Fujifilm FinePix F60fd

Features

The FinePix F60fd is a mixed bag when it comes to features. Apart from the standard modes - Auto, Manual, Scene, Aperture/Shutter priority and movie, you've got a few others like "Natural Light and With Flash" that are pretty useful. In this mode the camera clicks two pictures in quick succession, one with flash and one without. This is good for those who can't decide whether a particular shot needs to be lit via flash or not; you get the best of both worlds in a single click.

The camera features a 12 Megapixel CCD Super Sensor, 3x Optical Zoom (which is quite average), and ISO settings of up to 1600 at max resolution, 3200 at 6 MP and 6400 3 MP.

The gaping void in the feature list, is that there's no aperture value or shutter speed setting in manual mode, in spite of the user-manual boasting extensive manual mode functionality. The only control you get over exposure is via exposure value and ISO settings. The truly illogical part is that you're given control over either Aperture value and Shutterspeed settings only in Shutter priority and Aperture priority mode, so I can't understand why they decided to opt out of it in Manual mode. In other words, the manual mode here is basically a watered down version of what it should be, with many automatic overrides.

For what it's worth the camera does feature image stabilization at 3x zoom, and a handful of features such as face recognition and red-eye removal, to make the life of a casual photographer easy.
