Digital camera reviews of Fujifilm Finepix F50fd 12MP Digital Camera with 3 x Optical Image Stabilization
Digital camera Review: Returned it Fast
Summary: 1 Stars
The negative reviews were true. I'm a low light level nut, so I had to buy the F50. Alas, in manual mode ISO 6400 in an ordinary livingroom I found that any table lamp in the picture darkenned everything else out to near black. On my computer, adjusting the gamma could not bring back the dark areas. There was just nothing there.
The ad I saw said 12 megapixels. The manual says 12 "effective" megapixels. I agree with the review that said this looked like 1 megapixel. This is just an opinion. Fuji please don't sue me.
The optical image stabilization combined with digital image stablization worked perfectly.
The F50 outside case and controls are a thing of beauty.
After returning the F50, I bought a factory refurbished F20 for $89 plus shipping. I'm very happy with the F20.
Digital camera Review: So far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
pros: good image quality, ease of use, sturdy body, aperture priority mode
cons: no exposure lock, slower startup speed than Canon's, average low light performance but better than Canons
Digital camera Review: Solid Performer
Summary: 5 Stars
The Fujifilm Finepix F50fd is a solid performer in its price-range and intended audience. Not for the professional photographer looking for total control over the entire photographic process, but then again at the price that should not be expected. It provides solid performance for novices and amateur photographer looking for more than point-and-shoot. It incorporates several functions from higher end SLR digital cameras, but it's easy to use interface allows for the novice to take quality pictures with little effort. For a compact camera at its price level it provides good performance at high sensitivities and they have incorporated a image stabilization feature that is a solid performer providing high light sensitivity and a CCD shift stabilizer system. For the price, size and performance it is among the tops in its class.Digital camera Review: Terrible quality, customer service, and warranty
Summary: 1 Stars
The camera is cheaply made and poorly supported by Fujifilm. My camera has been at Fujifilm's repair shop longer than the total time I've owned it, I still don't have it back, and I've had to pay for repair work while the camera was under warranty.
After owning this camera for only six weeks, the camera stopped working. Fujifilm USA required the camera to be sent in for repair to their shop in Edison, NJ. After waiting more than *two months* without any word from Fujifilm, I received a computer printout in the mail indicating that I needed to pay $85 for repair work, though the camera was defective and under warranty. They charged me $6 for a part that needed replacement and $70 for labor while the camera was under warranty.
I would strongly discourage anyone from buying this camera.
Digital camera Review: Very Disappointed!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this camera hoping to realize and enjoy higher resolution over my then current, Kodak 2MP camera. Boy was I ever disappointed. No matter how I tried to tweak the camera, it gave me CONSISTANTLY bad images. Grainy-over exposed-noisy. Fuji's customer service wouldn't give me the time of day and blamed my lack of ability and not their poor product. Never again will I buy their products and I will preach to all who will listen, not to buy their products. I put it up for sale on the internet, took a good size loss, and bought a a Sony Cyber-shot W170, 10.1 MP. Now.....finally....I'm getting great results!
