Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd

Connectivity / ExtrasNext: Page 9
ConclusionValue
The Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd is already on sale in most markets for $499. This seems to be a bargain for all the interesting technology included on this camera. It is almost silly that some ultra-slim digital cameras cost this much. I checked out the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 just a few days ago and it doesn’t have manual control or much at all compared to the S6000fd but comes in a 0.9-inch sexy housing and sells for the same $499 price!
Sure, the Sony is a bit overpriced but the Fujifilm may be slightly underpriced too. It has a 6.3-megapixel Super CCD, a 10.7x optical zoom lens, and face recognition technology that is fast and useful. At a time when the prices of low-end DSLRs are falling to $599 or so, the Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd is still a good price because it already has a lens.
Who It's For
Point-and-Shooters – These consumers will be intimidated by the number of buttons on the camera, but could certainly operate it in the Auto mode without a problem.
Budget Consumers – The S6000fd is a good price for all the great components and technology it packs. At $499, budget consumers come close to DSLR performance without having to purchase ten lenses and accessories.
Gadget Freaks – The face detection technology will definitely be the most interesting aspect of the camera to these folks. The camera can recognize a face as fast as .05 seconds and track it all while keeping it focused.
Manual Control Freaks – These consumers will be satisfied with the manual and priority modes along with the wide shutter speed, aperture, and ISO ranges. If you’re a control freak, this is your camera.
Pros/ Serious Hobbyists – The FinePix S6000fd could work as a backup camera or a camera that could perform similarly to a SLR and a bag of lenses. Pros will be impressed with the manual controls and blur-free pictures, but may not appreciate the 3-shot burst or the viewfinder resolution.
