Fujifilm FinePix F60fd

If you like your ultra compacts small, sturdy and light, we've got a nifty little camera that's right up your alley. I'm talking about the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd - Fujifilm's ultra compact that's both tiny (92.5 x 59.2 x 22.9 mm) and weighing in at just 155 grams, pretty light as well.

Build

The body is composed of a brush metal finish plastic frame with a few metallic parts, giving it an overall slick yet industrial look. While its rectangular body isn't the most ergonomic of the lot, its small size fits perfectly in any hand. The texture and curvature of both the front and back don't help grip the camera too well, but then again the small frame saves the day by allowing you to wield it easily.

The trigger's on the top side with a ring around it to zoom in and out, besides which sits a flat power button that's placed so that the device doesn't power up by mistake while in your pocket. On the right side of the trigger rests the image stabilization button that allows you to turn this feature on and off. The facing side of the camera has a dial on the upper half that lets you pick your mode, while the 4-way D-pad below it allows you to navigate the internal menu. In the middle of the D-pad nests the menu button that you'll be using frequently in almost all modes.

Overall, while the build of the F60fd doesn't make it feel or look grand, it is decent enough to get by and has all the physical traits of a good ultra compact.
