Fuji Finepix S600fd Review

Just in time for Christmas the Fujifilm S600fd has just hit the store shelves.  Noted features are the 6.4mp, 1/1.7” Super CCD sensor used to wide acclaim in the F30 and F31fd and offering ‘full resolution’ shooting at up to ISO 3200.  It also has a new hardware based face detection system and a useful 28-300mm zoom range. 


This all-inclusive suite packs photographic tools, raw mode, electronic viewfinder, 2.5" screen and VGA movie mode - all in a package that costs less than half what you'd pay for a budget SLR with a similar lens - and weighs less too.  Other features to note are Real photo process II; fixed 10.7x (28-300mm equivalent) optical zoom lens with twist barrel control; intelligent flash; manual, shutter and aperture-priority and program exposure modes; jpeg and raw file formats; high speed shooting mode with a shutter lag of just 0.035 seconds; high resolution 2.5 inch LCD screen; TV-quality VGA movie recording of 30 frames per second with sound; and PictBridge™ compatible for direct printing without a PC, all for $400 US or £$300 UK.
