Fujifilm FinePix F50fd

An extra slimline design gives this camera a great feel in your hand,and the image stablizers and good face detection will easily outface some of the competitors versions hands down.

They also offer a great set of aperture and shutter priority controls that are a super new addition.

The Fuji is probably going to make many mid range camera bugs happy, and with the inclusion of the more than average exposure controls its probably going to even appeal to some of the more advanced photographers in the group who want that extra control at their fingertips.

Its price range, being between 190 and 290 USD is going to please those who are trying to get more camera for their buck, and the 12 megapixels and the 3x optical zoom aren’t going to hurt a thing when it comes to drawing in new fans.

The camera is a bit sluggish between images and sometimes will offer you a little noise, even when set at the lower iso’s, but even for a camera that doesn’t include a full manual exposure, it’s going to be a great addition to the photographers arsenal.

F50fd offers you a 12-megapixel Super CCD imaging sensor, 3x optical 35-to-105mm f/2.8-5.1 zoom lens, and 2.7-inch 230,000-pixel LCD.
