Advantages: Fantastic colours Disadvantages: lens gets in way of flash on macro
of my photos, and if you don't want to go straight to SLR, its a fab bridge camera, which sometimes in my opinion can be better than SLR.
Its not the cheapest camera on the market, nor is it the most expensive, I think that the price is right, I wouldn't pay any more for it, and any less would not give it the respect that it deserves. Well done Fuji and thanks for the memories. ...
Advantages: Extremely Versatile film and excellent value for money Disadvantages: Grain is noticable and flesh tones are not quite right
Introduction:
Fuji make fantastic films - they make the sort of films that professionals choose over Kodak or Agfa or Konica, and even for Black and White, Ilford. However, this is not one of those films. This is like the Renault Espace of films, you can do just about anything in it, but not particularly well and the neighbours won't be that impressed with the results. A Porshe it is not!
This is a film to cover most conditions, be it bright and sunny or a little overcast, from outdoor to indoor - and for that fact alone I recommend it to all amateur photographers, because its the sort of film to have in your camera for that shot of the moment.

For as long as I have known, I have always wanted an instant camera and I thought I would end up buying a Polaroid.
However, on a visit to the Argos catalogue shop I noticed another instant camera, the Instax 100 - made by Fujifilm. Despite Polaroid's dominance in this niché market, it looks like Fujifilm may have beaten them at their own game.
I bought the "Big Party" pack, which comprises of the camera, a black carry case, four "AA" (Pen width) batteries, a shoulder strap and two packs of 10 picture film.
The camera is large and seems too bulky at first, but you soon get used to it. The instructions are easy to follow and you will find you are ready in no time at all.
The features were the first things which drew me to this camera. It has a small LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to show how many pictures you have left, a two ...
