    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: sharpness, color, overall IQ

    Weaknesses:people would say lack of IS, I would say, who needs IS for a P&S focal range

    Overall Evaluation: I have taken shots outdoor as well as indoor with this camera. The picture quality often compares that from my DSLR when I am shooting outdoors. The colors are saturated and edges are sharp.I also think that this camera gives the best quality for indoor shots from a P&S. You can safely shoot at ISO 800 and with a little photoshop noise reduction, the pictures are perfectly usable.

    Strengths: Low light Performance, Quick start up, focus and cycle time. Best in class iso performance.

    Weaknesses:Likes to select higher iso than needed. Set to Auto(iso 400). Short zoom.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great P & S for indoor and outdoor. I took some stellar photos. Takes good macro shots too. Detail is excellent. It just starts getting some noise at 400 iso, but much less than a Canon SX110 IS (junk) and Pansonic TZ5 (great with more light). The closest P & S in terms of iso performance is the Sony DSC-W300 - much more money. If you want high iso, go with Olympus E-520 DSLR.

    Strengths: Excellent Picture QualityEasy to useVery good battery lifeLot of scenic optionsValue for Money - You wont find a better camera at this price

    Weaknesses:None so far

    Overall Evaluation: I have always owned a Canon. But My last Compact Canon Camera was very dissapointing. I bought it for my brother and also recommended one of my friend to buy it. My friend and my brother still hold me responsible for suggesting such a bad camera. At low lights Canon cameras simply dont perform well. To my surprise this Camera has been performing excellent at low lights. I dont know wht everyone prefers Canon. After buying this camera , I feel I will never go back to Canon Products

    Strengths: Usable pictures under low light condition

    Weaknesses:Not a real hardware image stablizer

    Overall Evaluation: I received it two days ago and have tried it out at night and at noon. Unlike the other compact DC, it does produce usable pictures in any light condition without using flash. IS(image stablizer) is the only job it does not exceed my Canon A570IS. After FinePix's $50 rebate, both Fuji F40fd and Canon A570IS are selling at the same price as the best DC at its own court.

    Strengths: Low noise at low/mid -light, compact, good image quality, large, clear LCD.

    Weaknesses:No image stabilization, no manual shutter control, no optical viewfinder.

    Overall Evaluation: After researching compact digital cameras, I came to the same conclusion as the one often mentioned on photography forums: if you want to shoot in mid/low -light conditions without that awful flash, either go Fuji Super-CCD sensor, or a "real", but expensive, D-SLR camera. In the image quality department alone, the F40fd does not disappoint: low noise up to ISO800 sensitivity (ISO1600 is unbearably noisy), sharp focus, good color balance. However, unless you do shoot with a flash or do shoot outdoors under plenty of daylight, most of the photos consistently come out blurry, since the camera always automatically chooses way too slow a shutter speed to eliminate hand-held camera motion. The camera lacks "real", hardware-based, Canon-style Image Stabilization (IS), or manual shutter override, so unless you plan to always use a tripod, F40fd's good mid/low -light performance will not be of much use.
