 "Solid film" 2009-01-18
By Mr. Ben (mid-michigan)
My main reason for preferring this film is because, as far as color goes, this is rich color with a reasonably high ISO. I'm not really that worried about grain since that's part of the draw of shooting film nowadays (at least it is for me).



When I shoot on film, I use a Pentax ME Super without a flash, hence why I use ISO 800, since when I'm at f/2.8 I can shoot comfortably in a reasonably well lit room. And when I'm shooting on overcast days, this film still keeps the pictures looking good.



The final reason that this is most often in my camera (if I'm not shooting Kodak bw4oocn) is because its affordable and readily available. Fuji makes great film and this is a solid performer for general use.



My only concern is that I've had some issues with the film being to tight and it some rolls have been a little hard to load or to catch on the winder (its simply harder to pull out of the cassette). Half of that is user error, but it seems like I have to try more often to get this film to catch in the mechanism (and in an point and shoot camera you probably won't notice if the film isn't actually advancing). Just be careful loading and it should all go smoothly.

 "Como un chicle" 2008-02-15
By Julio Benavides Campos (Bucaramanga, CO)
Es una película muy elástica en su capacidad para exponer las sombras y las zonas muy iluminadas. Un buen balance de color y una plástica muy buena en los tonos intermedios. Le hace a uno pensar que la película todavía sigue siendo una opción para fotografiar.

 "Best 800 Speed Film on the Market" 2006-01-11
By Nick Tropiano (Havertown, PA United States)
This is a pretty amazing film, all things considered. It's fast with less grain than some 400 speed films, imo. Colors are as vivid as it gets for a film this speed, and it can be used outdoors. This film is very versatile. So much so, that I generally use this now instead of 400 speed films if shooting with focal lenghts beyond the standard 50. It's also quite inexpensive. Don't even bother with the Kodak 800 speed films. Though more readily available, this Fuji product is /way/ superior in every respect.

 "Rich colors, especially for landscapes" 2005-08-20
By David J. Osborne (Silverdale, WA USA)
A few years ago I discovered by accident that this 800 film produces vibrantly colorful prints in all levels of light. Now I use it in bright, sunny locations without hesitation, as well as indoors, and with flash. Outdoor scenes with lots of greenery are especially saturated with color.



My only complaint is minor - caucasion complexions tend to appear slightly pale, unless focus and exposure are set especially for the skin. That's not enough to keep me from using the film, though. My specialty is photographing children at play outdoors, and this film has become my "default" film when I can't predict sun/shade situations. I know I'll be fine no matter what conditions are when it's picture time.

 "Awesome film!" 2004-07-06
By carolyn (Canal Winchester, OH)
I use this film in my Canon Rebel and just love it! Most of what I take looks like a postcard with this film. I've photographed things in the worst lighting conditions with no problems whatsoever with this film. It can be light at times, depending on the developer, but all-in-all, I'm VERY satisfied with this film and buy it quite frequently. Most of what I use it for are photographs of family, but it is also used for items pictured on ebay and it just does a wonderful job. I can't recommend this film enough!

 "Scuba delight" 2010-07-25
By E. Scioli (LA, CA)
First rule of under water photography is distance. No greater than 8 feet of water between you and the object. According to physics; light travels slower under water than in air, therefore the amount of light the camera can capture with its limited disposable camera lens is smaller than in air.

I purchased this camera at a dive shop with the understanding of limited distance. The pictures came out fantastically! Of the 27 exposures 1 picture did not come out; octopus rarely stay still for pictures.

 "Bad Camera!!!" 2010-05-26
By R. Hauser
I purchased 2 of these cameras to use in a water park, not one picture came out! My friend had the same issue. I suggest only get these if you are in the carribian with the sun blasting otherwise you are wasting your money and will be dissipointed because your family vacation photos wont come out.

 "Decent" 2010-05-05
By J. Bunzey (Atlanta, GA)
Took snorkeling off St. Croix. Where the light was good, the pictures turned out ok but the color was more blue than necessary. I was able to color balance the digital copies I got to make most turn out pretty good but the prints from development were too blue in almost all cases.

 "Not so Great" 2009-09-17
By G. M. Beatty-Tinsay (Portland, Oregon)
I used this camera in Hawaii. Any pictures taken underwater with this camera should be extremely close range, no more than a couple feet away, and the water has to be very clear and extremely well lit. The pictures will be a bit grainy and fuzzy. Which is to be expected to a certain degree. The best purpose for this camera is taking pictures in the water, but not necessarily under the water except under ideal conditions. I wasn't too happy with this one, might be worth the extra cash to get one with flash on it, becaues at the end of the day when only a few pictures turn out, it's not really worth it.

 "Can't beat this camera for underwater" 2008-11-30
By Frances M. Kaufman
Each year I purchase a couple of these cameras for our snorkeling trips or just horsing around in the pool. They take great pics, have a rubberband type handle so you don't loose them in the water, and they're very inexpensive. Especially great for kids to use.

 "Needed a new battery" 2010-02-02
By P. Hearne
The battery life on my Fuji Z3 was getting to were it wouldn't even stay on long enough to take a picture so I knew I needed a new battery but figured they were super expensive so instead my husband just bought me a whole new camera. Then my grandmother wanted to purchase my old camera from me and I thought since it was always dying I'd get on here to see about getting a new battery for the Z3 and just let her have it. So I shipped her the battery and she said it works perfectly and I love how it was an original Fuji battery and not some junky off brand version. It makes the old camera take pictures like it was brand new and is better quality than my newer camera. :)

 "Powerful Little Fujifilm Rechargeable Battery" 2009-01-21
By mark-o (new jersey)
The Fujifilm NP40 battery is a powerful little lithium-ion rechargeable battery. It's identical in size and shape to the the excellent Canon NB-4L battery (uncannily similar, really). A couple of one-star reviews on this page are actually referring to a different item, which is a generic Fuji battery with case. They are unfortunately reviewing a completely different product, which can give the wrong impression about this particular Fujifilm battery. (Always be sure to check the product listing carefully, Amazon carries both name-brand and generic versions of camera batteries and chargers. If the price seems "too low", that's probably why! Just READ CLOSELY before ordering). This product, the genuine Fujifilm-brand NP-40 battery, is a good, solid, long-lasting rechargeable battery.

 "Sent the wrong item" 2008-12-22
By F. inc Post (My Driveway, MI)
I ordered one Fuji NP40 Battery.

I wanted the original...no knock offs.

Two non-Fuji batteries and one camera case for who knows what camera showed up. The staff answered my email in 3 business days. They sent me a free call tag. A full credit was received shortly thereafter. I found the original NP40 battery at Best Buy for $39.99 and tax. More than I wanted to pay but it is the real thing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 "Had to get it" 2008-09-22
By S. Ou
I have a Z1 and the battery life become unbearable. Basically just a couple of pictures and it would say low battery. Don't even try using flash either. So I had to get a replacement.



Try not to get a 3rd party battery. I tried and it was DOA. I know the price would tempt you but just go with the official brand.



Sadly though, if you think about it. Camera prices aren't that expensive so you might as well just buy a new camera instead of replacing the battery.

 "Would not purchase from Adorama Camera Again" 2007-04-02
By GREEN THUMB
I am reviewing the ADORAMA CAMERA, INC. Co.



This item was ordered on Feb. 19, 2007. I paid $15. for express mail. The order was not received until after March 1, 2007, which was after we had left for Hungary. The company credited my account with only the price of the item ($33.95)...not the $14.95 for express delivery. Since the item was not shipped express delivery I should have received the entire amount of $48.90 back. I WOULD NOT BUY FROM ADORAMA CAMERA AGAIN.

 "Useless -- it is a cheap battery" 2008-12-09
By Electronics lover
This battery is not the advertised capacity. After 5 charges it does not last as promised (about half of the original which I have it and compare side to side) besides the camera won't turn on with tis battery, I have to turn it on with the panasonic battery and then switch to lenmar, otherwise the camera won't respond.

The battery is getting fatter with each recharge so I expect it to exploid in the short term.

Don't try to save some $$$, at teh end it is more expensive to deal with a useless battery that may damage your equipment and guess...it will break when you need it the most!!!

 "My 4th Fugi digital camera." 2010-09-05

This is my 4th fugi digital camera. Just as easy to use with great quality photos. I have two toddlers and take a ton of pics. they are usually perfectly focuses. I love the natural/flash setting that takes the photo in natural light and with flash in succession. Then you can pick which one you like best. I love this camera just as much as i loved the other ones.

 "decent videos, but indoor photos not good at all" 2010-07-20
By violinmom (the Big D)
I am not pleased at all with this camera. I bought it to replace an older Fuji camera. That one took great photos, inside and out, but it only took 1 minute long videos. So I decided to get another Fuji camera and this new one takes much longer videos. I assumed the photo quality would be the same, if not better, than the older Fuji camera I own. I was SO WRONG.



No matter what setting I use I get grainy indoor photos. At times, if I'm sitting close to the object, I will get a good photo. But typically the photos come out grainy. I even use the setting where it takes two photos back to back, one with flash, the other without, and still both photos will be grainy.



I am not happy AT ALL with this camera. Yes, I get longer videos, but I have to carry both cameras with me when I visit the grandkids. The old Fuji camera to take still shots. And this new Fuji camera to take videos. Kind of a hassle, taking both cameras, but I can't get good still shots with this new Fuji camera.

 "Great Camera" 2010-06-13
By L. Demers (Boston MA)
I bought this camera yesterday to sneak into a concert. I worked awesome. The size is small, and since I already own another FinePix camera, the buttons and options were familiar. Needless to say I got some incredible photos, and a great video as well. Anyone who wants a compact camera, with great photo quality, this is the camera for you ! I got mine at Target, but it was because I needed it yesterday, and they had the best price, same as Amazon. Now I just need to order a case from Amazon !

 "Great size, but that's about it." 2010-06-13
By Armando N. Roman (Hillsboro, OR)
My Samsung L100 died last week, and despite being over a year old and "just" 8.2 MP, it was a great camera. I got this Fujifilm JZ300 as a replacement, and I can't believe how much worse it is in every department aside from size, compared to the Samsung. I'm no professional photographer, or even a photography student by any means, but I have an eye for detail, and there's no way you can convince me that this is a real 12 MP camera with HD video capabilities.



I've went through all the settings on this thing after taking a few pictures to make sure it was set to 12 MP, and sure enough, it was. Then I set the quality from normal to fine, and it honestly didn't make a difference. If anything, it made the file size bigger and that's it. So what's so bad about the image quality? I'll put a picture up in the customer images for you to see. Everything is grainy. At first I thought that it might just be that the images look better when you view them in a larger size, but they looked worse. Even my old Canon Powershot from 2005, a 4 MP camera, put out better quality images than this. As for the video quality, that's grainy too. I will say one positive thing about it though- the audio for video on this camera -is- better than the Samsung's. Everything is nice and clear and loud with this JZ300. But really, is audio as important as video when going over features on a camera that's supposed to be HD?



Don't even get me started on the other features of the camera, like face detection, the smoothing option and even my beloved Macro, which I'll admit- I use for damn-near everything. If I had to say anything else nice, and I'm really grasping here, it's that you really can just point and shoot without waiting a second or two for the image to stabilize. That and the audio for video are the only pros aside from the size/weight.



What else can I say? I'm severely disappointed by this thing and will be exchanging it for a different model. Ten bucks says that I can get one for a lot less that has better quality, regardless of features.

 "Buyer beware" 2010-01-29
By Robin K. Perry
My wife purchased this camera from Focus Camera aka [...]. It was to be a birthday gift from her to me. I was born around the Christmas holiday, so like some smart shoppers, she ordered the camera in late November. Unfortunately she misunderstood what it was I wanted and bought the wrong type of camera (I wanted a SLR). Within 3 weeks of my birthday I contacted Focus Camera about the misunderstanding. After some discussion, they agreed that I could return the camera for credit. Unfortunately they don't have what I want. Bottom line, my wife is out [...] and I have a camera I don't want. NOTE: I assume the camera is a good camera. I never even took it out of the box. My problem issue is with Focus Camera. There was fine print in the returns window at purchase that said she only had 14 days to return item. Be sure to read the fine print before completing your purchases.

 "Vital travel item" 2009-06-09
By John S. Harris (Memphis, TN)
The battery life of the FujiFilm FinePix J10 is ridiculously short. You will definitely need a travel charger if you take this camera out anywhere. The other chargers I've had for this camera battery recharged it faster than this one does. Guess the joke is on me for losing my first one and dropping and breaking my second one. Allow up to 2 hours to fully recharge using this one. It does the job, though. And the price is right.

 "An impressive little camera!" 2010-08-01
By Bron (Mechanicsville, VA USA)
Fujifilm FinePix Z700EXR



The natural colors and the great lens make a winning combination.

------------------------------------------------------------------



Pros:

-- Excellent lens! Generous 5x Zoom range, very sharp, clear images. Very little chromatic aberration ("purple fringing").

-- Extremely compact, good build quality, well thought out design.

-- Nice looking camera, stylish design, clever engineering.

-- Includes a printed manual, an excellent battery and charger, USB cable, etc.

-- Uses the widely available, inexpensive SD/SDHC memory cards.

-- Excellent *natural* color (not "juiced" up like many P&S cams).

-- Great Macro Mode! Easy to use and works well.

-- The touchscreen interface actually works very well.

-- Has features enthusiast photographers will love (thinking is rewarded).

-- Fairly powerful flash (for a built-in).

-- Best suited for the enthusiast (in my opinion), more range and capabilities than the average compact camera.



Cons:

-- Extremely compact - easy to get fingers in the way of lens and flash, but you'll learn. ;)

-- No viewfinder. Sadly becoming the norm. (I find it much easier to frame and focus using a viewfinder.)

-- Lots of noise in high ISO images (but same for every other compact P&S). At least you get the shot (and have a choice).

-- Might take a bit more thought than some other compact cameras (but worth it in my opinion)



First off, I am going on a trip tomorrow and had planned to take my long-time favorite compact (another brand) which I truly love, but after using this, I feel confident enough in it to take it with me instead. It has already proven that it is quite capable of excellent images. Also, although I was a bit skeptical of the touch screen interface, as it turns out, it actually works quite well and is easy to use.



This is a *very* small camera, about the size of a deck of cards. It has a high rez 3.5" LCD touch screen that takes up the entire rear of the camera. It seemed bright enough to me and I had no issues using it in bright light outdoors. The camera uses Fuji's exclusive EXR Super CCD sensor technology. Fuji has been going their own way for many years with this tech and I have had earlier Fuji cameras using earlier generations of this sensor and it does have it's special strengths. The EXR bit is some new tech Fuji has been employing recently. It used to be camera makers made a choice and you had to live with it. Fuji got smart and now they let you make the choice. You can choose whether high resolution, wide dynamic range, or high sensitivity and low noise (relatively speaking), are the most important for the scene you are shooting. This is a nice development that gives a compact camera more control and is a welcome advancement for enthusiasts. Of course, they still include the more usual scene and auto modes, and a manual mode for even more control. All in all, much more advanced than your average compact point and shoot. The Z700 also includes dual image stabilization and a generous 5X Optical Zoom lens that's a "periscope" design which stays internal to the body rather than poking in and out while zooming. And the Z700 can even shoot HD (720p) video (though it won't replace a proper HD Video Cam by any means).



I was surprised at how quickly I adapted to this ultra-compact power house. I skimmed over the basic printed manual (nice), but really, you can just pick this cam up and figure most everything out fairly quickly. I had a lot of reservations about the touch screen interface. I love my big SLR's with buttons galore! However, I actually found it nice, easy to use, and fairly intuitive. Although I still prefer using a viewfinder for composition and focusing, I'm somewhat resigned to the fact that they are gone forever on these new compacts. The fairly large LCD screen helps in this regard, making it easier to see details. I did not have any problems and was soon snapping merrily away. The quality of the images is great. Especially outdoors and in good light. They put a serious little lens on this thing, it's a marvel. The macro mode is superb. The clarity, sharp details, and natural color got my attention right away. Focusing was quick and accurate. The camera was very responsive. The image stabilization works well. I was excited to see how capable this little camera is. The natural colors and the great lens make a winning combination. If you are an enthusiast and are serious about photography, you'll be impressed.



I have not used the more glitzy stuff much (face recognition, image tagging, etc.) or the video modes -- I'm more interested in image quality and serious photo capabilities, and the Z700 looks like a contender to me in those areas. I will continue to shoot with it and will come back and update this review as I have more experience with this fine camera.



At the original price, it was a great value, at the new lower prices being offered, it's a superb choice. One of the more exciting models in this price range for sure.

 "A Point-And-Shoot And So Much More!" 2010-07-12
By K. Fontenot (Louisiana)
At first glance, Fujifilm's FinePix Z700EXR looks like just about every other pocket-sized point-and-shoot camera. It comes with a 3.5" LCD wide screen with touch screen capabilities. It also has an internal 5X optical zoom lens, video capabilities, and 12 megapixel resolution for clear photos. Other features include multi-shot capabilities, numerous photo-taking options, and face/pet recognition.



While that's all pretty standard for many similar cameras, Fujifilm goes the extra step by loading up this camera with a ton of features and makes them easy to use as well. One of my favorite features is a with/without flash feature that allows you to take two photos in quick succession, one in natural light and the other with flash, and then have the opportunity to view both on a split screen. You can then delete one or both pics or save them for later. You can also turn on an anti-jitter feature that helps prevent blurred photos. Another nice feature is a slideshow option that lets you view pictures while music quietly plays in the background. There are a number of other features which you may or may not use, including a feature similar to Kodak's Easyshare button that allows you to quickly download photos to Facebook.



Overall use of these features and the accompanying software is relatively easy. Before even looking at the basic manual, I was able to pick up on a number of the camera's features. I took a few test shots at home with the family and then took the camera on the road with us as we spent a weekend together in town. The biggest test so far came during a local science fiction convention where I had the chance to take photos of costumes that ranged from dark-colored Klingons to bright red, white, and blue Captain America. No matter what the setting, the pictures came out very good.



If I have any complaints about this camera, they would have to be the location of lens and the auto shooting mode feature. The lens is right where you'd normally place your fingers while taking a basic photo. It took a little time to get used to pulling back my fingers to keep it from getting in the photo. The auto mode had a tendency to overuse the flash, resulting in some pretty bright photos that would have otherwise looked great in natural lighting.



The camera is packaged with a rechargeable battery that remains charged for a very long time. It also comes with a battery charger, software, a USB cable to connect to your computer, and a basic owner's manual.



It has a sleek look to it and can easily fit into your pocket. I do recommend purchasing a case for the camera in order to product the view screen. Overall, a wonderful camera that's full of easy to use bells and whistles that will not get in your way if you prefer not to use them.



Highly recommended.

 "Review for those who aren't good with high tech gadgets" 2010-06-17
By Margaret Thomas (Georgia)
This takes really great pictures! Or maybe I just have beautiful kids!...Nah, it's the camera. Seriously, I didn't want to just give it five stars, I sat and thought about possible drawbacks, but I haven't found any. My last digital camera was something like 3 megapixels, and the telephoto lens thingy got stuck and never got unstuck. That will never happen with this one, and the pictures are so sharp, and so beautiful, and I love the touchscreen controls.

I had a little trouble with the menu, but I'm not good with high tech devices, I buy cell phones that don't do anything but make phone calls because I can't handle the camera and other add ons. I did figure it out, which means it must be really easy!

It comes with a large 4 gig SD card, it's easy to charge, it holds the charge a long time, I love the battery life, I haven't tested it with a vacation yet, but based on how often I've had to recharge I think it will be just fine. It's easy to load the pictures on the computer, I never even installed the software that came with it.

It's easy to use, even I figured it out, and I have been very unenthusiastic about digital cameras, I still keep my film camera in easy reach, but it's getting less and less use now. The digital revolution finally embroiled me and forced me to take sides, and I have to admit, the freedom of not using film is exhilarating.

I really like this camera. I'm not worthy of it, I don't know what I'm doing, I can't give one of those technical reviews, (except turn the little flat knob on the ring around the button on top right or left for telephoto or wide angle. It's counterintuitive, but that's how it works, and if it's in the wrong mode, hit the other button on top and it switches.)but it works in spite of me. I have taken some fantastic pictures.

I dreaded reviewing this, because I like it so much I sound sycophantic, but it would be unfair NOT to review it just because I like it a lot and can't find anything negative to say, no matter how I try.

It must be pretty sturdy, because it's held up to family use, we've had it for weeks and had no problems of any sort, even though it's been dropped (hear that, Nikon? Find out what fuji is doing right!) My husband's Nikon didn't survive a small fall onto carpet, but this has been dropped outside and it's fine.

Finally, it's red, I always secretly wanted a bright red digital camera. It's easier to keep track of because of that, and it looks very sharp and stylish.

So that is a totally non-technical review, from someone who is terrified of menus and buttons and gadgets. If you're like me, don't be scared, it's very easy, and if you have problems, find a small child to help you. That's what I do.

 "Good camera" 2010-06-16
By dephal (California)
This camera was my first Fuji; all my previous digital cameras have been Kodaks, mostly in the same price range.



Pros: The camera takes excellent pictures. The view screen is very large and, compared to all my Kodaks, easier to see in bright sun. The camera handles indoor settings in dim light better than any of my Kodaks. The battery life is comparable to my Kodaks, which isn't fantastic, but gets me through a pretty active day of picture-taking. There are several nice settings--I particularly like the one where you can touch the portion that you want the camera to focus on. It's stylish. The software is nicer than Kodak's.



Cons: The camera is a lot less intuitive to use than any of my Kodaks--it took a long time to figure out how to do certain things. Because the camera has on-screen controls, and because the screen takes up most of the back of the camera, I found myself often accidentally touching controls when I didn't want to. To access the port for the USB cord, you have to open a little latch, and it's slightly awkward to get the cord attached just right. Unlike my Kodaks, this camera's battery does not recharge if the camera is plugged into my computer; you have to remove the battery and put it in the charger. That's annoying, and also means when you travel, you need to take both the charger and the cord.



Overall, it's a good camera, and I would recommend it for casual use. I'll be using it for my family vacations.

 "Stylish camera with excellent picture quality" 2010-06-14
By Turtle502 (Pitman, NJ USA)
This camera is a good device by Fuji. I've owned two other Fuji cameras nearly ten years, and have been quite pleased with them. This camera is certainly different, and therefore it has some interesting qualities which I'll discuss here.



Physically: The red color is great. The surface of the camera is high-gloss, doesn't pick up normal fingerprints, and seems a bit scratch-resistant. The door for the battery and memory card compartment doesn't close as cleanly as I would prefer, so this worries me. There's a second door which conceals the USB connection, but you'll need to open the battery cover every time you want to charge the battery. However, the door that hides the USB port is only secured with a strip of plastic and could easily break off and get lost. The camera also seems heavier than most others that I've used.



Touchscreen: This camera has a touchscreen with no buttons to control menu functions - everything is done via the touchscreen. The screen is large and bright. When using the camera, the image is surrounded on the left and right edges by options - so the image doesn't fill the entire screen while shooting pictures. The touchscreen is somewhat responsive, although this isn't the type of touchscreen you'd find on your phone or music device - you need to apply just a bit of pressure to activate sections of the screen. In other words, it senses pressure, and not the static charge of your finger. There's an orientation sensor in the camera that will sense which way you are holding the camera - landscape of portrait - and it will rotate the menu options right-side-up accordingly. I've noticed, however, that the screen is very fingerprint-prone. I'd also call the touchscreen a bit "bouncy" when you touch it. It's not like touching glass, it's like touching a plastic sheet.



It probably goes without saying, but this camera deserves a case to protect it, especially the touchscreen.



Functionality:

To turn the camera on, you have to pull the protective door..."down". This is really counter-intuitive, since it's not the way your hands work when you're holding a camera - it's much easier to pull a sliding door to the left or right. Once you do this, it takes at least 4 seconds for the device to be ready to take a picture. As soon as the image appears on the screen, you can press the shutter release and take a picture within 2-3 seconds. If you leave the camera on "Auto", then it's almost "ready-to-go". The camera will automatically shut-down after a few minutes, and it's not easy to restart it quickly.



The lens is at the upper-left (when holding the camera). There's no indentation that prevents your fingers from getting in the way. I've had several shots that included the edge of my fingers. In other words, you have to hold this camera "just right" to keep your fingers out of the image. There's no independent viewfinder, so you must do everything through the display.



The menu system is simple. Common functions are available while taking pictures. Some options, however, are buried at least two or three levels below the top level, so it's not always quick to get to the setting you need. There is a general setup menu that allows you to choose global settings such as screen brightness, sound levels, etc.



Image Quality:

In auto-mode, you can definitely see the camera working. It will actively compensate for differences in lighting and will choose an appropriate flash setting. You can, of course, override everything and select specific shooting modes. The camera seems to perform fairly well in low-light situations, but still is incapable of capturing distant objects in dark settings. In other words, you won't be able to sit in the middle of the auditorium and capture your child during a recital.



One particularly glaring obstacle is how the camera decides to auto-focus while using "zoom". If you center on an object, then zoom-in, the image goes incredibly out-of-focus until you are done zooming and re-center on the object. Unfortunately, it's very easy to lose the subject when this happens.



12 megapixels really makes a difference. This camera not only features 12 megapixels, but it also has an "EXR" mode which forces the camera to give priority over resolution and noise reduction. All of this is very apparent. I've never been easily impressed with higher-megapixel numbers, but this camera has convinced me otherwise. For example, if I take a picture from across the room of my DVR, and I use the camera's editing features to crop a very small region of image, I can clearly discern the very tiny print on the control buttons of my DVR. What does this mean? Well, if you take pictures without using "zoom", you can edit the pictures yourself and zoom-in (crop) without losing any quality. I've been quite impressed with what I can do ON the camera without using a PC.



"Natural light" pictures are some of the best I've ever taken with this camera. I prefer images without flash, but even when you use the flash, this camera doesn't saturate the image with a ghastly-white glow. In general, the camera does a very good job at detecting lighting levels and compensating accordingly.



Videos can be recorded in high-definition. Unfortunately, the focus becomes "fixed focus" and you also cannot use the zoom functionality. High-definition capability aside, I feel like the video recording is very "casual" in nature and isn't meant as a substitute for a separate video recording device.



Battery-life: Battery life is average. The camera uses a proprietary Fuji battery, so if you are traveling and need a "spare", you'll need to buy one. The battery must be removed from the camera to be charged in an included wall-charger. You can probably expect to use the camera substantially over the course of a day before requiring a charge. Unfortunately, the battery-level indicator on the camera only has three bars, and it seems once it get to the "middle" bar, it heads downward very quickly. It doesn't do a very good job at warning you when the battery is starting to drain. Using higher functions (EXR, flash, face-detection, zoom) only drains the battery even faster. It would be nice if the battery charge indicator had more segments so you could better determine remaining charge. When it turns red, you don't know if you can take 5 more pictures or 100, for example.



Overall, I'm very pleased with this camera. I like how it's constructed, and I especially like the touchscreen. The image quality is superb. Unfortunately, everything related to the battery - from the door to the indicator - keeps the product from being perfect. Fortunately, though, I'd recommend not only this camera, but any Fuji camera, based on what I've experienced so far.
