Take Face Detection with you and bring home every smile!

The Finepix F45fd's most advanced yet easy to use function is Fujifilm Face Detection Technology, a new feature designed to significantly improve your picture taking by identifying human subjects' faces in the frame (up to 10 faces) and in real time, determining the optimal focus and exposure settings for the absolute best results possible in any shooting conditions. Behind Fujifilm's Face Detection technology is a newly developed LSI chip combined with patented software that allows the FinePix F45fd digital still camera to reach a level of performance in digital photography never before possible.

The Finepix F45fd also showcases 8.3 MegaPixel Super CCD-HR quality, a 3.0x Optical Zoom and ultra-fast processing speeds so you never miss a photo opportunity. The large 2.5 LCD makes it easy to playback and share your special moments with family and friends. And, with the Li-ion battery power, your camera is always ready to go.

The small but mighty FinePix F45fd incorporates FujiFilms proprietary technological advances such as Real Photo Technology, Picture Stabilization and the newly introduced Intelligent Flash (i-Flash) system, raising the bar once again for capturing blur-less pictures with every nuance of light and vivid, rich color. Even in low light situations, you get all the picture perfect details.

The FinePix F45fd utilizes an ultra-high sensitivity of up to ISO 2000 at full resolution, with incredibly high signal to noise ratio, and faster shutter and operational speeds, to deliver virtually blur free images where conventional digital cameras cannot.

With a combination of the high quality 8.3 MP Super CCD sensor, Face Detection technology, High ISO of up to 2000, and all the other great Fujifilm Finepix exclusive features and technologies, the Finepix F45fd will definitely capture all your pictures with ease and precision.

"Here's the issue. The Fuji F30/31 were awesome cameras for low light, high ISO performance. Fuji tried to continue that into the F40/F45 (both are identical cameras, the latter being exclusive through Ritz). The images, even at the lower ISO's have a texturing due to the heavy noise reduction being applied. Kind of a "painting" effect, and hazy edges. I'm hoping they put out a firmware upgrade to address this. To make this worse, in full "Auto", the camera will default to a high ISO. This really gives an image that leaves much to be desired, with, again, too much noise reduction. However, viewed small, they don't look too bad. Just don't expect to crop the picture much. You'll need the 8 megapixels to print that 4x6. Lots of things to like about the camera, but it's image quality that they get bought for."

good camera for the price

    Pros

  • Bright LCD
  • Short Lag Time

    Cons

  • Noise reduction always on

"i bought the F45fd to replace my aging canon S410. there was a rebate and a free printer, which made this a great bargain.



overall, i'm happy with the camera. it's light years beyond the S410, and good enough for casual use.



pros: the face detection works nicely. AF is faster than my S410 (not as fast as a DSLR). colors and sharpness are good. high ISO is much cleaner than the S410, but again not as good as a DSLR.



cons: noise reduction is ALWAYS on and pictures have that look you get from heavy-handed NR software."
