Fujifilm Finepix F40fd 8.3MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver) Reviews

Summary: I love this camera!
Comment: I purchased this camera as an upgrade from a Casio 5MP digital camera. The difference is amazing. The detail and crispness of the pictures is stunning, I can't believe what I've been missing!

I did a lot of research before buying this camera, went to lots of camera shops and talked to lots of people "in the know". Everyone agreed Fuji is the leader in digital cameras.

I love the multiple picture options, there are 2 specialized setting options, which is great for quickly flipping between settings. I also love the 'N' setting - the camera takes 2 pictures a 1/2 second apart, one with flash and one without. It's great for when you're uncertain if you should use a flash or not - you get both pictures and can decide later! I also love that there is a rechargeable battery. I don't like that you have to remove the battery to charge it (versus having a stand charger) - but that isn't a huge deal as the battery lasts a looong time between charges.

I'm not thrilled with the fuji photo loading software, and instead just copy and paste directly from the camera onto my harddrive. I don't like that you can't open the pictures from the camera drive into Windows Picture Manager (or maybe you can, and I just don't know how). Either way, that's not enough to even deduct a 1/2 star from my 5-star review. That is just how great this camera is.

Summary: It's continues to impress
Comment: This Fuji F40fd impresses me all the time with the quality of its pictures. I bought this camera because of its strength in low light. The lack of manual controls was a known concern, but 99% of the time, it is a non-issue. I have another camera (big and bulky) with those controls and a big zoom and better macro. But for general use, it doesn't take pics any better than this Fuji. And the Fuji wins sometimes. This F40fd can be had for a very good price and who knows how long they will be available. Look at the prices for the used F30fd and F31fd.

Summary: Good for Scuba
Comment: On the 4mp setting this camera works awesome in low light conditions, such as underwater. It's cheaper than its Canon equivalent and the underwater housing to go with it costs about $100 less than any Canon underwater housing too.

It's a very simple camera to use, just point and shoot. Not a lot of settings to it, it takes care of most of it for you. If you're a serious photographer, then this might be a turn off. If you just want to take pictures of vacations, special occasions, etc. like the rest of us, then this is the perfect solution.

FYI: My camera came with outdated firmware that only allowed 2 GB memory cards. The simple flash upgrade from Fuji film (Google it) took about 10 minutes and allowed me to use 4 GB memory cards afterwards.
