Fuji FinePix F100fd - UK Digital Camera Review

Fuji FinePix F100fd Review

The Fuji FinePix F100fd goes beyond ultra sensitivity by extending its dynamic range, the range between dark and bright areas, to achieve even more detail in your photograph and capturing the changes in tone. The Fujinon 5x optical zoom lens is praised by many in the professional field as it has the ability to deliver high performance and clarity.

The 12 megapixel Super CCD VIII and 8.2x digital zoom offer high resolution and sensitivity resulting in highly detailed photographs which are clear and sharp also with the help of the RP Processor III.

Reviewer: Paul Gauci - Malta
A nice compact camera that can slide in any pocket.It has the latest digital camera technology and takes sharp pictures with crisp vivid colours.Though simple to use in the Auto mode, yet it has several settings that can be made manually. It is not a cheap camera because in Malta it costs 360 euros (average), but I think that the results given are worth the money spent. It has 5 X optical zoom, a 2.7 inch liquid crystal screen, face recognition and red eye elimination. I regard this camera as a little wonder,compared to my Olympus FE200 bought two years ago for nearly the same price.
