Fujifilm FinePix F100fd First Thoughts

By J. Keenan | 4/22/2008

When the F50fd got a healthy boost in sensor resolution on the same-sized sensor, noise performance slipped a bit, at least by Fuji standards. Now the F50fd has been joined by the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd, and the question on the minds of many Fuji fans is whether the new model - with a current-generation sensor and new processor - will restore the FinePix line to its former prominence as the undisputed low-light leader.

Fujifilm launches FinePix S8100fd ultra-zoom

By David Rasnake | 1/24/2008

The third release in Fujifilm's trifecta of new ultra-zooms, the FinePix S8100fd's main attraction is its 18x zoom with wide-angle shooting capability. Combining full manual and advanced automatic features, Fuji promotes the S8100fd as a DSLR substitute, and with a range that covers an equivalent 27 to 486 mm, we're inclined to see the cost advantages (have you priced the three DSLR lenses you'd need to cover this kind of distance?), at least, of this proposition.
