Product Description
The FinePix F40fd features stunning, slim-line design, 8.3 megapixel high-performance Fujifilm Super CCD sensor, 3x optical zoom lens and an easy-to-view 2.5-inch LCD monitor. The FinePix F40fd also features low-light performance of ISO 2000 at full resolution and Fujifilm's unique Intelligent Flash system, which enables users to capture natural looking images without the 'washed out' effect that can be the result of traditional on-camera flash.Fujifilm's hardware-based Face Detection technology captures up to ten faces in a frame in as little as 0.05 seconds, optimizing focus and exposure to take the best portrait shots. Face Detection sets imagination free to compose photos without the need to manually set the camera to get the best photo; a simple push of the shutter button is all that is required. In playback mode, Face Detection can be used to maintain faces as the key focus of a photo when cropping or zooming in.

 Great Choice January 3, 2009
Chandler (Georgia)
I have taken shots outdoor as well as indoor with this camera. The picture quality often compares that from my DSLR when I am shooting outdoors. The colors are saturated and edges are sharp.
I also think that this camera gives the best quality for indoor shots from a P&S. You can safely shoot at ISO 800 and with a little photoshop noise reduction, the pictures are perfectly usable.
One of the best low light/high ISO compact cameras available!!! December 20, 2008

I got this camera because of 1) the low light/high ISO capabilities 2) I couldn't afford to get the F31FD or F30, they are rare to find and go for +$300. I found this gem on ebay for $109!!! The pictures come out nice and clean in low light, up to ISO 800. At ISO 1600 & 2000 they are still viewable but with noise, but my tests shots were in very dim light conditions. In normal light conditions the images are great! I can only imagine the image quality for the F31FD/F30 since they are supposed to be better. The image stablization is not necessary if you have a camera like this that shoots with proper ISO & shutter speed. Camera responds fast and easy to use. I highly recommend it if you can find it. Great for social gatherings indoors or outdoors. I have owned/tried a few of the newer compacts, but they don't compare to the low light/high ISO capabilities (w/o flash) of this camera!
Excellent pocket camera, but no manual mode December 16, 2008
R. Sampathkumar (Rochester, MN)
I bought this camera last fall, which makes this a late review. However, this is an excellent camera featuring a great sensor from Fuji - a compact Super CCD sensor with hexagonal pixels, which improves its performance in low light (high ISO levels). This little camera can produce decent images at ISO800 and somewhat passable images at ISO1600. For last year (which is a pretty long ago in the digital camera market), this is an excellent camera. If you want a pocket camera that has a better lens-sensor combination, you should try the new Panasonic DMC LX-3, or if you have more money, a DSLR. This camera doesn't have full manual controls (exposure, flash and aperture compensations) but offers a few manual control features. Has a limited zoom range, but 3x has become the standard for most cameras this size. It was a good buy for me and takes great pictures without a hassle. However, you may find far better cameras for the same price today, from Fuji (F50/F60fd) and Canon's SD series.
Fuji F40fd is easy to use. November 27, 2008

I gave the camera to my wife for a pre-Christmas gift. She is in love with the camera. She is not mechanical and the camera is easy for her to use. The best gifts are the ones that are used!
Great Camera for the Price!! November 12, 2008

At first I was very unhappy with this camera taking outdoor pictures due to graininess. After complaining to my friend about this he looked at the camera and changed the setting to higher megapixels!! This fixed the problem completely! So to those with problems with the camera go into settings and make sure you are using all your megapixels because the default on mine was only on 4!
I love the up close flower setting. I use it all the time! The details captured by this camera are absolutely amazing. I carry this camera in my purse everywhere I go. This camera also takes excellent pictures in dark settings just make sure you have it on forced flash. You cannot beat this camera for the price. Highly recommended!
