I agree - the F50fd is on a level playing field with most compacts these days - I'd say none has the edge for low light work, although the Fuji can produce some natural-looking results with its flash for nearby subjects. Note Fuji has just announced the F100fd, coming in March...
Hi CanOfSpam, we may do printer reviews in the future, but are concentrating on cameras and lenses right now... there are people discussing and comparing printers on the Cameralabs forums though...
It depends on how the F50fd 'bins' its pixels. You may need to reduce the resolution a lot to see any measurable decrease in noise. I certainly wouldn't buy if you're counting on this...
Hi Adam, you're right. Sadly the market is driven by Megapixels, so unless a new sensor technology arrives, we're going to have some very noisy compacts in the future...
I feel it's a bit deceptive to say this camera doesn't perform as well as the F30 at higher ISO settings. If you lower the resolution of the F50fd to 6mp. The noise level is virtualy identical to the F30 at 800, 1600 & 3200 ISO.
Thanks! Don't forget to also have a look at the full reviews at the Cameralabs website though - there's lots of sample images and comparisons...

these videos are huge time savers. Excellent review
Still got mine from brand new
I havne't tested the F40fd, so can't comment, but I do hope to test the F100fd in the future...
I mentioned this in my full review of the F50fd at cameralabs . com.

But why buy a 12 Megapixel camera if you're not going to use it at 12? I'd also be interested in seeing your results...

found this in 2023 😀
Me too. Interested in getting some old class cameras for some "lo fi" fun.
I have this camera , it is comfortable and nice >>
Can you zoom while recording?
Can I stream with this camera?
Am I still able to buy these?
Try eBay
