What I want the F50fd to accomplish, alas it will not :-(
- View finder
helps to take pics in sunny places (can't see the silly LCD some times)
also you can take more pics if you are low on battery (switch off LCD)
- 7+ optical zoom (Ricoh R6 does this)
- ISO & image quality as good or better than the F31fd (not less)
- Features of F31fd, manual configurations(Aperture priority,Shutter priority)
- Aspect Ratio's: 4:3 3:2 16:9 (Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3)
- Don't care about the mega pixels war 7MP is good enough (I don't fall for mkt'ing hype) ... I want quality quality quality.
- Raw images would be nice, but I'll do with jpeg.
- Micro SDHC capable.
- Yes I'd pay ~£400 for this.

Again all these I've seen in alt. digital compact camera's ... albeit none have 'em all!!!
And no I want a compact digital camera to do these 'cos of travel is easier to carry. I'm not a pro, just a enthusiast... so I don't need the mega zoom, tripod, raw image ...etc.

Fuji has resisted the megapixel race for a long time. Maybe they actually HAVE developed a chip that can handle the extra pixels, unlike their competition. Come september, we'll know for sure.]]>Jul 26th 2007 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/fujifilms-finepix-f50fd-12-megapixel-compact-powerhouse-with-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/fujifilms-finepix-f50fd-12-megapixel-compact-powerhouse-with-ir/
I'm really happy to see that Fuji is continuing to make new camera's that appeal to users who want to shoot more creatively using available light...I'm an old rangefinder fan myself ;) I hope the F50fd continues with it's excellent line of shooters.

If anyone is into shooting film, with fast lens in low light, check out Fuji's Klasse and Natura models ;) Excellent cameras]]>Jul 26th 2007 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/fujifilms-finepix-f50fd-12-megapixel-compact-powerhouse-with-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/fujifilms-finepix-f50fd-12-megapixel-compact-powerhouse-with-ir/Sep 5th 2007 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/fujifilms-finepix-f50fd-12-megapixel-compact-powerhouse-with-ir/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/fujifilms-finepix-f50fd-12-megapixel-compact-powerhouse-with-ir/Sep 17th 2007 1:49PM
