Fujifilm FinePix F60fd

Performance

Off to a bad start - the color reproduction of the F60fd is bearable but borders on inaccuracy; the camera struggled when it came to shades of green, and most colors were a little washed out rather than vibrant. The auto white balance is decent though, and didn't give us anything to complain about.

Image quality on the other hand is pretty detailed even at full resolution, but in low light conditions it suffers just a little.

The digital macro mode again, is nothing to write home about. It performs is just about average, but it suffers due to the other flaws in the camera.

The flaws I'm talking about are related to bad ISO calculations when the ISO mode is set to auto. The camera picked ISO 800 for almost every shot in Auto, which was overkill for many of the decently lit pictures since it left numerable artifacts and cringe-worthy overexposed areas. That said, even the sensitivity of the sensor in higher ISO settings ranges from bearable to horrendous, making you see how they've added ISO 6400 just to bolster the spec sheet.

To make matters worse, the camera features one of the worst interfaces I've seen in any ultra compact, making it a pain to navigate to many of the features that are inadvertently hidden.
