Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Fujifilm Instax Mini 12

An ok camera really, untill a few weeks ago. A year after I bought this camera it started playing up: lens would not retract and camera would not turn off properly. Not even after taking the batteries out would the lens retract. Sometimes, on a good day, the camera will function properly, and sometimes not. I would not buy this camera again.

The camera was nice for the month it worked....I got it for my graduation right before college and it never even made it to school. I went to an outdoor concert and was taking pictures when it started to drizzle. I put it in my purse immediately. It could not have gotten that wet, yet it began to act funky later that evening, the buttons were all doing different things than they were supposed to. For a while it only tuned on when it was plugged in and you hit the on button about five times, eventually it wouldn't turn on anymore. Because it was considered water damage the warranty wouldn't cover it and I'm out a camera. The screen was great and the pictures it did manage to take were ok, but sometimes turned out pixely, not what I would have expected even from a 5.1 megapixel camera.

Unless you are planning to have this camera encased in magical protective gear forever, I would avoid it.

I bought this Camera after I lost a much more exensive canon A650 IS (about £300)This is an easy too use camera with a big Zoom, it felt a bit big at first, but once I saw some of the pictures I took with it and how easy it is too use, I can honestly say my pictures are very good, they are clear and the camera is a joy too use. I could not be happier. This is not a complex camera, but a brillaint camera for taking good pictures with......and as the prices come down it makes so much sense.

Great camera! We owned it for 3 month. We got this for less than $400 when there were multiple sale, promotion and rebates. I am not a professional but rather enjoy the picture shooting. We upgraded this from Fuji S7000, which is another great camera at time.

This is not DSLR camera, but it is close to DSLR quality. It is fast, lot of function, wonderful color, great image quality in low light, wide angle, telephotos, tilt live LCD view, video with zooming function... You got them all in one body. It is heavy, but there is no need to invest expensive lens, no need to change lens in between shootings.

If you do take a lot of pictures, you do need to get a spare battery just in case. Beside this, I just love this camera!

Bought this camera last year, the photo quality is good.

The big problem with this camera is that the battery life is soooo low. This camera kills and drinks battery. I have spend almost £20 in less than 6 months on battery alone. I have use Nikon D40 which had a wonderful battery life. I think I will be going back to Nikon D40 or D60.

I have had the Fuji Finepix J10 for about a week now. I take a lot of car and beach pics but I am an amateur. The menu system is easy to use and has just about the perfect amount of features for me. I see a lot of complaints about limited features but hey, it's a $100 point and shoot camera. Professionals would never be using it anyway. The people that would be using it are most likely people just like me. The camera is easy to understand and the pics are of excellent quality. My last camera was a Vivitar and the one before that was a Cannon. Both were highly featured and incredibly complex to use for even basic photography. The pics werent any better even when taken by friends that are knowledgable about photography. Plus I never used 90% of the features anyway. They were just in the way. I recommend the Fuji Finepix J10 highly for non professionals like myself that want a solid point and shoot camera.

I've had this camera for about a day now. I've taken shots indoors, outdoors, macro, landscape, good light, low light, and more. This camera performs pretty well. True to the nature of Fuji compacts, it boasts simplicity. Once you've got a pair of batteries in it and have completed a couple initial settings, this camera is ready to point and shoot right out of the box. It's also very quick. You can power it on, autofocus, take a shot, let it record, and then power it off all in a total of roughly 7-8 seconds. Also, one of the reasons I chose to go with this camera is the shutter lag is almost non-existent. If you want a camera that's pretty close to the instantaneous feel of taking snapshots with a film camera, this is about as close as you're going to get in this price range. It has a very "instant capture" feel to it.

Image quality is pretty good. In this area you really get what you pay for. I've been impressed with some of the detail I can get in my macro shots. I uploaded a couple examples (the cat and the soda can), both of which were taken without a tripod in indoor lighting. Color and saturation seem to come out about right as well. While this camera comes nowhere close to what you can get out of a DSLR or some larger lens point and shoots, for a $100 compact it's entirely acceptable and I have no real complaints. To round out the good features of this camera, it also has a pretty sleek look to it and is fairly light and compact for its class.

However, this camera isn't perfect. For only $110, it doesn't need to be, hence still giving it a five star rating. But it does have a few small issues. The mechanism for covering the battery/SD card compartment seems a little questionable and finicky. It's a bit awkward to close when the batteries are in and I'm worried that over time it might malfunction because of this. Also, as far as I've been able to tell so far, the camera appears to lack in-software filters such as black & white and sepia. If they are there, they're not very easy to find. Finally, the build quality doesn't seem to be anything special, mostly/all plastic. But again, for $110, it doesn't need to be superior.

Overall, I'd have to say this camera is great value for the money. The almost non-existent shutter lag is a huge plus, the image quality is good, and it performs exactly as it should for the price. It's a quick and easy compact digital camera and it's relatively affordable. If you're looking for the perfect camera, I'd suggest raising your budget and going for something a little nicer. But if you just want something for casual snapshots, or to compliment your DSLR, this Fuji A610 is a fine option.

UPDATE 1/11/2009: I've had this camera for over a year and a half now, and it's still working perfectly like the day I bought it.

I bought three, one for mom one for dad and one for me. I have a larger Nikon but wanted something more portable and easy to use. I liked the Fuji, the controls are easy to use, it has enough functions to satisfy most useers and it's small enough to put easily in your pocket.

Unfortunately, while sitting on a couch the camera dropped to the floor and the lens did not function after that. The hardware holding the lens is plastic and the mechanism extending the lens got jammed up.

It got sent back with minimal hassle, thanks Amazon!. I will replace it with another slightly more expensive camera.

Have not gotten a report from mom and dad yet, but I reviewed a lot of entry level cameras and this one looked great for older people looking for a digital camera that's easy to use.

I ordered this camera recently and found it to be a wonderful camera. Then the LCD looked like it had a crack in it even though we don't recall it EVER being dropped. Fuji says they won't fix it under warranty. They should have stood behind their product a little better rather than charging me $61 to fix the darn thing.

Originally, I had hoped to buy a digital SLR. I went to Jessops to some research and the assistant told me £300 for the lens I wanted, and £500 for the camera body! Way too rich. Then he showed me the S8100. This is such a versatile camera. It does almost anything an SLR can within the limitations of its lens. I wanted a camera that allowed me close ups. It does macro to 1cm. I have taken some amazing shots of a dragonfly, bees, hoverflies, flowers etc. I have taken shots at full zoom (18x) without a tripod and the results have been excellent.
I also wanted a camera that could take rapid pictures. My previous camera was so slow, that by the time it took the picture, the action was gone. Depending on your image quality setting this will rapidly rattle through a series of frames.
An added bonus is video with sound!
The expanded manual comes on CD. There are many features that allow the operator to control shutter speed, the ISO settings and other stuff I haven't even started considering yet.
It certainly does everything I want. It does need an expanded memory card. I use a 2GB and that gives over 800 shots at 10MP.
The Finepix viewer (ver.5.4) has expanded features over my previous version. It downloads quickly and gives more options for viewing folders.
If you are in the market for a state of the art compact camera, look no further.

I've had my camera for about five months and I'm still extremely pleased with it. It does everything for the novice using an SLR (like me!). Its both a point and shoot camera or if you can spend more time - it's also got enough options to keep you busy for ages! I've used it both inside and out, distant and macro shots and its just the best camera I've ever had!

I just got this camera. My current camera before I bought this one was a Fuji FinePix A303. I love the A303 and it takes great quality photos for the price I paid for the camera. The only reason I got the V10 was because it has more megapixels than my current camera and also because I liked the design with the large LCD screen and I assumed it would take even nicer photos being that it was a more recent model camera than the A303. After reading about it, it seemed to have a lot of great features and it got great reviews. When I got it I really loved the design and how easy it was to use but I must say I was not impressed by the quality of the photos. I don't know if maybe I got a damaged model but the photos are not turning out very good. I have the camera set on the highest quality setting and the photos are turning out kind of terrible with bad contrast and the clarity is very grainy-looking and the colors are awful. I was annoyed that my older A303, which is only 3.2 megapixels, is taking much better shots by comparison when set up on the tripod in the same setting and with the same lighting.

One complaint I have is that this camera has a built-in video game. As a consumer, I would rather a company focus on giving a top-quality product that does what it is designed to do. In this case, a camera that takes great photos. I don't appreciate them adding cost to the camera to add a feature I find useless. I have Nintendo DS if I want to play a hand-held video game. I bought the camera to take photos, which it doesn't do very well, because apparently the company would rather add the video game feature than a better sensor in the camera. Hmm.

edit: The camera stopped working only three months after I bought it. It would not power on with either the ac cord *or* the rechargable battery. I sent it to Fuji company for warranty repair. Their customer service stinks. They said repair would take about two weeks. I filled out the repair form in detail, including my email address, as they said would inform you when they received the camera and find what is wrong with it and keep you up to date on the repair process and when they'll ship it back to you. Two weeks passed. They never emailed me to let me know they received my camera so I called them to see how soon the camera would be finished being repaired and found they did not even register the camera had arrived (almost two weeks prior to my call). The customer service persona seemed annoyed and said someone probably forgot to register the camera had arrived and so no one had even started repairing it yet. Even though my name and address had been written clearly on the repair form they still somehow got it wrong when logging it into the computer. After they corrected all that, the camera was another two weeks being repaired before it was returned to me. When I received it back, it was not even completely repaired. It would only operate when plugged into the ac outlet and would not recognize there was even a battery installed, nor would the battery take a charge, even though the battery was brand new which had come with the three-month-old camera. Needless to say, my next camera will not be Fuji brand.

The camera is wonderful! It came out exactly as it looks on the website. I ordered it for my 11 year old daughter as a Christmas present and she loves it. She finds it very easy to use.
My problem is with the shipping. I ordered it as a Christmas present after reading all the wonderful reviews regarding their shipping. It took the FULL 10 days to arrive at my house. It did not make it in time for Christmas. Then when it did arrive, the box was soaking wet all the way through!!! It seemed as though someone dropped it in the ocean and then delievered it to my door. Everything in the box was soaked! Luckily the important things were wrapped in plastic bags.
With that said, I recommend the camera but allow plenty of time for delievery.

I've had this camera for about six months now and taken thousands of shots. A good basis for a review I would have thought !
In a few words,the Fuji Finepix S5800 is an absolute cracker ! I've just this very weekend filled up two SD cards full of mountain shots taken in the Lake District and I have to say,they are probably the best outdoor photographs I've ever taken. I also took some video footage which although not as sharply defined when viewed on a full screen,is quite acceptable.
The camera offers a multitude of shooting variables including manual over-ride although I generally just use the Auto/landscape/portrait in natural light and movie.
I compared it with shots taken by a professional photographer friend using an expensive Nikon digital SLR and the Finepix shots were just as good !
I can't believe it's down to eighty four quid....that's an absolute steal.
Highly recommended.

Received the case in good condition. Camera fits into case easily, leather is of good quality. The case will protect the camera from scuffing but would not trust in an impact situation. Case relies on cameras own straps which locate in the top cover very well.

Not to certain on how to retain case when camera is in use but would buy again to keep camera in as new condition.

small size and good pic quality make this a decent camera for family use.

deal Breakers:

MOVIES have terrible sound. constant mechanism noise and audio recording is very quiet. other reviewers had similar problems. also, you cannot adjust zoom while filming; have to stop, zoom, start

MACRO mode is a joke. don't even try to take product photos with this camera! i was spoiled by my old fuji S5500 (lost) which took AMAZING "super macro" shots

Sweeteners:

Very fast power-on time and good speed between shots (roughly 1.5 seconds)

particularly great "sports" mode. with flash, sports mode cannot capture motion blur no matter how hard you try! a dozen or so other modes such as "baby" "museum" "beach" "fireworks" etc. are kind of fun but haven't seen much actual use.

If you are in the hunt for a great camera, do your research and don't be fooled by reviewers who try to steer you solely to the big names in the camera world. I went back and forth on camera selections for months. Just remember this, the proof is in the pudding. And, after looking at pictures posted on websites by other reviewers on Amazon, I made the plunge. I started shooting pictures with my new camera right out of the box and couldn't be more happier with the S100fs. The lens alone is worth over three hundred dollars. With the rebate, I got it for for five thirty. Already taken over three hundred pics. Now that I have time, I will dig in and learn all this camera has to offer because I am certain I haven't even come close to using all the bells and whistles that this baby offers. Solid Performer. Technological Marvel. Great Price!

I'm not going to get into a lot of specific's. Those have been cited by others already. I have several digital camera's, including Canon D30 and a Nikon D40x. This camera will give those well advertised cameras a real run for the money, and in most cases, will shoot better than the ones I just cited. I've now shot just under 7,000 photos. Those photos have covered the spectrum, i.e., portraits, scenic, sporting events, etc. They have turned out extremely well. I took several photos with the Nikon and the Fuji S100fs. Both were on tripod's and the photographs were of the same subjects. Overall the Fuji outshot the Nikon. The Nikon, in several of the shots, suffered slight blurriness. And yet a couple of the shots were very good. Overall ALL of the Fuji shots were very good. Couldn't be much better. That also includes taking photos using the telephoto lens at 400mm. You can't believe the detail in those shots. It's extraordinary.

I do have an issue with the comment about battery life. So far I'm averaging roughly 300 photos to a battery. There have been times when I've shot 400 or so on a battery. I don't know how much you expect from a battery, but for me I'm very happy with the results so far. I also have two backup batteries. I have additional batteries for all of my cameras. Not to do so could be limiting yourself.

Look, the bottom line is this. If you want a great camera, that cost less than most DSLR's then give this a try. Otherwise look for something else. It's that simple. You make choices all your life about this-n-that, and this is no different. Personally, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I found the case lived up to the advert details when I searched for a camera case to suit finepix S1000fd,for a sensible price I found the case to be ideal in every way and would recommend it to anyone needing protection for their camera plus storage for some items required as spares
should they be needed ie:batteries/sd cards.

Easy to use straight out of the box. Very easy to transfer pictures to my computer as it has a built in card reader.

I am very ignorant about cameras and pictures, but I point it and shoot and everyone that counts says the pictures are great, which is a great result for the money spent.

I am still on the same batteries after nearly two months of lots of Happy Snaps so that's good too.

Sorry there's not much technical info here, but as you can tell, I'm not a technical person, but I can tell you that this seems like a good camera for someone who knows nothing and just wants to take some nice clear pictures of things he wants to remember.

The Finepix Z5 is an excellent super-compact point-and-shoot digital, with, of course, some serious limitations. I got it mostly because I wanted an inconspicuous (no extending lens-also equals more longevity) candid camera I could carry in my pocket. It works well for that, although sometimes the cover slides open in my pocket..no matter, go into the Setup and make sure it shuts itself OFF after 2 minutes!
The image quality is very good for such a small sensor, even up to ISO 800, and there's also an ISO 1600 under the F button, but that's pretty much "emergency use only". There aren't a lot of manual settings for this little camera either, but if you meter around the highlights and use a -1/3 to -2/3 exposure compensation setting you can do well in most lighting situations. There's also the nice Fujifilm "Natural and Flash" setting that let's you see flash and non-flash photos side by side, and the Chrome setting for more vivid colors. The flash has limited range, but does OK within that range-I don't use flash unless I have to anyway. I do miss having an optical viewfinder, as some of the ultracompact Sonys have, but I wasn't willing to pay twice as much for a Sony. All in all, this is a good and super-portable little camera.

I would just like to echo what already has been said in most of the reviews. I have never owned an SLR type camera before and know very little about photography, but after reading up and practicing with this it has made taking photos a lot of fun its not that hard to get your head around all the functions, I have already tried most of the settings and all work a treat, close up with macro is great and landscape gets a good wide angle I also got the opportunity to use the fire work settings and they turned out fantastic, the zoom is very impressive but best to have it on a tripod for this as any shaking puts it out of focus, the setting for moving targets also works great, my manual also came in English very useful for a novice like myself, I have also just uploaded images to show how a beginner can take very decent shots.

This is a great outdoors camera. If you want to take great pictures of people outside, this is your camera. It takes great portrait pictures outdoors. It takes GREAT super macro shots of flowers and other nature. The super macro shots are really astonashing. The level of detail is extreme. It's easy to view the screen in the sun, even on it's lowest brightness. The dSLR body is nice for people with big hands or who like the feel of a dSLR.

Now, when it comes to inside...the pictures are blurry (even when on dual-stabilization). I couldn't take a clear picture of my niece (3 1/2 years old), my nephews (2 years old), or any of my dogs indoors. They were all blurry, even with flash. It takes fairly quick pictures indoors, but for some reason they are all blurry (and I've played around with the settings). And the white balance inside is not true-to-life, and changing the white balance settings doesn't seem to help. The strap won't stay attached to the camera very long, which is getting kinda annoying. And there is no way to just view your pictures without having the camera come on, the lens come out, and the lens cover have to come off, and that gets a little annoying.

If you are going to predominantly take pictures indoors then consider another camera, or consider buying a more inexpensive Sony point-and-shoot camera for your indoor pictures. (my fiance' has a nice Sony T-70 point-and-shoot that was inexpensive and takes great quick (and non-blurry) indoor pictures) But if you love taking pictures of nature or people outdoors, then this is your camera, because it is great.

The camera is very good. The Zoom could be better and I was tempted to get the x18 zoom model, but I was told that the picture was not as good as this machine. Picture wise, this Camera is very good. As good as my old Kodak 5 mega pixel camera of 5-years ago. The only down side with this camera is the practicality of the LCD display which gets easily covered in finger prints due to its prominent position: its hard to keep it clean! I think later model have smaller LCD screens which, in this camera is unnecessarily large. But if you like large LCDs on cameras - then this is a perfect buy.
