Fuji FinePix Z5fd

Fujifilm's Z5fd point-and-shoot offers speedy shooting and automatic features that increase your chances of getting the shot.

Useful advanced automatic features. Responsive operation. Sturdy build.

Noticeable artifacts in photos. Limited manual adjustments. Some frequently used functions aren't quickly accessible.

Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd review: Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd

Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd

Attractive design; decent photos shot at high ISO sensitivity levels.

Flat, hard-to-feel buttons; lens too close to camera edge; doesn't zoom or refocus in movie mode.

It's thin, pretty, and reasonably fast, but exposure problems make the Fujifilm Z5fd hard to recommend to its budget snapshooter audience.

Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd Digital Camera - Review - The Imaging Resource!

Featuring a 6.3 megapixel Super CCD HR imager in place of the 5.1 megapixel sensor used in the previous Z3 model, the Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd retains the same Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens and much the same styling as its predecessor

Compact size, elegant design ; Sliding lens cover powers on the camera without looking for a Power button ; Sharp LCD, visible in sunlight ; Superior face detection technology focuses fast ; Face detection works in Playback to zoom into faces ; Natural...

Hard to get to the EV control ; No widescreen aspect ratio ; No zoom in Movie mode ; Anti-blur mode has no optical image stabilization ; Detail is disappointing ; Strong chromatic aberration at wide angle ; Indoor shots are dim, requiring high levels...

Another significant change in the Fuji FinePix Z5fd is the addition of the company's Face Detection function, first seen in the FinePix S6000fd model. Achieved with a dedicated LSI chip in the camera, the feature can detect up to 10 faces in the photo...

The Z5fd is a good balance of size, style and function and its video capture is very impressive for a compact digital camera.

Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd review

A dainty camera that takes good shots, but zooming is poor

Slim ; Good picture quality ; Simple controls ; Great LCD Resolution

Slow to start up ; Raised LCD coating can get scratched

A great companion for a Friday night spent in dimly lit places! Don't expect much zooming

Fuji FinePix Z5fd digital camera

The Fuji FinePix Z5fd is a sleek slice of metal that has a slide-open front plate that also turns the camera on and off and protects the lens and flash when shut. The Z5 logo lights up when activated as well and this adds an extra sparkle to an already...

Great build and very compact design, lightweight, fast operation, good image quality, simple to use

No optical viewfinder, Oversaturated "F-Chrome" setting images, noisy images at ISO 400

The Fuji Z5fd provides the sort of image quality that other digital compacts with higher resolution sensors can only dream of.

Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd

FujiFilm's Z5fd is a good-quality, 6.3-megapixel digital compact withsome caveats. Its main asset is its super-slim size, which you hardlynotice in your pocket. Some features have been lost to make the camera

Slim, Good picture quality, Simple controls, Great LCD Resolution

Slow to start up, Raised LCD coating can get scratched

A great companion for a Friday night spent in dimly lit places! Don't expect much zooming
