Wide open; f2.8 4 seconds at ISO 100 on a very windy night
Straight jpeg (for a treat look closely in the bed of the truck in the lower right; I missed this till I uploaded it)

F5.6 1/280sec, ISO 100 run through Silkypix
Both at 35mm-e

How do you find the handling of the camera Lili? How about the OS/menus navigation?

Not nearly as slick as the two dial GRD Tim.
But its far tinier and fills a different niche.
I am used to the UI since I owned a F31 for a time.
Actually it is improved somewhat over that camera, some options (quality for ex.) are no longer deeply buried but can be accessed at the push of a button.
Actually for a super compact it is VERY well thought out and effective.

To show just how tiny the F60fd is
Front view

Back view

Overhead shot

As you see Fujichan is a tiny thing next to Ricoh-Sama.
But the F60 screen is HUGE
Both cameras constitute no real burden to carry and they compliment one another nicely

Hi Lili,

Seems like a very nice camera. I find it hard to keep up with all the cameras that seem to be available these days!

Ed, it is actually much nicer than various forums had led me to believe. It is the real sucessor to the fabled f30/31's, having aperture and shutter preferred modes as well as a similar lens. The sensor is actually just a hair bigger than theirs and, IIRC, it has the largest sensor of all the super small digicams. The hi ISO, while not quite up to that of the F31, is still leagues better than any other super tiny cams. And the IQ at low ISO is remarkably good as well.
I got it because it was so small and on sale. After having used it a bit I feel it is very unfairly under rated. It is a wonderful companion for those times when size and weight matter most without compromising IQ.
On a side note I was looking through my flickr and it seems of my 10 most popular images there 6 were shot on fuji's (S6000 and F31) FWIW!

Lili,

Thanks for the information. This could right up my better halfs street. Often the better small sensor cameras are not truly pocketable. This one seems to be though!

It is pocketable indeed. One caveat, the battery life, while not so bad as some reviews would have it is around 300 shots or so. Gladly the external charging station is fast enough, just over 2 hours from flat.
I ordered a spare battery as well, just as I have already for my GRD.

Sorry for all the indoor shots, stuck at home this weekend with bad cold :(

Lili, that's a great cat shot. The F60fd is definitely a keeper (along with the cat). Very impressive for a camera that's being marketed as a point-and-shoot.

Uhhhh, that´s small. Can you post a picture with lens fully extended ???
you're being such a boy!!!

but, i must agree. anything that makes the GRD look huge is truly teeny.

and the shots, Lili, wow! i think you done good :D
