Fujifilm Finepix F50fd Digital Camera
June 12, 2008

The Fujifilm Finepix F50fd Steel Grey Digital Camera succeeds one of the most popular models of the company, the ‘Finepix F31fd’, renowned for its competitive performance at low light environments. In the new edition, they have effectively retained the manual controls of the previous model as the aperture and shutter priority modes. However, they have also augmented the new one with a dramatic 4 MP increase that takes the total up to a whomping 12 MP resolution, augmented the LCD screen to a 2.7” device supporting 100% scene coverage, refined the body to an Aero curve design and also added a novel concept called Face Detection 2.
Face Detection 2 and co
A technology that realises up to ten faces in a frame with intuition is known as Face Detection 2. The F50fd also features a mechanical CCD-shift and ISO 6400 combination for image stabilisation followed by the advanced IrSimple technology to receive or send picture data to and from other feature supporting devices through infrared method. Amongst the various shooting modes, the Natural Light and Flash and Natural Light modes excel. The former refers to a process of increased shutter speed, with fast ISO speeds minus the flash, enabling explicit natural results while the latter, when employed, effects the clicking of two photos, one with and the other without flash. A choice can be made later from a saved collection of both the images.
Other key modes
- Portrait, Portrait enhancer and landscape
- Sport, night , fireworks, sunset
- Snow, beach, underwater
- Museum, party, flower, text
- A smart continuous shooting mode
Additional Flash News and White Balancing aspect
The Fujifilm Finepix F50fd Compact Digital Camera comes with a built in flash that further effectuates Auto Flash, Red Eye Reduction, Suppressed Flash, Forced Flash, Slow Synchro and Red Eye Reduction with Slow Synchro modes. The White balancing aspect of the camera engages different themes like Fine, Daylight, Shade, Warm white, Incandescent light, Cool Light and custom for presetting automatic scene recognition.
Recording and Playback
The F50fd supports the movie recording of 30 frames/sec (640 x 480 pixels) and 25 frames/sec (320 x 240 pixels) with monaural sound. For still images, a data of 4000 x 3000 / 4224 x 2816 in 3:2 formats and 2848 x 2136 / 2048 x 1536 / 1600 x 1200 / 640 x 480 pixels lie subject to recorded memory. The playback functions of the model also excel with an array of features like slideshow, face detection with red eye removal, micro thumbnail mode, date sorting, rotate image, voice memo, trimming, single frame and multi frame playback.
Conclusion
The chief advantages of the Fujifilm Finepix F50fd Pocket Digital Camera are the shutter and aperture priority modes, a good image stabilisation mode and an exceptional face determination aspect. However, too many shutterbugs believe that, in spite of all the pro factors, the whomping increase of 4 mega pixels along with obscure ISO speeds of 800-3200 has clearly boomeranged the image quality of the model. In these circumstances, the F31fd should obviously stand tall, rated as the compact model rendering best low light performance.

Fujifilm FinePix F31fd Digital Camera
June 1, 2008

Successor to the F30, a popular model of the yesteryears, the Fujifilm FinePix F31fd Compact Digital Camera retains the manual controls of the former. A smart, Face Detection Technology that comes integrated in the processor of the camera distinguishes the model from its predecessor, the F30. This is not as augmented as the Face Detection 2 technology sported by some of the later models, say F50df, as it can also identify up to 10 faces but not as explicitly as the latter. Another modification is the most striking one, the fastest ISO speed of 3200 at the maximal resolution. This is perhaps the trump card of the F31df, enabling it to perform breathtakingly in low light conditions.
Fewer Pixels with a Larger Sensor: A swim against the tide
The F31fd’s meticulously maintained 6.3-megapixel resolution along with the stunning duo, a super CCD HR VI sensor and a Real Photo Processor II hog the credit for its brilliant low light capabilities. The increased light capturing capacity of the combination at a marginal electronic noise enhances sensitivity, resulting in real colour, clear images and fine details. This is obviously the missing factor in the F50df. In addition, the quick response time of the F31fd fortified with a 1.5 sec- start-up time, virtuously eliminate missed opportunities by capturing almost all desired scenes.
Power Packed Illumination
The NP-95 Li-ion battery of the Fujifilm FinePix F31fd Pocket Digital Camera is nothing less than revelation considering the fact that it supports a cool 580 shots per charge. The recharging is also reduced to a trivia for a smart AC adapter that comes with the package, ensuring that no another occasion is missed. The new i-Flash system of the camera along with advanced power aspect proves synergic in providing genuine looking subjects and brightly detailed backgrounds.
Other Key Features
- The model is adorned by a smart Auto Focus with a 5 cm Macro, ably assisted by center, multi and continuous area modes
- Presence of an AF supporting lamp proves the perfect foil to the impressive AF part
- A multi-dimensional white balancing aspect featuring Auto, Fine, Shade, Daylight, Warm white, Cool White and Incandescent light modes also enhances the model
- Continuous shooting of 2.2fps maximum 3 images
- IrSimple technology enables high speed data transfer to and from feature supporting devices
- PictBridge print compliance for accessing a printer without the computer’s help
- The F31fd also allows capturing of VGA movies with sound at a rate of 30 frames per second
- Versatile playback features
Conclusion
The Fujifilm FinePix F31fd 6.3 MP Digital Camera obviously eclipses its precedent, the F30 as well as its successor, the F50fd in the sector of image clarity. Its intuitive conception of right situations at a striking pace is something with which the other models tend to struggle. It also excels in low-light performance, shrewdly using the combined expertise of the anti blur and intelligent flash features. However the absence of a few inspiring features plays the spoilsport to a small extent like a histogram, for shooting as well as the playback, a manual AF, an AF lock on the intended subject and a raw mode. The continuous mode also trails a bit with a 3 shot limit that might turn off the sports professionals.
