    Advantages Advantages Real Quality Photographs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Could be slightly heavy.

    I have in front of me, a black object, approx. 6” in width, approx. 3” in depth (without lens) and approx. 5 ¼” in height. On holding it, I find the right side is shaped out nicely for easy handgripping, and there is even a groove on the back for the thumb. It is quite heavy, (maybe about 2 ½ lbs, as I weighed on my bathroom scales, and was that much heavier when holding the object. This includes the lens too.) but I don’t find it too heavy. I can use it on a tripod if using slow shutter speed, or in any other tricky situations when camera shake is likely. TOP. Looking down onto the top of the ... more

    4 Stars My S2 Pro 28/02/2004

    Advantages Advantages Full SLR functionality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit heavy

    I got bitten by the digital bug when I bought a Fuji Finepix S602. I had been using Nikon film SLRs for the past twenty years or so. Suddenly I stopped using film and used my S602 almost exclusively. However, I really missed the interchangeable lens facilities that my Nikon film SLRs provided. Then I found out that Fuji were offering what was essentially a digital Nikon F80, their S2 Pro. I use Nikon F80s for film, so it seemed a good idea to use one for digital too. So I bought the Fuji Finepix S2 Pro. The camers has been used virtually daily since I bought it last October (2003). I cannot ... more

    Advantages Advantages cheap, well built, cheap accessories, loads of bits on ebay excellent quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not little, not light, small screen, hard to get Smart Media cards anymore

    I own 2 Fuji cameras the S9600 and the S8000fd, these were purchased last summer to take photographs at some local music festivals for a local newspaper (times and star). After being hooked back into taking photos with an (almost) proper camera I started considering buying a full on DSLR, the problem is that the S9600 is such a good camera that bettering it would be hard (and very expensive) so I gave up. Enter E-Bay and after a couple of silly bids I won a second hand Fuji Finepix S2 pro for under £140 and a bit more shopping landed a 70 - 200mm lens for under £60, so I bought a slightly old ... more

    Advantages Advantages Variety of capture files

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow to write to disk on the larger files

    A very versatile camera as it has been used in professional studio photography throught to wedding and portrait photography. This is a good work-house camera, providing quality imagery, even to this day! I purchased mine second hand from a studio photographer 1995, two years ago and it is still in good working order. In comparison to the more recent Digital Single Lens Reflex's this may seem slow, but is a good camera to learn with is well worth the low price tag. This does however take two lots of batteries - two lithiums and four AA although it will work without the AA's, the lithiums speeds ... more
