Very good

7.2

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.2 out of 10
Reviewed by Philip Ryan
Review date: 6/8/07

The good: Very nice image quality at lower ISOs; effective face detection.

The bad: No optical or mechanical image stabilization; slightly sluggish performance; no aperture-priority or shutter-priority modes.

The bottom line: Fuji's FinePix F40fd is a nice point-and-shoot that produces decent images, though it's a tad slow and lacks image stabilization.

Product brief - Fujifilm FinePix F40fd

Hide

Description: The Fujifilm FinePix F40fd is an 8.3-megapixel, compact camera. Compared to other compact digital cameras on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $215.

Pros: Has an 8.3-megapixel resolution, which is somewhat higher than some similarly priced digital cameras. Also, this digital camera has a 0.9 in thickness. Weighing only 5.6 ounces without battery and media, this digital camera is rather light relative to its competitors.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Made for travel, since it won't take up a lot of space. A recommended use, based on key features, is framed photos for the home. The largest recommended print size, estimated from the camera's resolution, is 12x16 or larger.

Value: In general, this digital camera's features are in line with its price. However, you would usually pay about 20% more to get a compact camera with comparable resolution.

Suggestions: For more help in deciding if this is the best digital camera for you, visit the buying guide for digital cameras at CNET Reviews.
