a plug in charger intead of pulling the battery out and fit it in the charger unit!
Picture quality is great, movie mode is excellent. I used it to make a movie in a high speed motorcycle and it came out absolutely beautiful.
I have recommended this Fuji F50 to all my family and relatives.
Digital camera Review: ALMOST PERFECT CAMERA
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, i gave this camera 5 stars even though i'm referring to it as "almost" perfect - here's the deal - i don't think there's a little teeny camera out there that will satisfy everyone. no, the flash is not going to be as strong, and no, the manual settings won't be as versatile, etc. etc..... however, i've taken this camera to europe three times and have gotten fantastic photos of everything from landscapes to portraits to shots using the N setting, only relying on natural light. I really do love the face detection feature since i rely on other people to take my husband's and my photos on vacation, and usually our heads are out of focus. we can be standing a yard away from each other with this camera and our faces are now in focus ! and it's for that reason i'm giving both my daughters this camera for christmas, since their peers seem to know little about setting the focus. i also have the fuji S8000 fd and i use that when i really want creative photos. the flash is stronger, obviously, the macro macro setting is unbelievable, etc. but for a teeny camera that can go anywhere with you, this one is almost perfect !
