Fujifilm Strike Again

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

...heard before that they can be a bit cruel when it comes to returning products, a lot of them don?t allow you to return a product once it has been opened and used, so I was a bit worried that I would not get my money back. Buying the Camera We went into the shop, fully expecting a problem with the fact that I had used the camera and tested it out, however a lady who recognised us from the previous day (she sold my mum her tumble dryer) and helped us out immensely. One of the first things she said was that she would have never have sold us this camera in the first place, it is supposed to be quite poor and the girl that sold it us should have really known that. She asked us then if we had seen the Fujifilm offer on at the moment. It had £10 off and meant that the price of the camera was still within my price range, but I would be...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix A170

Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

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...

Fujifilm Poorpix F60FD

Advantages: Great looks and well built.
Disadvantages: Some features fail to impress and the overall image quality is far from great.

...Most of you who read my reviews regularly will by now know that as well as being a professional photographer, I am also part of a camera club and as such I get the chance to test many various types of cameras and often give seminars and write reviews on these cameras. A few days ago I was handed the latest in what is a short line of Fujifilm?s F series compacts and I set about finding out just how good this new Fujifilm FinePix F60FD actually is. Following on from the F50FD this luxury compact camera is jam packed full of features and clever ideas, it has a massive 12MP resolution, a 3X optical zoom and a huge 3 inch screen so it is on par or better than many of its immediate rivals on these fronts but can it carry off great photography or is it all about having the gimmicks and the toys to appear a good camera rather than being one...

Fuji deliver again at a fraction of the cost

Advantages: Price, Brand, Design,
Disadvantages: Having to buy a memory card

...Let?s face it we all want a decent digital camera these days, I had been using a camera with only 8 million pixels which is pretty poor in comparison to even my own mobile phone. So I thought it was about time that I looked for a new one. Searching Now to be honest I am no expert on digital cameras, all I do it simply get on the internet and check out the usual places such as Comet, Argos, Curry?s and John Lewis. I set myself a budget of £150 and I knew I wanted a Fuji camera as I believe that they offer easy to use cameras at affordable prices. I then came across a Fuji Film A150 camera in Curry?s at a cost of £97.99 which I was delighted with but being a good money saver I decided to Google the camera to see if that was really a good price. So the Google result appeared and I was even happier as Argos had the camera for £67...

Review of Fujifilm A150

Fujifilm F480 Camera

Advantages: A great all round stylish camera
Disadvantages: Not for tehcno-phobes!

...I upgraded my digital camera to a Fujifilm Finepix F480 a few months ago after finally parting company with my loyal, reliable previous digital camera which I had owned for 4 years. I was reluctant to swap to a new camera as I knew that over the last few years, technology had advanced and although I wanted a camera which gave me the opportunity to take the highest quality pictures, I also wanted the camera itself to still be simple to use. ~The camera itself~ The Finepix F480 is modern in design in my opinion. It comes in silver or black and is light to hold and compact in size so fits well in the handbag without taking up too much space - a must for us ladies!! It is an 8.2 mega pixel camera and has a sleek and stylish design. For such a compact camera I was impressed with the screen size on the reverse of the camera...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix F480

Fuji FinePix F70EXR - slimline super-zoom

Advantages: Features, Low-light capability
Disadvantages: A little confusing to master and a little too expensive

...The Fuji FinePix F70EXR is billed by the manufacturer as the slimmest 10x zoom camera on the market and, at less than 23mm in depth, it is certainly very easy and convenient to carry around. The zoom is great for magnification, being the equivalent of 27-270mm in 35mm terms, but I found it to be a little fuzzy at the long end. There is also a 4x digital zoom for anyone who wants it. The FinePix F-series cameras are renowned for their low-light (high ISO) capabilities and the F70EXR should be no exception, sharing as it does the 1/2 inch sensor of the F200EXR but with 2 million fewer pixels crammed onto it. Also the EXR technology is great for combating noise on higher ISO shots. Obviously the F70EXR is small, compact and lightweight and, in general, feels great to hold, with all the controls being conveniently placed ? apart from...

Fujifilm for fine fotos!

Advantages: great quality photos, good price
Disadvantages: not as small as other models

...*~*~*INTRODUCTION*~*~* After my holiday I decided to purchase another camera. I managed to break the lens cover by getting sand inside. The screen was scratched and I found that photos were not as good as they could be. I found the camera very hard to use as fiddling around with flash buttons and menu features confused me. By the time I had figured out what to do I had missed what I was taking the picture of. I also found that after pressing the button to take a picture the camera was too slow at taking it. With fast moving objects or action shots my camera was rubbish. I have heard many great things about Fujifilm so decided to take a look at the cameras on the market and was impressed. *~*~*FUJIFILM*~*~* Fujifilm was founded in 1934 with the hope of producing modern products for photography. The headquarters is based in...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix A900

Fuji digital heaven

Advantages: Great indoor photo's. Photo's good with auto settings
Disadvantages: Manual settings will take a while to learn for a novice.

.... First Impressions :~ First impressions of the camera were quite good. The Fuji looks expensive and at £150 it is the most i have ever paid for a camera, but for the features it is good value. Light in weight,(198g). Compact,(3.5" x 2"x 1.5"). Large LCD screen for the size of the camera.(2" x 1.5") All the controls looked as if they could be used with the thumb and index finger of the right hand. As with all new gadgets i wanted to have ago straight away. Putting in the battery hoping there was some charge in it so i could take a few snap shots. Battery in XD card in, press power on button a whirl of a motor the lens shoots out of the front and a couple of little chirps sound the LCD screen comes to life and the camera is ready. Without reading any of the manual i'm taking photo's altering the settings zooming in zooming out. This...

Fuji FinePix J250. A lot of camera for a little money

Advantages: Ease of use, Feature-packed, Cheap
Disadvantages: A little slow, Limited manual usability

...For a relatively inexpensive camera, the Fuji FinePix J250 has some surprising features stowed away in that little casing, such as digital/sensor shift Image Stabilization, Face Detection, Scene Recognition and a whopping great 3? LCD screen. The 5x optical zoom gives a focal range of 5.1 ? 25.5mm, or 28 ? 140mm in 35mm equivalent terms, which is great for a wide range of situations, and there is Continuous Shooting, albeit it at a lowly rate of 1.4fps. It is not as small and compact as some of the small compacts on the market but at 92mm (3.6in) x 58mm (2.3in) x 23mm (0.9in), it will slip into your pocket with the same ease as a cigarette packet, and it weighs in at 151g (5.3oz). The appearance is sleek and smart, sporting a round-shouldered, brushed-metal casing. I haven?t seen it in any other colour than black but the black...

Fuji Fun

Advantages: Small, reasonable price, easy on batteries
Disadvantages: Not found them yet

...In May last year my wife and I were going to Paris for week. This co-incided with a French Civil Service strike which meant we could not travel on the day we planned. Luckily, we were able to re-arrange our flights and go a day early. I find out about all this at work. So bye-bye work and I rush off home. Hurriedly pack and off to Edinburgh airport. Get to the airport and realise - arghhh...forgot my camera. We looked the cameras on offer - a reasonable choice for an airport. My wife suggested one of these thow-away thingees. I was not keen - truth is that I was secretly pleased at the opportunity to get a new digital camera. Problem was I did not want to spend too much. I paid £120 for this little gem. So after toying with some of the more expensive Sony models - I plumped for the Fuji FinePix A202. I enjoy...
