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 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...

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...

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 FinePix F200EXR - The Party Animal's camera

Advantages: Low-light capability, Auto-focus is brilliant
Disadvantages: Awkward menus, Slow start-up

...Much has been made in recent years if the quality of low-light/high ISO images produced by the Fuji FinePix F30 and F31d cameras - and rightly so. By not trying to cram more and more pixels onto their sensor, Fuji have been able to concentrate on getting better performance out of the ones that are already there and the 6mp cameras certainly make the most of the available light. This tradition has been upheld with the development of the EXR sensor and the release of the F200EXR - a serious compact camera, with a serious price tag of around £330 (RRP). It is basically an old Fuji FinePix F100fd with the new EXR sensor. It is a different colour but there aren't many other differences on the surface. What is EXR Technology? If I could answer that, I'd be considerably richer than I am! As I understand it, it is all to do with the way...

FujiFilm FinePix Camera

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None

...I love this camera! I was bought it as a present from a photography obsessed relative and he wouldn't buy me rubbish. The package: digital FinePix camera Z10fd, Li-on battery NP-45, battery charger, handy strap, USB cable, A/V cable, CD-ROM and manual. Technical part: works on windows Vista, XP home, XP Pro, 2000 Pro. 7.2 mega pixals, 3x optical zoom and 2.5 incg LCD screen Handy extras (not supplied) - XD picture memory card and carry case. Memory card is deffinately recommended so you can take more pictures and a carry case would be nice although I don't use one as it's small and light enough to fit in the pocket of my handbag. Not being a camera person and never really using one before I found this easy to set up and install on my PC. The menus are easy to navigate and there is a more than ample choice of shooting modes...

Fuji Finepix s1000fd

Advantages: Price, Picture Quality, Design,
Disadvantages: Doesent fit external filters, body is a bit too small

...I got my Fujifilm s1000fd only a few months ago, due to my s800 breaking i got this discounted. i think it is a great camera for all types of photography or just for quick shots, I will start with picture quality, and for what is known as a "bridge" camera is gives superb picture quality and sharpness, the highest resolution is way higher than most amateur photographers would need and the levels of detail are surprisingly good, noise is reduced in low light by a staggering 3200 ISO it can shoot as low res at around 2.5 frames per second and at a very high shutter speed of 2000 way outdoing any bridge or point and shoot camera within the price range. It has a dial on the top of the main body giving you access to all your features, these include Auto, Manual, Aperture Priority, Shutter priority and programmable to name a few. it also...

Finest Fuji Finepix A350

Advantages: Quality, Size, Design, Look, Price, Brand
Disadvantages: None as yet

...Up until the beginning of December 2005 I had been using a Fuji 2300 digital camera but unfortunately it became faulty and was beyond economical repair so I had to buy a new camera. **What I was looking for? ** I had a budget of £200 to buy a half decent camera that would provide me with excellent quality pictures. Now it had to be easy to use, light weight and of course it had to be manufactured by the one and only Fuji. I wanted a camera that had a high pixel than 4 million as after reading many reviews that seems to be where the quality is better. Now the search began. *Choosing the camera? I got the good old faithful Argos book out and had a look through not convinced that I was getting the best deal and the fact that I was not able to see the camera for real before buying it I decided to forget about Argos. I went to my...

Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd the answer to my prayers!

Advantages: Everything! great pics, great value, great lense, great fun, and user friendly!
Disadvantages: Very few! bad battery choice (i.e. LR6 or FR6 AA's only), no mechanical image stabalisation!

...professional TV camera's) the Fujifilm far out shined most of its competitors by a mile! Check out the other Fujifilm Finepix's "s" ranges! as most componants are reused and swapped around in their models, so what is good for one, is good if not better for another!...
