Tags: fujifilm, limit, detection, response
We like:
Lightning-fast shutter response; lots of settings; clear interface
We don't like:
Some counter-intuitive buttons; image stabilisation isn't mechanical or optical
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The F40fd is user-friendly and super-quick. Face detection is patchy but useful, while image stabilisation works well thanks to the camera's strong automatic capability. Dual-card format, customisable favourite modes and lots of presets make this an accessible and clever compact

Cameras with image stabilisation
Image stabilisation addresses one of the common causes of blurred photographs: camera shake. You might think your lens is no good, or blame your camera's autofocus mechanism, but it's probably your unsteady hands that are at fault.
