Note unique features. As the competition between high-performance cameras heats up, manufacturers are adding features. Sensor or software-based dust removal, 2.5-inch or larger LCDs, software, and image stabilization, either in-camera or in-lens, are becoming regular attributes. Face detection, the ability to automatically find and lock in on faces to keep them in focus and properly exposed, is relatively new; the Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd SLR-like offers it. Some SLR digital cameras have live-view LCDs similar to those found on smaller cameras. Nikon’s D40 is one of the first SLR digital cameras to offer in-camera retouching, which lets you apply a variety of cosmetic effects.
