Fuji FinePix F60fd

Digital Camera Review

1.9 For a $299 camera, the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd has some intriguing features, including a 12-megapixel sensor, 3-inch LCD, a nicely constructed metal body and aperture- and shutter-priority shooting modes for enhanced exposure control.

To see how advanced camera capabilities and real-world performance balance out, read the complete review.
