FUJIFILM FinePix F40fd Digital Camera

I is so idiot proof in auto mode its great, i like the Fd altho it takes some getting used to but when you have read manuals ( like most blokes i did not ) the fetures are truley outstanding.

The only problem i had is the supplied soft ware conflicts with my all in one printer scanner, i have to remove software to down load pics the quality of the pics are fantastic.

on refecetion graet camara poor soft ware

As stated, it is an amazing camera for what it is - point and shoot. The camera has great indoor results and the flash does not give the picture washed out feel. Very easy on the eyes and very good results - and very little noise.

Trustedreviews.com rates this camera 9/10 and recommended - and you can pick it up for about £80 - worth every last penny!

Usually compact cameras have a fairly small 1/2.5" sensor. This has a 1/1.6" superCCD sensor, which is about as good as it gets outside of a dSLR. The result is that this camera produces images which are exceprionally good, at a very low price. The camera is largely automatic and there is no facility to set aperture or shutter speed priority, but frankly I never use those settings anyway on a point and shoot and very rarely on better cameras.

There is a large and well detailed 2.7" LCD screen but no viewfinder, which is a nuisance on bright days, but again most people use the screen for composition and few compacts have viewfinders. ISO sensitivity goes up to 1600 which is grainy but useable and the more realistic 800 ISO setting gives pretty good images.

The camera is fairly heavy, having a lot of metal in the frame, butr fine for a pocket or handbag. Bottom line: top quality image, get one while they are still available - or the F45FD which is identical but blue.

it was time for an upgrade of my finepix camera and at the price i felt it was a bargain , the only slight downside i can find is there is no viewfinder for shooting in bright sunlight, but one can easily get along with the large screen . a great buy highly recommended

This seems to be a great little camera and takes some great pictures in all lights indoors and out. Very easy and simple to use with good battery life.

easy to use liked it because it was small came quickly seller very helpful sent instruction info on line it was cheaper than the shops price and had 1 years warrenty

The compact size and range of facilities along with the very good picture quality influenced my decision. This camera is very reasonably priced and has a solid quality feel.

My only criticism is the poor resident memory - an xd 'M' Card is essential to get the best results.
