“The Fujifilm FinePix F40fd is a nice point-and-shoot camera. Most casual snapshooters will likely be pleased with the images they get from this model… Image quality is very good, with accurate-looking colours. The camera’s automatic white balance does a nice job of neutralising colours when shooting under fluorescent lighting or natural daylight.”

Think Camera - April 2007
"The Fujifilm F40fd is a fabulous little camera. It is 8.3MP, enough pixels for an enormous print, and it's the first Fujifilm compact to take both xD cards and SDs. It copes exceptionally well with high contrast situations such as bright sunshine. The Fujifilm F40fd is a joy to use and never disappoints."
