Winner of a 2007 Popular Science ‘Best of What’s New Award,’ FinePix F50fd to Remain in Fujifilm Digital Camera Line Up

“We were excited and proud to receive this honor from Popular Science,” said Bill Drysdale, vice president and general manager, Electronic Imaging Products, FUJIFILM, U.S.A. “As Fujifilm continues to push the technology envelope with the latest in the award winning F-Series lineup, we are delighted to be able to continue to provide consumers with a powerful compact digital camera that makes it easier than ever for any level photographer to get professional looking photographs.”

Singled out in the ‘Gadget’ category as “the first camera that can detect faces — to optimize focus, exposure and color — even if people are turned to the side or looking up or down,” the FinePix F50fd was the first in Fujifilm’s digital camera stable to debut the company’s proprietary Face Detection 2.0. This includes a new Automatic Red-Eye Removal feature that automatically corrects red-eye directly after the shot is taken and then saves both the original and the corrected image file. The FinePix F50fd combines these features, along with Dual Image Stabilization and ISO settings of up to 6400, to form a camera that makes “spontaneous shots look picture-perfect,” according to Popular Science.

Following a long line of award winning F-Series models, the FinePix F50fd, like the FinePix F31fd and F40fd before it, offers consumers a super-compact digital camera that takes beautiful shots with the most advanced features and technology available, so that missing great shots is not an option.
