Description — Fujifilm FinePix 50i
The Fujifilm FinePix 50i is a point-and-shoot compact built for straightforward photography in a genuinely pocketable package. At the heart of the camera is a 2.4MP sensor in a 1/1.7-inch format, capturing images at up to 1800x1200 pixels in the sRGB color profile. The body is machined from aluminum-magnesium alloy and measures just 86 x 71 x 24 mm, weighing in at 160g — making it one of the more carry-friendly cameras in its category.
Autofocus uses a contrast detection system, and framing is handled via either an optical tunnel viewfinder or the 1.5-inch low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD with 0.11 million dots of resolution. The built-in flash supports five modes — Auto, Red-eye Reduction, Forced, Suppressed, and Slow Syncro — with an effective range of approximately 0.4 to 3.5 meters. Power flexibility is a notable practical advantage: the camera runs on either AA NiMH (2) batteries or an NP-60 Li-ion battery, with AA NiMH delivering roughly 200 shots.
Burst shooting is available at 2 fps, and the camera connects via USB.
