Digital camera reviews of Fujifilm Finepix F50fd 12MP Digital Camera with 3 x Optical Image Stabilization
Digital camera Review: Excellent range of features
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally had the Fujifilm F10, which I liked for the long battery life and ISO 1600 capability. I bought this product in spite of the 12MP, not because of it; who needs the extra pixels, they presumably reduce battery life and quality? The rated battery life is a bit tight at 230 shots per charge (vs 500 shots for the F10). So I cannot travel with abandon as before without the charger because sometimes I end up in the 300-350 shots per trip range. But the 230 shots will allow me to go all day without worrying about the battery.
I like the double photo with/wo flash feature.
I did some testing at ISO 100-200. I rate the photo quality as "high", but then I'm a snapshotter, not a National Geographic photographer.
I did some testing at ISO 6400. The quality certainly degrades, and because of this, I wouldn't rely on high ISO as a crutch for situations where a tripod cannot be used. However it allows me to get some very nice low light shots without flash that would be completely impossible otherwise. I can proceed in a much darker environment than the ISO 1600 I previously used on the F10.
Edit 1: I now have taken about 1000 shots of friends, family, and landscape. The image stabilization feature is very handy. I'm still very happy with the quality of photo results. Although I didn't buy it because of the smaller packaging, I find it is very handy now that I have used it - it nearly disappears in my shirt pocket.
However, I encountered a single room with apparently unique lighting - it showed as a vertical purple streak in the LCD finder. The streak did not show up in photos, but was distracting during the composure process. However, I later shot 57 minutes of video interviews in this same room - the purple streak remained in the video.
This is the only condition that I have ever seen the streak - the sun was shining and would have been intensified by the snow reflections, but not shining directly into the room. The windows were not in the LCD viewfinder when the streak appeared.

The Fuji Finpix 12mp camera is fantastic. It has a large screen with sharp crisp images. Easy download and a smart camera too. It is just good old fashion Fantastic!Digital camera Review: Fuji F50fd

This camera really takes awesome pictures. I got it to take pictures of my grandson and have taken hundreds already at the zoo, the museum, playing with the dogs and they allways come out perfect. There are some things you just don't want to take a chance on and capturing memories is one of themDigital camera Review: Fuji FinePix 12 MP

First time digital camera owner, fairly user friendly. Takes good, clear pictures, a little sluggish between shots. I would recommend this cameraDigital camera Review: FujiFilm FinePix F50fd

This was a gift to my wife. First time for her to have one and easily learned to use the digital camera. Very sharp pictures for a non-pro.
Thinking of buying one for myself.
