Super CCD VI with Real Photo Technology: ISO 3200!
This camera's sensor and processor combination has already made waves in the photographic industry. Leading photo website dpreview.com commented: "Fuji has managed, with this sensor and processor combination, closer than ever before to 'SLR-like' output from a compact camera". Rather than focus on increasing the number of pixels, the emphasis with the S6500fd has been placed on improving image detail, tonal quality and reducing noise. What is more, the breakthrough sensitivity setting of ISO 3200 means that you will not be putting your camera back in its bag when the light levels drop. Never mind the pixels. Feel the picture quality.

Face Detection Technology
Have you ever cursed your camera for focusing on something completely irrelevant when you are taking pictures of your nearest and dearest? This is because a conventional camera has no idea of what you are taking a picture of – it can't tell the difference between a vase of flowers and your Aunt Betty. Fujifilm has developed a proprietary face detection technology that automatically recognises faces in the frame, ensuring that the camera knows to focus on the people, and also to ensure that they are exposed properly. What makes this system so impressive is its speed – it reacts to movement almost as quickly as the human eye, and locks on to faces in a mere 0.04 seconds. Using a special processor-based algorithm that recognises the combination of two eyes and a mouth, the S6500fd can detect faces even when held in the vertical portrait orientation. Not only does the system look impressive as it effortlessly tracks faces on the live LCD, but it also gives you the most important thing of all – perfect pictures.
Movie Mode
Anyone who doesn't think that much of movie modes on digital cameras has not tried this one. Not only does it offer the top-level 30 fps VGA benchmark, but you can also use the zoom lens during recording, which is a special enhancement of this feature. With the massive onboard media storage, the S6500fd offers extended movie potential, and is a valuable backup to the camera's still image capability.
