Advantages: The camera is brilliant, everything I wanted and didn't get with my vivitar camera Disadvantages: I wanted a red one :D That's it really. A few problems with the scene modes but nothing too bad
on coming closer and closer to him. I picked up this new camera, and he seemed perfectly content to lie there whilst I was taking pictures, he soon got bored though and I didn?t get as many pictures as I would have liked.
The LCD screen on this camera is huge, even bigger than my Fujifilm S8000, which is a much larger camera, they have compensated by removing quite a few buttons that you may usually expect to get on the back of the camera, however you will find this LCD screen is brilliant, it shows the pictures beautifully and very clear.
Buttons
On the back of the camera, you have the usual circle buttons, which allow you to set the scene to macro, add flash, add a timer and then the delete button. In the centre OK button shows you the shooting menu, which allows you to get to the set up menu.
The only other buttons ...

I recently purchased this camera as a replacement for our last digital camera, I am a novice when it comes to Digital photography and so don't know too much about the technical areas.......well actually i don't know anything about the tech side so if thats you read on.........

2.With a small person i needed a camera with a quick shutter ...
Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient
The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered.
The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too.
The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed.
There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used ...
