new fujifilm F50fd

new fujifilm F50fd becomes an option as now fujifilm supports SD cards (as well as the useless xD ones).

F50fd has the fuji finepix super CCD-HR sensor technology that has by far the best high ISO performance in compact cameras. However f50fd has now 12mp resolution, twice that of the previous model, finepix F31fd so it is not clear if it still has the same performace.


some interesting features:

• fujifilm super CCD-HR sensor, high ISO low light performance (although reviews are not available yet to see if the CCD technology still works for 12 megapixels
• full manual control, aperture and shutter priority
• supports reasonable (SD) cards as well as useless ones
• 2.7" lcd screen
• good battery life (250 shots)
• image stabilization (ccd shift)
• about 300 USD
