Fujifilm FinePix F100fd
12.0 megapixels | 2.7" screen | 28 – 140 mm (5×)
<p>Successor - in spirit at least - to the classic FinePix F30/F31fd, the F100fd offers class-leading low light image quality (though the margin is closing) and overall produces some of the best results of any compact camera - whatever the shooting conditions. This, plus the useful 28-140mm equiv. (5x) zoom range and responsive operation, add up to such an appealing package that we're prepared to overlook the dated design, horrible user interface and lack of manual controls. The F100fd has since been joined at the top of the FinePix range by the F200EXR, which uses Fujifilm's next generation EXR sensor technology. (April 2009)</p>

The Fuji FinePix F100fd certainly has its work cut out for it. Like the F50fd before it, it will be inevitably compared to what most people feel is the best low light compact cameras of all time, the FinePix F30 and F31fd. Unfortunately, Fuji gave in to the Megapixel race on the FinePix F100fd,...
The Fuji FinePix F100fd certainly has its work cut out for it. Like the F50fd before it, it will be inevitably compared to what most people feel is the best low light compact cameras of all time, the FinePix F30 and F31fd. Unfortunately, Fuji gave in to the Megapixel race on the FinePix F100fd, which pretty much did away with the high sensitivity advantage that made earlier models such a success. The F100fd performs slightly better than other compact cameras, up to a point (ISO 800), but above that, images become a noisy mess. The camera is marred by other flaws as well, including a slow lens, a sluggish startup time, and poor battery life. The FinePix F100fd certainly isn't a bad camera -- it's just an average one -- which is a disappointment, considering its heritage.
