Fujifilm FinePix S6500FD

Résumé : This camera is something that we have been trying out for a few weeks. The FinePix S6500fd is a compact camera masquerading as an SLR and by and large is does what you want it to. It is not really an SLR, it just looks like one. I know - you are ...

Conclusion : The camera is also capable of video recording (about 30fps) and audio recording (as well as voice memo recording)

Résumé : The Fuji Finepix S6500fd is one of the few super zoom cameras I have reviewed that appears to be able to avoid the dreaded purple fringing. If you have a slightly higher budget you will get more features including image stabilisation.

Points forts : Build quality

Points faibles : Small internal memory

Conclusion : The Fuji Finepix S6500fd is one of the few super zoom cameras I have reviewed that appears to be able to avoid the dreaded purple fringing. It does roughly everything you would expect it to do and I am also very impressed by the build quality.

Résumé : A bargain SLR-alike from Fujifilm has touched down on planet digicam - has it got the lens and features to see off the competition?

Points forts : Handles well. Massive 10x zoom. Great value

Points faibles : No image stabiliser. Patchy picture quality

Résumé : Fujifilm's FinePix S6500fd digital camera sports one key selling point: industry-first hardware-based face detection technology to enable the camera to recognise faces and optimise settings to get the best photograph in just 0.04 ...

Points forts : Hardware-based face detection ; high ISO sensitivity ; 10.7x optical zoom ; RAW support ; movie recording

Points faibles : Only 6MP ; fixed LCD ; no stabilisation

Conclusion : Excellent value camera for creative photographers on a budget

Récompense : Recommended!

Résumé : The Fujifilm Finepix S6500fd is an ultra-zoom digital camera with a 10.7x optical zoom lens that's equivalent to 28-300mm. The S6500fd features Face Detection, a new technology that ...

Conclusion : The Fujifilm Finepix S6500fd is a rather strange beast which ultimately doesn't beat either the ultra-zoom bridge-style camera competition, or the entry-level DSLRs, but still manages to be ...
