Manufacturer Description
Introducing the Finepix F50fd digital camera, featuring all the latest developments in face detection, image processing, and image stabilization into a compact digital camera

The newly developed Face Detection 2.0 chip adds the data of side-on faces and angled faces into the originally developed Face Detection chip, and greatly expands the camera’s ability to detect faces. Face Detection 2.0 detects up to 10 faces in as little as 0.05 seconds even though the subject may be turned sideways or is lying down. This next generation technology not only optimizes focus and exposure of detected faces but also enhances total quality by setting the ideal white balance to give stunning sets of photos.

Moreover, the FinePix F50fd employs clever red-eye correction software which, when combined with Face Detection 2.0 technology, instantly identifies and corrects red-eye, either as the shot is taken or in playback mode.

The FinePix F50fd incorporates a Fujinon 3x optical lens and the newly developed 7th-generation 12-megapixel Super CCD. This new 12-megapixel Super CCD gives exceptional resolution. Every photographer, from beginners to photo enthusiast, will marvel at the ability of the F50fd to distinguish small details like single strands of hair and to faithfully reproduce fine skin tones. The new 12.0-Megapixel sensor works closely in conjunction with the RP (Real Photo) Processor? and features several key improvements that increase the camera’s efficiency. Even at the highest ISO 6400 sensitivity, image quality is amazingly high with minimal noise interference.

In addition, this is the first time that CCD shift Image Stabilization has been introduced into a FinePix camera. Combining CCD shift Image Stabilization with high ISO sensitivity, the F50fd offers a synergistic effect of excellent anti-blur protection, called Dual Image Stabilization. Even in dark scenes and at night, the Dual Image Stabilization system gives crisp results every time. High sensitivity allows camera to increase shutter speed to freeze the action, while CCD shift Image Stabilization automatically compensates for camera shake.

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd Highlights

Face Detection 2.0 New Face Detection 2.0 by Fujifilm advances Face Detection technology to a whole new level. By combining our existing advanced Face Detection with new processing capabilities, Face Detection 2.0 delivers better recognition of faces, even at angles never able to be detected by other systems. Additionally, Face Detection 2.0 allows for other useful features to be added such as Automatic Red-Eye removal. The most advanced Face Detection technology available today!

Dual Image Stabilization The FinePix F50fd gives you the best of both worlds where image stabilization is concerned. With industry standard optical images stabilization, the photographers hand is steadied for a clearer, blur free shot. Add to that the addition of Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization Technology, and increase clarity and sharpness is achieved, even in low light conditions or when shooting moving subjects. The combination of the two is the ultimate in stabilization technology.

Customer Reviews

12 MP digital camera
this is a great camera.
my first digital was also a fuji. my son is using it now. 2 other digital cameras I have had are trash. lasted 1>2 years and died.
purchased one for a co-worker, for her son @ work, and he says it is great.
battery life is very good, second battery is a good idea though, no loss of picture time that way.
have taken several videos with it in Vegas, they came out very good.

Very Disappointed!!!!
I bought this camera hoping to realize and enjoy higher resolution over my then current, Kodak 2MP camera. Boy was I ever disappointed. No matter how I tried to tweak the camera, it gave me CONSISTANTLY bad images. Grainy-over exposed-noisy. Fuji's customer service wouldn't give me the time of day and blamed my lack of ability and not their poor product. Never again will I buy their products and I will preach to all who will listen, not to buy their products. I put it up for sale on the internet, took a good size loss, and bought a a Sony Cyber-shot W170, 10.1 MP. Now.....finally....I'm getting great results!

ALMOST PERFECT CAMERA
Yes, i gave this camera 5 stars even though i'm referring to it as "almost" perfect - here's the deal - i don't think there's a little teeny camera out there that will satisfy everyone. no, the flash is not going to be as strong, and no, the manual settings won't be as versatile, etc. etc..... however, i've taken this camera to europe three times and have gotten fantastic photos of everything from landscapes to portraits to shots using the N setting, only relying on natural light. I really do love the face detection feature since i rely on other people to take my husband's and my photos on vacation, and usually our heads are out of focus. we can be standing a yard away from each other with this camera and our faces are now in focus ! and it's for that reason i'm giving both my daughters this camera for christmas, since their peers seem to know little about setting the focus. i also have the fuji S8000 fd and i use that when i really want creative photos. the flash is stronger, obviously, the macro macro setting is unbelievable, etc. but for a teeny camera that can go anywhere with you, this one is almost perfect !
