For the novices who’d want to do away with their entry-level cameras, the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd has enough advanced features to satisfy your cravings but not too much as to overwhelm. Easily noticeable is the large 28â€"140mm equivalent lens fitted in the 3.8-inch chassis. Pick one up and you’d find that it’s a bit heavy, weighing in at 6.4 ounces. The first in the F-series to benefit from a few DSLR features, this high-end point-and-shoot offer a 12-megapixel resolution and 12800 ISO. It features a wide dynamic range which allows you to capture highlights and shadow detail in backlit conditions. It also boasts of having Face Detection 3.0 that quickly and automatically detects faces even at extreme angles. The reviewer noted that image and video from the F100fd had vivid and accurate, even brilliant colors. Action shots looked crisp and sharp, unlike other point-and-shoots in the market. Low light performance is good, producing bright and clear images up to ISO 800. One downside is that the interface is quite confusing. Also, the F100fd is quite slow compared to other cameras in the same category. Nevertheless, if you’re after good and stronger pictures, The Fujifilm FinePix F100fd will surely deliver.
