Fujifilm’s FinePix F100fd sits atop the company’s F-Series, a high-end point-and-shoot line into which DSLRs’ finer features are the first to trickle down. While you don’t need to be Annie Leibovitz to appreciate the 12-megapixel resolution, 12800 ISO, and new wide dynamic range and face-detection technologies, this also isn’t a camera for novices. The F100fd is a strong choice for amateurs who are fed up with their entry-level digicam’s crappy image quality and are ready to plunk down money for something more sophisticated. Good Looking But Hefty It’s impossible not to notice the F100fd’s large 28–140mm equivalent lens, which takes up half the 3.8-inch-wide chassis. At 6.4 ounces, the F100fd is not outrageously heavy, but in a high-end camera with a modest zoom factor we would hope for a slimmer, sexier shape. The body itself is pinched at the top, and balloons slightly at the side, creating a subtle pillow shape. On top, the small power button sits too close to the shutter, which has a rotating nub to control the zoom. The flash sits just beneath the shutter, making it easy to botch shots by putting your finger in the way.
