Camera Labs have reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix F60fd - an update to the F50fd - the camera features a 12 megapixels sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, image stabilisation sensor, ISO 1600, new 3″ screen, face detection, full manual controls, and scene recognition mode. The FinePix F60fd is available for £145
“The 12 Megapixels might not make much difference over the detail resolved by 10 Megapixel models, but it’s refreshing to find full control over the aperture and shutter, not to mention a number of innovative approaches designed to maximise your chances of decent people shots, especially in low light. And in our tests, the face detection on the F60fd was ahead of all rivals, comfortably locking onto subjects in complete profile.”
