Much better than I initially expected
Let me say right off the bat that I'm an owner of a previous F-series camera, the F31fd. I love that camera but I wanted the image stabilization and the wider wide-angle, which the F31 doesn't have.
When I first opened the box and tried out a few dozen shots, I was disappointed. Using the F100 as I had used the F31, I thought the results weren't as good. I wasn't used to the new controls, I missed the Manual-Aperture-Shutter- priority and the top-mounted Mode dial. (By the way I...

Best Compact on the Market!
People seriously this is the best compact camera on the market. When I say this I am specifically speaking of picture quality. Since things like size weight menu layout are a matter of personal preference I cant place a value on that for you but I find it simple to take amazing pictures. Sharpness color and detail are amazing. In many cases it would be hard to tell the difference between pictures taken with this a a DSLR. The secret is set camera to Manual mode set metering to average and hold t...

A very good pocketable compact camera
I think overall this is one of the better compact digital cameras (that is pocketable) in its class. Other cameras that I would consider in this class are: Panasonic TZ5 and Canon SD870IS.
OK, first of all, the issue of pink banding. Out of 200+ test images that I made, I noticed 2 of them have minor pink banding, and these are shot at ISO1600. I am guessing some batches of F100fd do exhibit this problem worse than others. I've seen samples on the web where pink banding is obvious ev...

Great picture quality, but just too slow
I assume anyone who's reading this review already has looked at the specs, so I won't regurgitate them. I did a lot of research and finally settled on a top 3 list of point-and-shoot cameras in August 2008, which were the Fujifilm F100fd, Canon SD770-IS, and the Panasonic TZ5.
My main criteria were:
1. Picture quality
2. Low-light performance
3. Speed (boot up, focus speed, etc.)
This is how the F100fd stacked up against the other two.
The F1...

Pro photographer loves it
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I'm a professional photographer and I've owned a Fuji F10, F30, F50 and now the F100. The F50 was the only dog of that group. The F100 I feel has just as good low-light performance as my beloved F30 but with twice the resolution. You can look at my blog at http://rickleephoto.blogspot.com and click on the "Produce" tag and see that weeks #122 and up are shot with the F100 at ISO800. The c...

Hands Down Best Compact On The Market
I am being very open and honest when I say this is the best compact on the market. Please note when I say this I am specifically refering to image quality. Things like looks, feel, menu layout, options, weight...ect are a mater of personal preference and who can judge that for you. I will admit I am not a professional photographer but I don't need to be to see which pictures are more pleasing to the eye. Isn't this what it is all about?
In short the Fuji F100 take beautiful, sharp col...

Designed by committee
I bought this because I hoped it would be an upgrade from my favorite digital camera, the Fujifilm F30. Unfortunately, it is not better overall.
The F30, which is out of production, developed something of a cult following in techno-nurd circles because it had the incredible sensitivity of ISO 3200 with low noise (speckle). Fuji accomplished this with their "Super CCD" using hexagonally packed, larger sensors for greater fill factor and the ability to capture lower light intensities. (...

A point and shoot camera
Yes, under extreme circumstances and with some effort you can create a picture showing a slightly blue / purple speckled black in dark objects or shadows. This is at the extreme left 2% of the photo, visible when artificially enhanced in Photoshop, and difficult to see when printed.
The Fuji seems to have less noise and better resolution at ISO 400 and 800 than other cameras in it's class. It is a wonderful little point and shoot camera with limited manual control. Would prefer 4 1...

Overall, impressive
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I tested the F100fd I received through Amazon for the pink banding problem described by the previous reviewer, and it does not appear to have that problem.
Also, I compared shots with this camera in moderate daylight to my Canon SD950 (both are 12MP and similar in size). I shot the same scenes at ISO100 (ISO80 on the Canon) and at ISO400. In terms of noise levels, the res...

Great all around Camera
I agree with the reviewer on April 9th, Trevor sounds like you read some reviews on dpreview and never actually had the camera or have you? LOL. By all means please buy the Canon 800 IS or 870 and get stuck with over 40% of your shots with dust spots from the flash being too bright. "Some" Fuji cameras have had this issue on early production runs, so far I haven't seen it pop up on my camera because I been too busy taking great pictures. The unit is built solid, has nice 5X zoom and a very eas...
