An affordable snapshooters' digicam that includes face detection AF and high ISO shooting modes.Fujifilm's FinePix F40fd is the top model in the F series of digicams and one of the first to support both SD and xD memory cards. Featuring an 8-megapixel image sensor, it benefits from the sixth generation of the company's Super CCD HR technology and offers ISO settings up to 2000 in two shooting modes: Picture Stabilisation and Natural Light. The 'fd' tag refers to the "Face Detection" focus and exposure control, which first appeared on the FinePix S6500fd.

A strong compact camera from Fujifilm, the high levels of chromatic aberration is the only issue detracting from the F40fd's exceptional pictures. Unfortunately there are a few minor issues in other areas that stop this from being a truly incredible camera.

Fujifilm FinePix F40fd

Pre-CES 2007: Fujifilm has announced a new addition to the growing FinePix 'F' range. The F40fd offers an increased pixel count (8.3 MP) and (perhaps because of this) a slightly lower ISO 2000 maximum sensitivity, and Fuji's new Face Detection system. Interestingly the F40fd has dual memory card slots (xD and SD), but lacks the F30's Aperture/Shutter priority modes.

Fujifilm's FinePix F40fd features face detection, dual memory card compatibility and it promises good-quality images at high ISO ratings, meaning you should get better shots in low light -- not a bad offering for a little compact that costs just £150
