Fujifilm's 2007 F-series compact — 9MP 1/1.6in CCD, F40fd twin, xD/SD slot, face detection
The FinePix F47fd was released in 2007, a few months after the FinePix F40fd, and per Camera-wiki is identical to that camera except for a 9.0-megapixel sensor in place of the F40fd's 8.3. It was only sold in some countries, which makes it the scarcer badge of the pair, and it carried on the enthusiast-leaning F-series line that replaced the F31fd in the market.
It is built around a 9-megapixel CCD in the large 1/1.6-inch class with the F40fd's 3x zoom lens and body, face detection (the 'fd' in the name), and a sensitivity ceiling of ISO 2000 with limited manual control. The card slot takes both xD-Picture Cards and SD, and Fujifilm issued a firmware update adding SDHC support, which is worth confirming on any given example.
It suits shooters who want the celebrated late-2000s Fujifilm compact colour without F31fd prices: the F40fd generation was noted for natural, warm white balance and image quality up to ISO 400 among the best compacts of its year, with usable if noisier ISO 800. The light noise reduction keeps detail at normal viewing sizes even where pixel-level output looks rough.
Check whether the SDHC firmware update has been applied, since it decides how easily you can feed it cards; the dual slot otherwise makes media painless. Owners reported the metal finish scratches easily, so cosmetic grading matters, and there is no optical viewfinder, so the LCD must be sound. Confirm the exact badge — F40fd, F45fd and F47fd variants circulate and sellers mix them up.
