Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Fujifilm Instax Mini 12

I was a little worried to buy this product because I was buying it for my GE X500 but it's perfect! Better than I expected! The case is very durable, has an optional strap, a front pocket and an adjustable divider inside! The rechargeable batteries are great too! They recharge in 2 hours! The tripod is a little small as shown in the picture but is still good for the price. And the SD card reader is ultra slim and compatible with both Macs and PCs! It also comes with 2 screen cleaning cloths and 3 universal screen guards! All in all great product and great price!

JUST GOT THIS TODAY ALREADY HAD A PLAY AS I AM INTERESTED IN TAKING UP PHOTOGRAPHY AND ITS REALLY GOOD,WELL HAPPY

The quality is good for the price. I was not fond of the menu, but the pictures turned out pretty well most of the time.

I had mine for a couple years. I got it while my regular camera - a Canon A95 - was getting repaired (can't miss a month of baby pictures).

I liked the small size - similar to a deck of cards. I ended up dropping it on my porch while the lens was out, and that's what killed it. My fault. It took pretty good pictures. I always had to use the flash (unless it was outdoors on a very bright day). I was happy with most of the pictures it took - the colors were not entirely accurate, all of them were "warm" but they weren't washed out and they weren't blurry (so long as I used the flash). I have a Canon PowerShot SX20IS and a Canon PowerShot A2200 - and, on the fly, this camera takes much better pictures than either of them. (With a lot of set up, the SX20IS takes much better pictures, but the auto mode is junky - it cost 3x the J10).

The similarly priced A2200 takes abysmal pictures. I REALLY regret breaking my J10.

Great camera that I had a few years back, excellent quality photos. The only downside is that you cannot change the lens, but I knew this before buying but still a good beginner. It was my 1st semi DSLR so was great stepping stone for me before purchasing my Canon 600d

The seller's delivery was fast, and their description correct. However, other reviewers say it is a hard case. NOT SO. The case is soft inside, and my fuji finepix z90 fits perfectly, but i would describe the case as stiff but flexible.

The fuji z90 turns on if the little button by the screen is pressed and held. Well, my fuji turned on (i heard the activation beep) while being carried inside this case, which was itself inside a small belt-mounted pack. (I accidentally squeezed the pack against a steering wheel while getting out of a car.) The camera will turn off automatically after a time out, but that unnecessarily drains the battery.

So this case does not suit the purpose for which i bought it - to prevent accidental activation while being carried in my belt-pack.

I recently received Butterfly's photo bag and accessories bundle kit. Not only was it everything I expected, it was more. They threw in extras not on the listing. The bag fit my camera perfectly, and the extras they threw in were useful and appreciated. For the money, it's a heck of a good buy, for anyone with a camera, digital or otherwise. When you order, be sure to tell them what camera you're buying it for, so the fit of the bag is perfect. They tossed in a free lens cap, and view screen protector sheets. Both were quite useful. Any extras you get will depend on the camera and availability. The service is top notch, and the phone reps are very knowledgeable. You won't find a better deal or better, faster service anywhere. In this era of cheap products, and no customer service, it's a great pleasure to receive high quality products and great customer service. I can't say enough about this company, even if I could, you wouldn't believe it, it would be so superlative, nobody would. Whether you need this kit, or single items, deal with them first, it'll also be the last place you have to deal with because they'll satisfy your needs.

I've been using DSLRs for 4 years now, but have primarily been an Olympus (four-thirds) user. I love the system for its lenses and feature packed bodies at lower price points. However, the one area where 4/3s always had an issue was high ISO and DR; when I read about the S5 Pro, it seemed like the "magic bullet", resolving both these issues at once.

For starters, I used the camera for a month and compared it to my Olympus E30 to see if I was really gaining anything substantial. After much assessment I decided to keep my E-30 and sell off the S5 Pro. Without belabouring the point, let me get down to the pros and cons,

PROS:
1. Excellent build quality
2. Great ergonomics
3. Phenomenal DR in JPEGs and highlight headroom in RAW files.
4. Very nice and pleasing colours.
5. WB is generally very accurate.

CONS:
1. High ISO noise is no better than the Olympus E-30.
2. Noise reduction in JPEGs is very aggressive.
3. Resolution is not equivalent to 12MP, the E-30 easily bests it.
4. Colours and skin tones, although pleasing are more suited to Caucasian skin.
5. Menu system is very complicated.
6. Playback and image zoom require too many button presses.
7. Battery life is low.
8. If DR is left on 'Auto', the camera slows down.
9. RAW files too large and best used with native software only.
10. Native software doesn't support DNG.

Olympus fixed a lot of issues with the E-30 and it really shows when comparing it to the S5 Pro; yes, the S5 has phenomenal amounts of highlight headroom that the E-30 can never come close to, but this is useful only when you constantly shoot in very high DR scenes or get the exposure wrong (overexpose).

In terms of colour, I think both the E-30 and S5 are neck and neck, although when using higher ISOs, the E-30 seems to retain colour better. This seems to happen because of the fact that as you ramp up the ISO, after a certain point the R pixels are turned off and only the S pixels are used. Also, this variance in colour is more visible when using a RAW converter other than Hyper-Utility or Finepix viewer, clearly the S5 is best used only with it's native software. This is a big minus for me as I use LR for all my cataloguing and RAW processing.

The S5 files are uncompressed and huge, so they are best managed when converted to DNG, however this means neither Hyper-Utility nor Finepix viewer can process these files for you. Also, when processing files in LR, the colours vary a lot from ISO to ISO, which means, if you plan on using LR/ACR, you are better of building your own colour profiles for different ISOs under different lighting conditions, this is a tedious affair.

To summarize, the S5 Pro is a camera that offers superior highlight headroom, DR and colours straight out of the box and is an excellent tool for photographers that don't like spending too much time processing and colour correcting RAW files. However, in my opinion, the unmatched highlight headroom in the RAW files is the only thing which differentiates the S5 from today's cameras. Cameras like the Olympus E-30 produce excellent colours, good DR and are getting better at high ISO as well. Also, when you consider the bloated selling price of these cameras, it only makes sense to consider more current options in the market which may serve you just as well or maybe even better.

I ordered this for my Fuji X100 & one for my X10 (correct, but different one for each of course. Had this for over a year now - NO COMPLAINTS very satisfied.

I've owned this camera for about a month now, and am generally very happy with my purchase - especially given the price I paid for it, which was $290. Of course, nothing in life is perfect - there are a few things I'm not too thrilled about. I'm really only a learner with respect to photography, so professionals and experienced amateurs may not find my opinions too useful.

Things I really like:

The zoom - This is really amazing, and I don;t think you can get much better than this in a compact camera. I've been able to get really good close up shots of distant subjects. The problem of course is camera shake - if possible, use a tripod; if not, try to stabilise yourself in whatever way you can. I prefer to use the electronic viewfinder when using high zoom - I find it helps to stabilise the camera. Also, take many attempts at your zoom shots - without a tripod, many will be blurred, but you might get a few that are good.

The continuous shooting mode - I love this.... In this mode, you can take a series of shots of moving action, in a matter of a couple of seconds, just by holding the button down - excellent for sports. The problem with this is that when you review your pictures, you lose this setting, and have to go through the menu again to set it for continuous shooting. Also, it takes a few seconds after you finish a series of shots to save the pics, so you can't take any more shots in that time.

The natural light mode - I love the way this mode keeps the colour and produces high quality pics. It's particularly designed, I think, for less than ideal lighting conditions, but I find it works well in bright light too. In lower light, of course, there is the possibility of blur if your subject or the camera moves. That said, I think I take most of my pics in this setting.

Macro and Super-Macro modes - I get amazing close up shots with these modes!!! Possibly the camera's best feature!

The range of settings and modes - There are so many different things you can do with this camera that are so much more versatile than the basic compact camera (though I guess this is true of most cameras of this sort). Changing the ISO, colour saturation, white balance, different flash settings, etc, etc. I find myself shooting the same scene over and over in different settings to find which is the best. As a result I take A LOT of pictures.... But it's all fun! And I usually end up with some really good shots.

Things I really DON'T like:

The software - the Fuji software is slow, and takes up all my computer's processing power. Perhaps with a better computer this wouldn;t be a problem, but my computer does everything else I need to do as fast as I want it to... But running this software means I can't do anything else at the same time, and it takes ages to do anything. I've taken to using Picasa to edit my pics instead. On the plus side, the software saves the info on the settings used in taking the picture, so you can review your pics and work out what you;ve done wrong and what works best.

The menus - I find the menus to be rather complex and not particularly intuitive. This means when I want to try certain things, I have to spend a fair amount of time searching for the function I want. I guess as I get accustomed to the camera, though, this will be less of a problem.

Limited exposure time - the maximum length of exposure seems to be 4 seconds. I find this kind of limiting - with my old camera (Kodak DX7440 - a very decent camera in my opinion) - I could get exposure times up to about half a minute, and maybe more. I'm rather disappointed at this, though of course, the camera still takes very good night time shots.

Things I am having some difficulty/problems with:

Low light conditions, moving subjects, especially in combination with the zoom. I think this is probably the most difficult sort of shot I've tried to take. I find that I get some combination of underexposed, blurred, grainy shots, no matter what settings I use. If the subject is stationary it's not a problem - I use the night settings, and get very good results. This is something I am working on... Of course, if you WANT to get blurred shots, using the night setting can produce some interesting effects.

I've recently found that the electronic viewfinder sometimes goes a bit funny... I get white streaks across the image from one side, and sometimes the image is shifted a bit to the side too. This seems to happen particularly when I've been using the camera continuously for a longish while - like an hour or so. Switching off and then on again fixes it temporarily, but it tends to come back after a few minutes. It doesn;t seem to happen with the LCD, and I don;t think it's been affecting the quality of the pictures, so I think it's a problem with the viewfinder itself. I've been wondering if th

I have had this camera for a few years and I have only had problems with it.

The picture quality is horrible. It is a task to get a picture that is not blurry if it doesn't have the flash on, which is very overpowering and makes everything dark behind the object in the picture.

The battery life sucks. It could be fully charged and when I turn it on to take some pictures it constantly shuts off because the battery is supposedly low.

Before windows 7, you had to use the finepix program to get the pictures off the camera which was a pain. Now it is easier thankfully.

I would not buy this camera...it was a very big disappointment to me.

Charges batteries fast and comes with 2 batteries and a car adapter. A must have if you own a model camera that uses this battery. I use them in my Fujifilm F70EXR and they work great.

I didnt know this kit even existed until I got a UV cover for my Fuji. I am very pleased with the entire kit. For a decent price I have been able to practice and use a Fisheye lens, for instance. The only thing missing from making the kit complete was a Wide Angle lens, which I picked up seperately, but having this kit put me at a point that completed my enesemble. All lenses came with the correct adapter rings, and even two extra!

This case is just the right size for my camera and I have room for an extra battery and memory card as well.

Bought these batteries as back up to the one I received with my camera. Two and a charger for such a great price. They worked so well I bought some for my sisters camera too. Had to exchange hers because I ordered the wrong size and Blue Nook was very easy to deal with for the return. Definitely would recommend the seller and the Wasabi products!

Only charged up once, used the camera for a few photo,s and it went dead, so Icharged the battery again and now dead as a dodo

While all digital cameras have their strengths and weaknesses, some are heavier on strengths than others. Until very recently I found Canon cameras were always a safe bet; I've shot Canon almost exclusively for over 30 years. But the last couple of Canons I bought left me feeling some frustration and disappointment. Never thought I'd be saying it, but there it is.

Before purchasing the Fuji, I read many online professional and user reviews (including the ones here) and downloaded and viewed hundreds of sample images at the pixel level. I read about the purple fringing and soft corners problematic with this camera, and I saw some of that in the samples. But in my research I also found a lot of good stuff that made the camera a very attractive d-SLR alternative. And so I hoped that the trade-off would be worth it. Namely better dynamic range, color accuracy and usable images taken at higher ISOs.

I'm so pleased to report that this camera delivers on all counts. Dynamic range is the best of all the CCD-sensor cameras currently marketed. And images taken at ISO 800 are cleaner, sharper and more color accurate than the images taken with my Canon SX10 at ISO 80 and 100. There really is no comparison. Fuji wins, hands down! When I auto-adjust a Fuji image in Adobe Photoshop CS3, oftentimes there's no change at all. Pictures are spot-on, straight from the camera.

Unexpected surprises were less barrel distortion at extreme wide angle and incredibly fine resolution. I can crop images to approximate the 560mm of optical zoom in the SX10 with no reduction at all in detail. In fact, the Fuji crops are clearer than the full frames from the SX10. This is due to a less aggressive approach to noise suppression and the way that Fuji has arranged the pixels on the sensor.

Focusing is both quick and accurate. Colors are pleasing in the film simulation modes as well as standard mode. Shutter lag is lower than average, even in low lighting and poor contrast conditions. The macro modes require some work to eke out the best from subjects, but when I get it right--wow!

Canon superzooms have spoiled me with their articulating LCDs. The LCD on the S100fs, while not as versatile as a 180-degree swiveling one, is very usable and makes easy work of ground, waist level and over-the-head shots. The LCD is easy to see even outdoors thanks to the brightness adjustment feature.

The only areas where the Fuji really lags behind are in its review mode and shooting and review menus. Canon and others have the edge here--reviewing images with the Fuji is clunky and slow, and deleting images requires three button presses followed by a rather long pause while the image is erased. It's a pretty primitive procedure compared to late-model cameras of other major brands, and Fuji could take some pointers in these regards.

Battery life is short at 250 shots per charge; I really prefer rechargeable AA power, which is nearly always longer-lived than proprietary batteries. It helps a lot, though, that the battery recharges very rapidly. I've picked up three extras to make sure I'm good to go for a full day in the field, so no worries!

For this photographer, at least, the last word is image quality. And where it matters most Fuji is the clear winner, strutting head and shoulders above its competition. Yes, there is occasional purple fringing, but it is only troublesome in the most extreme contrast scenes and at certain combinations of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Happily, this kind of image is the exception and not the rule and can be dealt with pretty effectively in Adobe Camera Raw. And, anyway, to my eye, purple fringing is not quite as distracting as the royal blue, green, bright red and yellow fringing that plagues some of the SX10 images.

Fuji Finepix S100fs will be a hard act to follow. RAW imaging, excellent image quality and great performance make this camera a clear winner. It's easy to see why it earned the TIPA Gold Award for 2008!

The remote works well, but there were problems making it work. The instruction sheet is inadequate, especially regarding fitting the battery with correct polarity. Full marks to Amazon technical support who are patient, resourceful and unfailingly courteous!

I got this for a Fujifilm W-3 camera, an energy hog among digital cameras. This brought my supply of batteries for this camera from three to five. On a recent trip during which I took approximately 1,200 pictures, all five batteries got used and charged at least once. The two Wasabi batteries performed at least as well as the other three (the other three including the original that came with the camera and two other brands). One the trip, it took both the Wasabi charger and the Fuji charger to keep up with the camera's energy needs. The Wasabi charger performed just as well as the Fuji charger. The multi-color LED is a nice touch, glowing red when you first plug it in to charge a battery, then orange, then finally green when the battery is fully charged.

This was one of two kits that I bought in the same purchase. I also bought a similar charger and two NP-60 batteries for another of my cameras (Aiptek 3D-HD), for which I am writing a similar review to this one. For any future purchases of chargers and Li-ion batteries for cameras, Wasabi will most likely be my first choice.

I don't give five-star ratings easily, but this product deserves it.

This is a perfect back-up for my FUJIFILM FinePix battery! I really can't see the difference between the FUJIFILM FinePix battery and the original. and this is much cheaper !!! Go and get one !

I've had this camera for 3 weeks and 1200 photos. So far I'm loving it. I also own the Sony HX-100V superzoom (highly regarded). I was looking for better Image Quality and more DSLR type features, along with the ability to go shooting without having to carry a camera bag with multiple lenses. This camera delivers on all points for me. I have not seen the Orbs issue or Lens Sag on mine. Great camera, It's no $5000.00 DSLR multiple lens setup but it's pretty good considering the price. All the online reviews I've read agree that this is one of the best superzoom's on the market today.

This camera is very thick and heavy. Not something I'd recommend taking walking around, compared to slimmer cameras.
The battery life is also horrible. I take a few photos a day, for a couple days, and the batteries need changing. I always have to take spare batteries while going out with this camera.
If it's really sunny out, the photos are over-exposed. Often get red eyes, even with the red eye reduction.
It's OK outside if it's not too sunny or too dark.
It takes horrible indoor photos, it's ALWAYS grainy.
The pictures never look like the scene they're captured in, no matter what setting you choose. (I've had problems with all of them)
I cannot take clear photos of up close things like jewelry and things like that. The photos come out fuzzy and blurry most of the time.
Don't even think about cropping photos, they're even more grainy than normal photos.
I paid $100 for this and it's not even worth that! There's tons of cameras on eBay for that price WAY better than this one.
I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA FOR ANYONE!

i have used the batteries and they last as long as the original fuji battery i have a fuji f770 exr i don't know alot about this stuff but i am happy with the performance and quality

I owned two other Fujifilm cameras prior to this purchase, a MX-1200 and a 2800Zoom -- both are still working fine today. Both are SmartMedia card cameras, and since SmartMedia cards are becoming increasingly difficult and more expensive by the day, it was time to upgrade. I reviewed every mid-range prosumer camera available, reading more reviews and looking at even more example pictures in the process. My choices eventually narrowed to the Canon SX10 IS and the Fujifilm S100FS. The SX 10 reminded me too much of my wife's Canon Powershot A590, except bigger. The Fujifilm is a true bridge camera having the feel and build of a DSLR, but the convenience of a fixed zoom lens permanently mounted to the camera body.

This is NOT a P&S camera -- if you want that, stay away from the S100FS and look at a Powershot. This camera handles more like a Nikon D60. All of the features packed inside the S100FS are too long to list here. Coupled that with a selling price in the low $400 range really makes it a bargain.

I cannot stress this enough -- read the owners manual carefully.

Following the quick start guide, I set the camera up. Once done, time to explore what this camera can do.

Started out taking pictures inside the house on Auto mode, which was very easy, but you will have purple fringing in high contrast areas of the frame, especially when there is lower light and the zoom set to wide angle. The fringing issue moderates when the flash is used, since the aperture is stopped down further. Switching to "A" aperture mode can eliminate many of the purple fringing issues, since you control the lens opening directly. That took about 40 pictures for me to completely understand this. Reading the owners manual carefully also helps.

That being said, I next experimented with the camera outside. At very wide angle zoom setting, the purple fringing issues appear, less apparent now that I shoot many pictures in "A" mode. Zooming out, the purple fringing is far less noticeable. Once you learn how to deal with it and compose the pictures better, not being tempted to use this camera as a point and shoot, your results are nothing short of spectacular.

Next, I shot some outdoor pictures in RAW format. RAW mode generates a 22.5 MB RAW file that is 5440 x 4080 in size when you use the Finepix Photo Viewer/RAF Converter program. Manipulation and conversion of a RAW image is painfully slow in this program, but the end result may be worth it, since the end JPEG file retains the 5440 x 4080 size and weighs in at just over 10 MB when saved in fine JPEG format. You have more detail in this file format than a regular JPEG saved in fine mode.

The lens used is very good and the image stabilization feature does work, better than other cameras I have used in the past. One hand held shot was my Comcast connection box some 45 feet away at full zoom. There was a yellow tag at the base of the box, which I could read the seal tag numbers in 100% crop mode. Curious, I tried that with the Canon -- not even a black line to show that numbers were even on the tag. Fuji has not diminished the quality there.

The purple fringing is the only real weak point I can see with the S100FS. I wished that Fuji, with all of their experience in making digital cameras and their history of film products, could have done something in the post shooting process firmware to lessen this effect like Panasonic P&S cameras. Be that as it may, working around this issue and some post shooting work in Photoshop with CA/PF plug-in's, all but the really bad purple fringing can be eliminated. Once you are past this point, the balance of the features, especially for the price, make this camera a real bargain as an upgrade to a near-DSLR in quality.

This battery charger and batteries are a very good buy from Amazon.They perform very well and are easy to keep in a small camera case with a small point and shoot camera.
