The newest model in Fujifilm’s F-series includes all the bells and whistles from the older cameras and adds a few cool features too. The Fujifilm FinePix F40fd has face detection and high ISO sensitivity like its predecessors. It adds 8.3 megapixel resolution and accepts both xD-Picture and SD memory cards. The F40fd was announced in January 2007 and now sells for $299.

Picture Quality / Size Options (7.0)
The F40
fd is the first Fujifilm F-series camera to have more than 6.3 megapixels. It has 8.3 megapixels, in fact, on a relatively large 1/1.6-inch Super CCD HR sensor. The following image sizes are selectable from the "F" menu: 3296 x 2472, 3504 x 2336 (3:2), 2304 x 1728, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480.

Picture Effects Mode (7.0)
Also available in the "F" menu is the lackluster set of color modes available on other Fujifilm digital cameras. It includes Black & White, Chrome, and Standard options. Competitors include more effects ranging from red, green, and blue filters to swapping colors in recording and playback modes. On the FinePix F40fd, though, these few effects can only be used in the recording mode.
