 And the winner is…. the FinePix F60fdWe’ve always known that the FinePix F60fd is a smart little shooter, but don’t just take our word for it… Pocket-lint.co.uk recently awarded the FinePix F60fd 'Best Digital Camera 2008' at their recent award ceremony. This prestigious event is judged by some of the UK’s top technology and gadget journalists who praised the FinePix F60fd for its winning combination of cutting-edge features, including new Scene Recognition AUTO, image quality and ease-of-use. To read the full review please click here Beautifully formedBeneath the F60fd’s stylish metal exterior there lies a combination of features and technologies that allow this model to produce images of breathtaking beauty. The FinePix F60fd is available in classic Matt Black.  As your eye sees it...  Low light - less noiseOptimum performanceThe secret to the FinePix F60fd's class-leading image quality is Fujifilm's unique Real Photo Technology (RPT). The guiding principles behind RPT are simple; to set the highest possible standards for overall image quality, to expand digital photography opportunities and to give you fewer wasted shots. RPT is an umbrella term for the combination of cutting edge technologies such as the Super CCD sensor, Real Photo Processor and Fujinon lens, all optimised to work together to produce the most natural, beautiful results in any conditions. We pull out all the stops to bring you the power to capture the moment exactly as your eye sees it.
Optical zoomThis new camera features a sharp 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens, (equivalent to 35-105mm on a 35mm camera). Despite its compact size, there are no compromises with optical clarity and speed of operation. The lens is robust, reliable, and delivers sharp pictures every time.
 Easy to useFingertip control with our Mode DialUltimate control is at your fingertips with the F60fd’s vertical Mode Dial and streamlined `Graphical User Interface’. The intuitive icon based interface confirms shooting modes, scene positions, or control settings with brief explanations on the LCD screen. Easy-to-read icon and text description of the selected mode help you choose and confirm the optimum setting for best results. This takes much of the guesswork out of digital camera operation. With less to worry about, you'll have more fun with your picture taking!
 Easy to viewHigh resolution LCD screenThe FinePix F60fd features a large high-resolution 3-inch, 230,000 pixel LCD screen, which is coated with Fujifilm's proprietary Wide View film. This minimises glare and reflections, and also enables consumers to view the LCD from any angle (even in sunny conditions), to enable shooting from waist level or above the head, or to make picture playback to a group so much easier.  Convenient xD/SD compatibilityThe FinePix F60fd features an xD/SD compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD Picture Card, SD or SDHC media to store and transfer your photos. This will give you the flexibility to buy the card you want, use cards from previous cameras, or choose the media that fits with your other desktop devices like laptops, PDAs or card readers.
 Internal memoryThe FinePix F60fd makes it possible for you to get that picture even if your memory card is full. The 25MB of internal memory built into this compact model ensures that you will never have to miss that special shot. Think of it as your internal insurance policy for photo opportunities. With that said, the main storage for images on the F60fd should be an additional xD card, which will allow you to accommodate almost as many images as you like.
 Fujifilms Face Detection  Detects faces at any angleFace Detection 3.0 – from any angleThe FinePix F60fd is equipped with Face Detection 3.0 technology, which goes one step further by recognising faces at more extreme angles. As with the original version of Face Detection, it can detect up to 10 faces in a scene in as little as 0.036 seconds, automatically correcting focus, exposure, and white balance, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. Face Detection 3.0 can register faces with up to 90 degree movement in either direction for profiles, and with rotations of up to 360 degrees.
 Conventional camera  Fujifilm's automatic red eye removalSay goodbye to red eye for goodOnce your image has been captured, the system instantly corrects red-eye and then saves both the original and the corrected image file automatically. The FinePix F60fd red eye removal system is not confused by lips or red coloured jewellery, as some other systems can be, as it works in tandem with Fujifilm's Face Detection system to identify eyes and nothing else. Letting the camera do this retouching is so much quicker and easier than struggling at home with a paintbrush on a PC!   Select SR AUTO and be sure to get your shotIn a first for Fujifilm cameras, the FinePix F60fd is equipped with Scene Recognition technology which cleverly detects a scene without the need of pre-selecting the mode on the camera. SR AUTO recognises Night, Landscape. Portrait and Macro scenes. Simply select SR AUTO and the camera automatically sets the appropriate shutter speed, exposure and white balance to ensure that you get the most of your photography; more stunning pictures with less hassle.
 Conventional camera  Fujifilm's Portrait EnhancerPortrait EnhancerThe FinePix F60fd features 'Portrait Enhancer Mode' designed to transform a snapshot into an exceptional portrait. In this mode the FinePix F60fd's powerful automatic retouching system gives skin tones a silky-smooth texture and removes blemishes such as spots and wrinkles. Once they've seen the beautiful skin tones produced by the Portrait Enhancer, the loved ones in your life will never again hide their faces whenever you get your camera out!
 Conventional camera  Fujifilm's Image StabilisationNEW Dual Image StabilisationAs well as offering class-leading high ISO performance for avoiding subject blur when shooting in low light, the FinePix F60fd also features CCD-shift image stabilisation for avoiding the effects of camera shake at longer shutter speeds. This combination offers a complete system for avoiding blur caused by hand shake or subject motion. Never before have compact cameras offered such a comprehensive solution for avoiding blurred results whilst retaining high-resolution photographic quality.
 Intelligent Flash  Natural lightMaking light work of photographyFor those occasions when flash is required, Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system sets the power output to achieve natural foreground illumination with balanced background exposure. Avoiding both the messy background blur of 'slow-sync' flash, and the stark contrast of conventional flash, Intelligent Flash results in visibly more pleasing, natural looking photos. For times when a decision about lighting could mean a missed photo opportunity, the FinePix F60fd's Natural Light plus Flash mode takes two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one without, then displays them side-by-side for instant comparison.  Aperture priority  Shutter Priority‘A’and ‘S’ modesFor the more advanced user the FinePix F60fd also features Aperture and Shutter Priority modes for total creative control. For those of you that are not familiar with these terms, ‘A’ Aperture-priority and ‘S’ Shutter-priority auto exposure modes let you explore your creativity. Selecting ‘A’ mode adds dimension to your photo by increasing or decreasing the depth of field, while ‘S’ mode allows you to maximise action shots by freezing motion or creating motion blur.
 Capture all the actionContinuous Shooting ModeThe F60fd allows you to shoot up to 12 frames in a burst* (at 5 frames per second), even if the subject is moving. This fantastic mode therefore gives you 5 times the chance of capturing that one special moment. *at 3MP or lower
 Movie CaptureWhen a still image isn't sufficient, the FinePix F60fd’s movie mode, at 30 frames per second, captures movie clips with sound that are limited in length only by the size of memory card used.
 'Smile'  Crop your images in cameraPlayback Features, Zoom Up and CroppingThanks to Fujifilms proprietary Super CCD technology delivering a stunning 12 megapixel resolution, you are able to crop and enlarge any part of your captured image without experiencing any loss of quality. Once you’ve captured your group portrait you can use the handy ‘Zoom Up’ feature, which allows you to detect faces in playback mode so that you can check them one by one and ensure that you have captured the image as you intended it. If you spy a priceless expression amongst your group portrait that stands out from the crowd, then simply select the built in ‘Cropping’ function, which will allow you to automatically crop and save the selected portrait in the camera. Micro ThumbnailsThe 3-inch LCD screen allows you to view your images comfortably. It displays your pictures in a number of alternative ways and enables you to navigate up to 100 thumbnail images in a 10 x 10 array. Further to this, a new sort by date system has been added so that you have even more control over how you store and sort your images.
Pocket-lint - October 2008Best Digital Camera, Vodafone Pocket-lint Gadget Awards Winner 2008 
Pocket-lint - October 2008"New to this model over the F50fd is the company's new Face Detection software (version 3.0) and a Scene Recognition feature that does its best to work out what you are shooting and it then automatically offers you the best mode for it. Crazy as it might sound, in our use this all works incredibly well with the scene modes jumping and jostling between each other as you move the camera around "your world". That Face Detection 3.0 tool, which can detect up to 10 faces in a scene in 0.036 seconds, is also very impressive... When it comes to image quality, the pictures produced are very good with a strong level of detail regardless of what shooting mode is selected." VERDICT: If you are looking for your camera to do virtually everything for you bar press the shutter button this is worth checking out. Hot Product - 9/10 
The Independent - October 2008"With face detection that can recognise a visage in profile as well as straight-on, and an above-average 12-megapixel resolution and 3-inch LCD display, the FinePix performs particularly well in low light. The camera is capable of taking two pictures, one with and one without flash, almost simultaneously." 
Evening Standard - October 2008 Digital Photography"This 12-megapixel compact comes with a 3in viewing screen so that you can view and share images on the spot, and offers image stabilisation, face detection technology, which includes in-camera red-eye correction, and Real Photo Technology, which is a grand way of saying that you get enhanced image quality." Killer feature: scene recognition, to ensure optimum settings for a given situation. 
Gizmodo - October 2008"This is a well made, good-looking camera that performs very well under most conditions and is a snap to get to grips with." 
CNET - October 2008"Low light performance has been the ace up Fuji's sleeve for a while, and the F60 doesn't disappoint in the dark... The Fujifilm FinePix F60fd looks great and so do the pictures. Capable automatic settings make this a true point-and-shoot, with clever face detection helping stand out from the crowd."
