6. Elegant And Robust

Spare Style

Compact and fairly thin, the Fujifilm FinePix F50fd is really not an unpleasant little camera to look at. Its fairly geometric design has a slight asymmetry that gives it a certain charm. The only fly in the ointment is its weight: the 176 grams are naturally the consequence of the materials used. The all-metal body is handsome, but unfortunately it’s fairly heavy.

Careful Finish

We greatly appreciated the compactness and uniformity of this camera. Each button, wheel, and housing seems to be an integral part of the unit, adding up to a robust whole. There’s really nothing to criticize about it from that point of view.

Package Contents And Our Verdict

With an internal memory of only 25 MB, we at least expected to find a memory card in the bundle: the lack of one is a real black mark for the manufacturer. The other basic accessories are all accounted for: a USB cable for transferring your photos to a computer, a charger for the removable battery, and finally a video cable for viewing your photos and video on your TV set. The included CD-ROM offers a driver and a photo management application - which unfortunately does only that and nothing more.
