The Fuji F50fd is the flagship camera of Fuji’s F-x0 series of ultracompact, 3x zoom point and shoot cameras utilizing the low-noise SuperCCD sensor. The F50fd utilizes the latest 7th-generation version of the SuperCCD, but because the F50fd packs in so many pixels into a sensor of roughly the same size (12 megapixels, compared to 6 megapixels found on most 6th-generation SuperCCD sensors), each pixel on the F50fd receives less light and as a result the the F50fd’s high ISO performance is considerably worse than Fuji’s other SuperCCD cameras, although still better than the average camera which uses a non-SuperCCD sensor.

To make up for this, the F50fd is the only SuperCCD camera which implements an image stabilization system, helping the camera reduce the effects of camera shake blur. As discussed above, this feature doesn’t help freeze blur caused by moving subjects, however.

The F50fd’s flash is embedded into the camera body, so using flash results in the typical harsh, flat lighting, and should generally be avoided.

The Fuji F40fd is the budget model of Fuji’s F-x0 series of ultracompact point and shoots. The F40fd utilizes a 6th-generation SuperCCD sensor with 8 megapixels, which results in slightly worse high ISO performance than the 6 megapixel sensor found on the S6000fd, but is still a solid high-ISO performer. The F40fd lacks an image stabilization system, somewhat negating its high ISO low-light capabilities. The F40fd’s flash is embedded into the camera body, so using flash results in the typical harsh, flat lighting, and should generally be avoided.
