The FinePix Z5fd is a 6 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom, 6.2x digital zoom, a gorgeous 2.5 inch LCD display, 27 mb of internal memory, an xD slot, and ISO sensitivity up to 1600. The FinePix Camera can also record video at 30fps. Trusted Reviews gave the Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd an overall rating of 8/10, saying “Proving that you should never judge a book by its cover, the party-oriented Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd is a very accomplished little camera, capable of producing excellent results both indoors and out in a wide range of lighting conditions, as long as you keep your grubby fingers clear of the lens. It is stylish, well made, performs and handles well, and is very easy to use. The only real issue is the limited battery life, but if as long as you keep it charged up this shouldn’t be a problem.”
