Imaging Resource wrote a review on the
Fujifilm Finepix Z5fd and said: "I had fun shooting with the
Fuji Z5fd. It was easy to bring along and quick to get in on the
action. The pictures I brought home were very good, although
they do exhibit the same ultracompact detail I always find a
little disappointing."

Fujifilm Finepix Z5fd and was impressed at the Z5fd's speed
and performance.
Fujifilm Finepix Z5fd News Release Summary:
Look Good While Taking Great Pictures with the Stylish
Ultra-Compact Boasting Face Detection Technology and new Blog
Mode
Valhalla, NY, December 6, 2006 - Fujifilm continues its
tradition of building digital cameras that look as stunning as
the pictures they take with the 6.3 MegaPixel FinePix Z5fd. This
is the first digital camera in the company's slim and stylish
Z-Series category to feature hardware-based Face Detection
Technology along with a new Blog Mode, making it the perfect
accessory for style-conscious digital photographers.
The sleek, strong all-metal body of the FinePix Z5fd is
available in three chic colors - sophisticated wine red,
decadent chocolate brown and lustrous brushed silver - with a
sliding cover that features an eye-catching logo that lights up
during operation. A non-extending Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens
contributes to a streamlined, compact styling that allows for an
easy stow in a shirt pocket or clutch purse. The FinePix Z5fd
also has a 2.5" scratch-resistant LCD screen and that enables
the camera to emerge unscathed from even the most cluttered of
spaces. However, with a digital camera that looks this good, you
may not want to be seen without it in your hand!
Face Detection Technology
When taking group shots, it is often difficult to keep everyone
focused for more than a few seconds, and there is little time to
nail that perfect picture with faces appearing sharp and in the
best light. Luckily, the FinePix Z5fd features Fujifilm's Face
Detection Technology, a selectable mode that identifies up to 10
human faces in a scene. It sets the correct focus for a chosen
primary face and exposure for all detected faces automatically,
regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. Face
Detection Technology can cope with back-lit scenes such as
concerts, settings where there's a more obvious focus point
between people's faces or when the subject is off center, and it
also comes in handy for capturing the perfect self portrait,
which can easily be posted to a blog or webpage.
No Need to Be Afraid Of the Dark!
Sometimes, the most picture-worthy moments occur in dimly-lit
environments such as dance clubs or restaurants, where the lack
of sufficient light presents challenges for many digital
cameras. Behind the picture-perfect exterior of the FinePix Z5fd
is a set of powerful picture-taking technologies that meet the
challenges presented by these environments. The FinePix Z5fd has
ISO capabilities of up to 1600 at full resolution, making
flash-free photography possible with available light, balancing
foreground and background exposure and contributing to a natural
look and feel. Higher light sensitivities also enable the camera
to shoot with faster shutter speeds, which lessen the likelihood
of blurry pictures caused by a moving subject or the shake of an
unsteady hand. To make it easy to achieve blur-free results, the
FinePix Z5fd features a helpful 'Picture Stabilization' mode
setting. This easy-to-identify, automatic setting lets the
FinePix Z5fd choose the correct light sensitivity and
best-matching shutter speed, producing the highest quality
digital pictures without blur and the noise often associated
with high sensitivity photographs.
i-Flash
A flash is necessary at times and to help secure the best, most
natural image quality, the FinePix Z5fd's Intelligent-Flash
system, or "i-Flash", detects subtle lighting differences within
a scene, and then lights the subject accordingly with a variety
of flash intensities. For example, if the subject is off center
and standing beneath a streetlight, the i-Flash system will
correct the exposure, leading to pictures with more natural
looking subjects and backgrounds that are full of bright and
crisp detail. Together, Face Detection and i-Flash technologies
produce photographs with prominent subjects exhibiting pleasing,
natural tones.
Blog Mode
The FinePix Z5fd debuts Fujifilm's brand-new Blog Mode. In this
mode, the camera copies and automatically reduces the size of
copied images for easy posting to a blog, Web page or as an
attachment to email for easy sharing with friends and family
while maintaining the original file. With the increasing
popularity of blogging, instant messaging and personal Web
sites, Fujifilm expects the new Blog Mode to be a well-used
feature on the FinePix Z5fd.
In addition to these innovations, the FinePix Z5fd has a number
of other noteworthy features:
Dual Shot Mode: In this mode the FinePix Z5fd quickly
shoots two images in succession -- one with and one without the
flash -- saving both. This convenient function lets the user
perform an on-the-spot picture comparison and decide whether the
FinePix Z5fd produced the most pleasing photo with flash, or
without.
Special Scene Modes: The FinePix Z5fd has 14 scene
positions including Fireworks, Beach and Snow, offering a
one-touch setting for almost any situation.
Internal memory: Memory cards can fill quickly. The
FinePix Z5fd offers the security of on-board storage with 26MB
of internal memory.
Infrared communication via IR simple technology.
"By combining a sleek design, vibrant new colors and great new
features like Face Detection, the FinePix Z5fd is the perfect
model for those who want a camera that looks as good as the
pictures it takes," said David Troy, Senior Product Manager,
Consumer Digital Cameras, Electronic Imaging Division, FUJIFILM
U.S.A., Inc.
The FinePix Z5fd will debut in March 2007 at a retail price of
$229.
