User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great value but lacks in service
Have purchased another Fuji camera and was quite pleased with it but was looking for an updated camera, Price was one of the factors in buying this one and the newer options. Camera works fine, is easy to hold and focus and fits well in camera case along with other cameras if this important for users. Battery life I can’t attest to as i’ve not had it long enough to test, However I am crusing in January so i’ll give it a good workout. Down side: cd unreadable and there was no memory card included to try out camera and my other memory cards were not compatable but by luck I had a card that would work. Otherwise I would have had to make a trip and find the right one, Downloading to computer did not work at first as the connection to the camera you have to push real hard to make a good connection.Beyond these two gripes I would say that this is a fine camera for the price and ease of use for the average user.As I stated before this is my second Fuji and am quite happy with there products.

5 Stars Great camera for vacations/birding
This was a replacement for my Fuji Finepix S1000 after I damaged its LCD screen beyond repair. I like this camera because it is compact and has a lot of features. I love the image stabilization and 12x optical zoom for birding.

5 Stars BEST CAMERA I EVER HAD!!
My husband bought me this camera for my birthday in August…then I only used it for about 3 weeks before a “Friend” stole it from my house!! So we purchased another one the following month.. Now I have had it for about 4 months!! I must say this is by far the BEST camera I have ever owned!! Being I worked in the Photo department before I knew what to look for in a good camera and well Fuji is a very good maker of cameras. People always think Kodak but Fuji really is one of the best!! So with this camera being 10mp, 10x’s optical zoom and Fuji those three things are what sold it to me for the deal!! I love to take pictures and the pictures this camera takes are breathtaking! It’s amazing how crystal clear the pictures are! It’s easy to learn how to use, has great options for settings right on the top, takes regular AA batteries that makes it easy to change fast and keep shooting! I would recommend this camera to anyone who loves to take many pics and scenic pictures. The zoom is wonderful!! No need to get close to get a clear image..just ZOOM! This camera is easily worth the money paid!! The only thing that I miss is that having a smaller camera before this I could fit it in my purse.. This one you cant. Its a lil bigger and you would need a camera bag. It’s not a small camera to just put in a pocket. It’s quite bigger but totally worth it if you know about camera’s and the specs you will see how this is worth it even if you can’t just shove it into your pocket!! Just use the camera strap and hang it around your neck and your ready to snap!!!

5 Stars Fantastic Camera at a fantastic price!
If you’re looking for the features of an SLR, you’re not going to like this camera. But if you’re comparing it with traditional point and shoot cameras, you’ll find that it holds it’s own.

My favorite feature is the macro modes. With this feature you can get very, very close to the object and still retain focus.

I’m not a professional photographer. I wouldn’t even say it’s a hobby of mine. But I do like to take the occasional picture. After getting this camera I found myself wandering around taking pictures of everything — up close, far away.

I have zero complaints about this camera as it has more features than I expected it to.

I wish that the camera had a removable lense that would allow me to attach different lenses. However, most point-and-shoot cameras don’t allow the lense to be changed so this isn’t truely a negative for this camera.

I also wish I could capture the images in RAW formate. The internal memory and memory card have plenty of room, but this just isn’t an option. I still don’t consider this a negative as the JPGs it produces are beautiful.

I have entered a couple amature photography contest with this camera. Of the 6 that I have entered so far, I have taken first place twice, and have come in second place 3 times. That says quite a lot about the camera when it’s pictures are holding up against high end Canon Digital SLR based cameras!

Highly recommend and would definitely buy this camera again!

Haven’t had it very long and do not take a lot of pictures but this camera does a great job and I believe it will do all the things I need in a camera.
