The Fujifilm Finepix F50fd is the successor to the popular Finepix F31fd model, retaining its manual controls in the form of aperture-priority and shutter-priority modes, whilst adding Face Detection 2, a new technology that automatically enables it to identify up to 10 faces in a frame, in both full profile and at virtually any angle. Fujifilm have doubled the image resolution from 6 to 12 megapixels, added a slightly larger 2.7 inch LCD screen and refined the body design, which is now 23mm thick and sports a new 'Aero curve' design. The ISO range has been increased to 100-6400 and the F50fd also offers a CCD-shift image stabilisation system, allowing you take more natural photos in low-light conditions without having to resort to using the flash. The F31fd was renowned for being one of the best performing compact digital cameras in low-light conditions, producing usable images all the way up to ISO 1600. Combined with the creative shooting modes, this made the F31fd a great pocket camera for the discerning shutterbug. Can the F50fd, with twice the resolution, maintain the reputation of its predecessor? Read the whole review here. You can buy the camera here
