Pocket-lint - October 2008
"New to this model over the F50fd is the company's new Face Detection software (version 3.0) and a Scene Recognition feature that does its best to work out what you are shooting and it then automatically offers you the best mode for it.
Crazy as it might sound, in our use this all works incredibly well with the scene modes jumping and jostling between each other as you move the camera around "your world".
That Face Detection 3.0 tool, which can detect up to 10 faces in a scene in 0.036 seconds, is also very impressive...
When it comes to image quality, the pictures produced are very good with a strong level of detail regardless of what shooting mode is selected."
VERDICT: If you are looking for your camera to do virtually everything for you bar press the shutter button this is worth checking out.
Hot Product - 9/10
The Independent - October 2008
"With face detection that can recognise a visage in profile as well as straight-on, and an above-average 12-megapixel resolution and 3-inch LCD display, the FinePix performs particularly well in low light. The camera is capable of taking two pictures, one with and one without flash, almost simultaneously."
Evening Standard - October 2008
Digital Photography
"This 12-megapixel compact comes with a 3in viewing screen so that you can view and share images on the spot, and offers image stabilisation, face detection technology, which includes in-camera red-eye correction, and Real Photo Technology, which is a grand way of saying that you get enhanced image quality."
Killer feature: scene recognition, to ensure optimum settings for a given situation.
Gizmodo - October 2008
"This is a well made, good-looking camera that performs very well under most conditions and is a snap to get to grips with."
CNET - October 2008
"Low light performance has been the ace up Fuji's sleeve for a while, and the F60 doesn't disappoint in the dark... The Fujifilm FinePix F60fd looks great and so do the pictures. Capable automatic settings make this a true point-and-shoot, with clever face detection helping stand out from the crowd."
Digital Camera Magazine - November 2008
"The slim, stylish FinePix F60fd takes beautifully sharp images with lovely colour rendition. Portraits are particularly flattering thanks to the Portrait Enhancer feature, which retouches blemishes. Other features include Continuous Shooting, Face Detection and Intelligent Flash Technology, which mixes ambient and natural flash light for a natural look."
T3 - Christmas 2008
"From its sensuous, brushed metal finish, to its exceptionally sharp, three-inch screen, the F60fd has us cooing like imbeciles. We have good reason for this outburst; the face detection mode is top-notch, colour is natural and pictures are well turned out."
4/5 stars
Daily Star - November 2008
"...boasts a 3in LCD screen, advance face detection and stunning 12-megapixel resolution. There's also a movie mode with audio, ideal for uploading video to social networking sites."
Trusted Reviews - December 2008
The F60fd is a well made, attractive-looking camera with excellent handling...It has phenomenal low-light focusing ability..."
The Independent - December 2008
"If you want to take decent pictures but don't want to be weighed down by a big SLR camera, the F60fd is a powerful compact. It has 12-megapixel resolution and includes image stabilisation features... Face Detection means the subjects of your pictures have sharp focus on their eyes and noses. There are lots features and this snapper is easy and reliable."
PhotographyBLOG - December 2008
"...we can highly recommend it as an intuitive, attractive, competitively priced pocket camera that takes pictures that are every bit the equal of its more expensive rivals."
Gadget Speak - December 2008
"This is a digital camera that is easily small enough to fit in a pocket or purse but this does not mean it is lacking in features. It is a 12MP offering that has scene recognition, face detection and auto red eye removal to mention just three."
Mix Mag - January 2009
"Fujifilm's compacts are kings of low light. Where most would struggle with noise and grain, the F60fd combines serious sensitivity with processing that keeps it sharp and natural. Its 12MP snaps and super-quick face detection mean it's great in daylight, too."
