"In a cutting edge class of its own" Fujifilm are delighted to introduce the FinePix F50fd, the successor to the award-winning FinePix F31fd. Packed with innovative technology and introducing exclusive new features, the FinePix F50fd is designed to make it easier than ever to get perfect pictures and stunning portraits in even the most challenging situations. The all-new sleek and slim metal body is a mere 22.9mm thick and the 'Aero curve' design means that the FinePix F50fd isn't just capable of taking beautiful pictures; it's stylish and slim enough to slip into any pocket or purse. Dual xD-Picture Card and SD/SDHC compatibility gives you the freedom to choose from a wide range of high capacity memory cards. 12 million pixel Super CCD HR VII World's most advanced Face Detection 2.0 technology Portrait Enhancer Automatic red-eye removal Dual Image Stabilisation Wide view 2.7-inch LCD screen Micro Thumbnail (100 shot) view Beautifully formed The graceful curves and sleek design belie the complex electronics within the F50fd’s tough metal exterior. At a depth of only 22.9mm, it’s a perfect fit for a pocket or handbag and is available in two classic colours, Silver and Black.       Highly Sensative The TIPA and DIMA award-winning FinePix F30 set the standard for low light photography. The FinePix F50fd builds on this heritage with a larger than average 1/1.6 inch 12 megapixel Seventh Generation Super CCD HR sensor and Real Photo Processor II. Together these allow ultra high-resolution capture with breathtaking detail, even at high ISO settings. The newly developed sensor design features several key improvements that increase the efficiency with which each pixel gathers light, and an enhanced two-stage noise reduction system ensures that noise is kept to a minimum without valuable detail being lost. Despite doubling the number of pixels, the new sensor offers similar performance to the groundbreaking FinePix F30 and F31fd at sensitivity settings up to ISO 3200. For shooting in the very lowest light without compromising image quality, the FinePix F50fd offers sensitivity modes of up to ISO 6400 at lower resolutions.   Optical zoom This new camera features a sharp 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens, (equivalent to 38-110mm on a 35mm camera). Despite its compact size, there are no compromises with optical clarity and speed of operation. The lens is robust, reliable, and delivers sharp pictures every time.     Fingertip control with our Mode Dial Ultimate control is at your fingertips with the F50fd’s vertical Mode Dial and streamlined `Graphical User Interface’. The intuitive icon based interface confirms shooting modes, scene positions, or control settings with brief explanations on the LCD screen. Easy-to-read icon and text description of the selected mode help you choose and confirm the optimum setting for best results. This takes much of the guesswork out of digital camera operation. With less to worry about, you'll have more fun with your picture taking!     High resolution LCD screen! The FinePix F50fd features a large high-resolution 2.7 inch, 230,000 pixel LCD screen, which is coated with Fujifilm's proprietary Wide View film. This minimises glare and reflections, and also enables consumers to view the LCD from any angle (even in sunny conditions), to enable shooting from waist level or above the head, or to make picture playback to a group so much easier.
