Fujifilm Finepix F50fd Review

(5/1/15)
Summary: Fujifilm touts the F50fd as the "pinnacle of technology in a compact camera", and this latest F-series addition to the family maintains Fuji¿s grip on the high ISO performance envelope, although perhaps not as firmly as earlier models. 3200 and 6400 ISO sensitivities give the camera a range not normally found in cameras of this class.
