Fuji FinePix F50fd

The Fuji FinePix F50fd comes with a bargin price tag which is a considerable amount cheaper than its rivals for example the Canon lxus 970IS is a whooping £111 more expensive. Again with any so called bargin digital camera bargin you have to watch out for a catch, in this case the catch is ‘quality’. Although for for an average camera user its fine only the professional photographer may find it lacking that cutting edge

The Fuji FinePix comes with a 12 mega pixel sensor which allows for 20% more detailed images than many of its 10 mega pixel rivals. Don’t let this fool you though many of the pictures we took using the camera came out fuzzy and full of noise (its not our camera taking ability we a sure you!). However colour output was of a decent standard and we were able to produce some good vibrant shots although the quality was not as good as the lxus 970 digital camera

Our favorite feature of this camera is a natural and flash feature which takes two pictures at once one using the flash one with out. This a great little feature and real gem when you are not decided what the shot will look like without the flash etc. As with most compact digital cameras the manual controls are basic but has everything you would expect from a compact camera including aperture control.

Pros - great price for people on a budget, innovative functions

Cons - fuzzy, noisy output, terrible anti shake system
