Pros: It looks pretty, but other than that, not much else. Cons: Everything else, this camera was such a waste of money. The Bottom Line: I would NEVER recommend this camera or Fuji for that matter. To have this camera on the market is an embarassment. from Shopping.com It's portable enough that I can capture all those random college moments. The color of the camera itself is much richer in person, and very cute. I also purchased the 2GB xD-Picture card from Fuji Type M which holds at least 1000 pictures. from Dell.com "The Z5fd has effective face detection technology and an i-Flash system that helps snap great portraits. " from Digitalcamerainfo.com The face- detection technology allows the camera to give more specific attention to the human face. A lot of companies are using this new technology now. But Fuji was among one of the first to use it in their cameras. The Fuji sensor in this camera also gives a more realistic skin tone compared to Canon or Sony. from Buydig.com The picture quality was very poor and all the pictures looked blotched. I was very disappointed and exchanged this camera for a Sony Cybershot. I am happy with the Sony but definately don't recommend this Fuji. from Circuitcity.com A great little product from Fuji. This camera is very small and intuitive to use. from Amazon.com Plus you're not paying out the nose for that higher pixel count which really doesn't help the quality of your photos. There is a newer version of this model (Z10), but I'm not a big fan of where they're taking it design-wise. I also have a Fuji F30. Obviously the image quality of that camera is better with its bounty of manual options - however the 'F' series isn't the greatest in terms of compactness. from Amazon.com I set it manually to 100 ISO and took an indoor shot. The center of the image was very sharp but the edges came out pretty soft and *noise is visible* at this lowest ISO setting; an important issue to note. I bought the Z5fd mainly for indoor shots. Outdoors, on a bright day, I have no doubt that the results will be excellent. from Amazon.com I own a Fuji S3000 big view finder, 6x zoom, takes the best pictures in the world BUT it was too big to carry at an outing all day long. Loving my Fuji, I decided to stick with what I know, so I purchased the Fuji Z5fd 6.3MP. from Amazon.com I wanted to like the Finepix Z5fd - sleek looks, nice interface - but the images it produces are awful. I am aware of the noise issues that all digital cameras have to a greater or lesser extent, but this camera produced only adequate images and all showed substantial artifacts and noise when viewed '100 %' in any image viewing software. from Amazon.com
