Manufacturer's product description
The FinePix Big Job HD-3W is a heavy-duty and highly practical digital camera designed to be used in the most challenging of environments. Having withstood a drop test to 70cm and featuring a rubber grip and big buttons, this waterproof, dust proof and shockproof camera can endure what other cameras only dream of. The FinePix Big Job HD-3W is perfect for the construction, engineering, health and safety and manufacturing industries, or any environment where it is likely to get knocked around. The FinePix Big Job HD-3W combines a wide-angle 3x (28-84mm) optical zoom lens with a large, scratch resistant 3" LCD screen so images can be viewed on the back of the camera more clearly. The camera also features a 6 Megapixel CCD sensor and ISO sensitivity of up to 1600, so detailed, low noise images can be captured in low light levels, such as dark construction sites, without the need for flash. However, for times when flash is needed, the powerful built in strobe enables longer flash distance of up to 10 meters. In addition, the layout of the big, easy-to-use buttons allows the camera to be used whilst wearing gloves, ensuring it will not be dropped at the most crucial moment. In two world firsts for the FinePix range the Big Job HD-3W features 'Detection of Manipulation' and 'CALS' modes. The first highlights any tampering that has occurred to images after the photo has been taken. Using the FinePix viewer software on a computer, it is possible to check whether the image has been processed or edited to ensure the integrity of all images. The CALS mode takes photos at 1MP - an ideal size for attaching and distributing via email. These unique features, along with the Shot Date function, which records the time and date that the photo was taken, make monitoring and reporting the progress of work highly reliable and as simple as possible.

Advantages: Face Detection, Large LCD, Easy to acheive professional quality Disadvantages: Heavy
...Having replaced my Fuji S5500 with the FujifilmFinePix S6500fd, I was a little taken aback at the controls and the size of the owners manual.
The quality of the photos are totally outstanding and it has 10mb of internal memory, nice touch. but no supplied XD card, I guess a trade off has to be made somewhere.
The large LCD screen makes taking pics easier and coupled with the automatic face detection it helps to ensure that the faces are by and large in focus.
There is a large range of presets and there is the manual mode where the user can, if they know what to do, can achieve professional quality images with ease. Some may not like using the manual zoom, some will love it. I am in love with te entire package.
The menus are well laid out and easily accessible.
Overall I am extremely happy with the camera and I am still learning...

Advantages: Nice seek style camera with easy share Disadvantages: more options of modes
...The Fuji finepix I will say is a good camera and for the money you spend it’s not bad at all. The camera it self is easy to use and master. Small disadvantage is that you only get a small 8 or 16 meg XD card witch is a bit poor but easly upgradable I wouldent let that put you off.
Disadvantages I will say is that sometimes pictures will come out blured and for the same money I would properly go for the kadak camera with is a little behinde in the tech side but options on that plus you don’t get blurred or blurred as the fuji camera.
Pending on choice if you want top tech then I will say go for the fuji but bare in mind its like the minimum spec. but if just after good pictures then go kodak...
