    Back when everyone was having a go at Fujifilm for exaggerating the resolution of its SuperCCD sensors by using image interpolation, I used to get a lot of press releases and even nice little booklets from them, explaining in great detail how the total megapixel count of a camera's sensor was of secondary importance to other factors such as lens quality, the size and arrangement of the individual photocells on the sensor and the quality of the image processor. The thi... Read more

    This is an impressive camera. Small enough to fit into a pocket it can take a decent photo in most situations. It is one of the best lowlight compact cameras around. It also has a few extra features than a typical point and shoot camera. Recommended. Read more

    At almost £70 less expensive than most of its rivals here – and £111 less than Canon’s Ixus 970 IS – the FinePix F50fd seems like a total bargain. Read more

    I've been a longtime user of Fujifilm cameras and this was an upgrade after I gave the previous one to my wife. It combines point and shoot on the Auto setting plus all the other possibilities that an SLR might offer. Regarding picture quality: at first I worried that there was a focusing error because in some images the extreme right-hand side of the frame tended to blur slightly but I am relieved that this was due to camera shake (the camera is sensitive to this) ra...

    I thought having reviewed some of the DSLR cameras I own or use it was about time I spoke a little about one of my favourite point and shoot digital cameras . There are so many digital cameras to choose from these days you would be forgiven for thinking they are probably much alike. With the more basic range of digitals this may well be true but if you are looking for a point and shoot that will offer you top quality pictures at high resolution then there is plenty sh...
