David Pogue of the New York Times writes: For the last several years, Fuji has been spending big R.& D. dollars on nailing the low-light problem. "If we can put a man on the moon," they evidently muttered, "surely we can design a pocket camera that takes nighttime and indoor photos without grain, blur or flash." This camera is it. The 12-megapixel photos are delightful; indoors, outdoors, with the flash or without. Even those poolside palm trees came out sharp and clear. One probable reason is that the F50fd’s sensor is more than 50 percent bigger than those on most of the other cameras: 0.625 inch diagonal, versus 0.4. Now that's a statistic -- not megapixels -- that matters in a camera. More good news: the F50fd accepts standard SD cards in addition to the proprietary, expensive XD memory cards that Fuji has been pushing for years.
