4 out of 5 stars One serious negative for an otherwise great little camera...   July 9, 2008

I received this camera in the mail today (fantastic quick shipping BTW) and immediately charged and use it.

The Fujufilm Finepix F50fd takes excellent pictures. Focus, image detail, color depth/accuracy, and egonomics are excellent.

HOWEVER, whoever decided on the battery and charging method for this camera hasn't ever actually used a personal digital camera. The battery is sorely small for this camera and doesn't last more than 100 or so pictures at max detail. When compared to the F10 which would take around 500 pictures, one is disappointed.

Additionally, you cannot charge the battery in the camera. You must carry around a separate, small (easily misplaced) charger or ignore the battery and plug the camera in when downloading pictures.



5 out of 5 stars A Perfect vacation camera   May 31, 2008

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.

4 out of 5 stars A good buy for a digital p&s with creative potential...   May 19, 2008
John M. Bruchas (Chicago suburbs)
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!

So far we are pleased with the camera. We had to get a ndw memory card for it, but now it is working fine.


5 out of 5 stars Fujifilm Finepix F50fd 12 MP camera   April 21, 2008

Pros: 12 MP is great for zooming and zooming and not losing clarity. It is small and easy to use. Video with sound is very clear.
Cons: the display is the only viewfinder, difficult to see if you got the shot during bright sunlight.
Overall a great little 12 mp camera. I really enjoy it. I would highly recommend it to anyone beginner or advanced. The best image stabilization product I have used so far.
