Finally, the F60fd has a movie mode, shooting 640-by-480 AVI (motion JPEG) clips with mono sound. But you'll have no zoom while you're filming, although zooming is quite common in video-capable point-and-shoot cameras.

If you take mainly impromptu photos of family and friends, you'll find the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd a breeze to use. Its automatic scene recognition means there's little to think about before you start snapping, yet it also offers plenty of advanced features for when you have more time.
