Fujifilm Finepix S6500fd

A fantastic camera for both beginners and semi-professionals. The Fujifilm Finepix S6500fd has features and options to fulfill all of your photographic needs - from variable aperture and shutter speed to manual focus. When looking to buy a new digital camera, I wanted something with manual capabilities yet that could also become 'point and shoot' when I needed it to. If that's the profile of the camera you want to buy, then the S6500fd is definitely for you. You can create artistic photos, perhaps for photography competitions, as well as taking all of your holiday pictures without messing around. I would definitely recommend the S6500fd to anyone ...  Read the complete review

The Fujifilm 6500fd (6000fd in the US) is a bridge camera - between point-and-shoot cameras (those small rectangular things) and proper dSLR cameras (those big, professional-looking ones!) and it serves this purpose brilliantly. I acquired mine when I realised that I'd outgrown my 2 megapixel point-and-shoot and needed something more.

It performs fantastically in either area, and I'm sure it does a brilliant job ...  Read the complete review

The fact that you have to adjust the lens manually as apposed to ...  Read the complete review

Please note - This review is specifically intended to be technical. This is a semi pro camera and the review is based around the user having a knowledge of digital photography. Thanks for reading..... Fujifilm's high-spec semi-pro series, the Finepix S6500fd fits nicely in to Fujifilms range between the slightly higher spec S9500 and the lower spec S5600. It actually has many of the features of the S9500 including the f2.8-f4.9, 10.7x optical zoom lens and if truth be known, is not far off being the same price, the same size and the same weight as the S9500. The S6500 is supposed to be the lower-spec camera, so it lacks a few of the S9500's ...  Read the complete review
