Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd

Connectivity / ExtrasPicture Quality / Size Options
The Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd has a 6.3-megapixel, 1/2.5-inch Super CCD HR image sensor that can snap pictures at several resolutions. The "F" shooting menu shows a Quality option with these: 6MF, 6MN, 3:2, 3M, 2M, and 03M. This translates to resolutions of 2848 x 2136, 3024 x 2016(3:2), 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480. The top resolution comes with Fine and Normal compressions, but the rest are normally compressed. In the Quality portion of the menu, the camera displayed how many pictures were left on the memory with each of the size settings. This information is useful to users who need to take a certain number of pictures. In the playback mode, pictures can be resized with the Trimming option and with the Trimming for Blog option. The first choice can resize a picture to any resolution below its size. The latter choice resizes to a fixed 640 x 480 pixels, and then uses the IrSimple technology to send pictures wirelessly to computers.
Picture Effects Mode
In the "F" recording menu, the Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd has several very basic picture effects: Black & White, Chrome, and Standard. These are a far cry from the competition. Casio’s new cameras can add color filters, soften the background, and highlight colors in the middle of a black-and-white picture. HP cameras can slim people down. Olympus has dozens of frames that can be added to pictures. Canon has its My Colors mode that adds and swaps colors. So relatively speaking, the Fuji Z5fd is behind.
