Review summary: Can Fuji's latest compact, the FinePix F60fd measure up to its earlier models?

Pros: Body design, low-light focusing, handling

Cons: Limited dynamic range, high ISO noise

Verdict: The F60fd is a well-made, attractively styled camera with good handling and some useful features, but the limited zoom range is a handicap. Low light focusing is outstanding, but it lacks the high-ISO quality of its predecessors.

Review summary: The Fujifilm FinePix F60fd is a 12 Megapixel compact with a 3x zoom lens, built-in stabilisation and a 3in screen. Announced in August 2008, it's the successor to the popular FinePix F50fd, and shares the same sensor, same lens and the same chunky ...

Verdict: It's becoming increasingly common for many new compacts to be minor updates over their predecessors, and the FinePix F60fd is a prime example. As described above, it's identical to the earlier FinePix F50fd, bar Scene Recognition, improved face ...

Review summary: The Fujifilm FinePix F60fd is a 12-megapixel shooter that sits near the top of Fujifilm's lineup. Available for around $250 it has fallen in price a bit since its first release. The F60fd offers a range of interesting features, including face ...

Verdict: On the back of the camera you'll find a comfortably large 3-inch LCD display. To the right of the screen is a collection of controls, including a rather small mode dial and a 4-way navigation cluster. Given the tiny size of that mode dial, we were ...

Review summary: This is a 12 megapixel camera with a 35-105mm (film equivalent) zoom lens. Image stabilisation is by CCD shift and, in dual mode, ISO increase. There is face recognition and in-camera red eye removal. There are limited manual controls, but in use we ...

Pros: Image quality is generally good with some tendency to underexpose in dim light. Skin tones are fine and faithful. This is one of the better cameras for auto-white balance. We found that using the N setting we got good results under a mix of available ...

Cons: The lack of an optical viewfinder is always annoying. Sony and Canon can fit OVFs at this price point - why doesn't every manufacturer?

Verdict: We like the Fuji look, particularly for skin tones. It took some trial and error before we settled on the N setting and decided it was best to let the camera make the decisions, even if it does mean occasionally hitting ISO levels too high for clean ...

Review summary: This is a digital camera that is easily small enough to fit in a pocket or purse but this does not mean it is lacking in features. It is a 12MP offering that has scene recognition, face detection and auto red eye removal to mention just three.

Verdict: It is 9x6x2cm and weights only 165grams. Doing a quick run round the unit mine was a rather nice matt black with silver fitments such as the Fujinon lens F=8-24mm. Above and to it's right by a minimum of 2cm is the flash. The left side is bland while ...
