+ This camera takes nice clear pictures easily. It's simple to use and compared to other cameras in a similar price range is superior in functions and quality. It's no wonder it has been highly commended by camera reviewers.

Andrea, Doncaster

+ Fantastic quality of photos, crystal clear images. Very easy to use - particularly like the double shot setting where one is in natural light followed by one with flash.Sports setting is brilliant, moving images we captured are pin point sharp. Very easy to switch from photo to video with use of the dial and excellent quality and sound. Really wide choice of settings for different subjects such as flower,beach, landscape etc. Can't rate this product enough, also very neat, sturdy and compact. loads of other brilliant features. Reccommend fuji anytime, also own a fuji SLR and we have never been disappointed!

- Doesn't have a very big zoom, however the images taken are so sharp that you can easily zoom in and crop once the photo is taken and the quality is not lost so in a sense you are doubling the zoom capacity

Clare, Taunton

+ Fantastic camera. Although there are lots of features, the camera is just so user friendly. The battery charged within 2 and a half hours and I was therefore able to use the camera really quickly and easily and I managed to make use of lots of the features without having to keep referring back to the instructions as the camera prompts you in many cases. The screen on the back is large and review what has been taken is easy in any light. Software probably the easiest I've ever used. Would and have recommended this camera. Have found this camera a pleasure to use.

- None found so far and have used it nearly every day.

+ Nice 'feel', good range of features, quick shutter response, large view window and clever face recognition technology

- Just doesn't take great pics, especially indoors: old Nikon definitely had better and sharper colour definition.

+ Bought for my sons 9th birthday - he loves using it and has already produced some great photos. It's small enough for him to manage when we go on days-out.
Image quality is very good.

- As with most compacts, it doesn't have a RAW setting but then it does allow him to learn the basics first!

Expert reviews for Fujifilm Finepix F60FD

PC Advisor expert review - by Paul Jasper

If a camera can detect faces in your shots, then why shouldn't it find flowers and mountains too? The 12Mp Fujifilm FinePix F60fd adds automatic scene recognition to the face-detection abilities of its predecessor, the Finepix F50fd.

This Fujifilm Finepix F60FD review continued on PC Advisor

reviewed 20 Nov 2008

Product Features

Camera Type	Compact
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs. Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
resolution (Megapixel)	12

Optical Zoom Ratio	3
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Screen Size in Inches	3
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Digital Zoom Ratio	8
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Face Recognition	Yes
A function for automatically detecting peoples faces and correctly adjusting the focus and exposure to take the best photo
Image Stabilisation	Yes
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
Colour	Black
The main colour of the product.
Memory Card Slot	Yes
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Media Format	XD Card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Media Format	SDHC Card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
Media Format	SD Card
This is the type of storage that your digital camera or camcorder uses to save images to. The main types of card media format: Compact Flash Micro SD MMC (Multi Media Card) SD Card (Secure Digital) SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)
PictBridge	No
An industry standard allowing images to be printed from camera to printer, without needing a computer. CIPA PictBridge Standard Website
Macro Mode	No
This mode allows close-up photograpy of small objects such as insects and flowers.
Video Recorder	Yes
Video recording functionality allows the capture of videos in mpeg or avi format which is great if you want to capture a whole scene, not just one moment.
Manual Focus	Yes
Almost all modern cameras have autofocus. Manual focus allows you to override the autofocus and set the distance yourself. This is especially useful if your camera is struggling to focus in a low-light or confusing scene.
Timer	Yes
Having a timer function is essential if you want to get into the shot yourself. Make sure your camera has this feature if you plan to go on holiday and capture photos of you and your friends or family having fun together.
Under Water	No
An under water feature means your camera is safe to dive with, usually between 3 and 5 metres. Most dSLR cameras will require expensive separate housing so consider investing in a waterproof digital compact first.
Dimensions (mm)	59.2x92.5x22.9
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Weight (g)	163
The weight of the product in grams.
Flash	Yes
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash. Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
Body Only	No
dSLR cameras have detachable lenses and are sold in a variety of combinations. This facet lets you know whether the package your are considering comes bundled with a lens or whether it is just the body of the camera.
Resolution (Pixels)	4000x3000
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
Shortest Shutter Speed	2000
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
Longest Shutter Speed	8
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured. Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results. Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
Max. Aperture Lens 1	f2.8-5.1
Measured in f-stops the aperture of a lens dictates the maximum amount of light captured. If you want to do low light photography look for something with a wide aperture like f2.8. The widest aperture is given as a range as it changes when your lens is zoomed in.
In-Built Memory (MB)	25

USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
