The pictures are nice and detailed with very little noise when I was editing. There were initial issues with indoor lighting and yellow glow but this was acceptable after the sensor normalised after a few seconds. The laminated flooring probably made the problem worse.
Zoom was (almost too) responsive and after taking time getting used was able to track my daughter and antics very quickly. It also gave me the opportunity to take natural scenes and poses (try getting a toddler to smile for the camera) without sticking the lens in her face.
At this price you get a lot of camera and specification for your money. The 15X optical zoom is something most cameras don't even approach. However framing the picture comes with a lot of practice so I recommend some playing around time before expecting to get good results more than half the time. (the reason why i am reviewing now). Manual and digital antishake helps a lot but takes a longer time between click and picture taken.
This is a great camera for
1) training for your eventual SLR
2) not being fussed on carrying about lenses.
3) a bit more oomph than your point and click.
4) having an HD recording option.
There are newer cameras, faster cameras and probably better picture cameras (the latest Lumix series comes to mind to encompass all these features). But definitely none put together quite as well as this package and at this price. A little hint, Fuji cameras go down in price fairly quickly and increasingly better offers will do the rounds especially during festive periods. I think orignal RRP was around 299 pounds.
No carry case but my order included tv connectivity. For completeness, reading the trustedreview commentary (most comprehensive)of this camera, full zoom can cause some convex bulging of straight lines (eg roads) in a picture. For my everyday use it isn't an issue.
Sigma lenses. This camera provides at least 2 to 3 ways to accomplish most tasks and
you can tailor controls and settings to suit your needs and preferences.
I am also pleased with corp. product support from Fuji. The seller
provided prompt delivery and satisfactory assistance.
The image stabilization, dynamic range expansion, equivalent zoom range of 28-800mm (including digital) and high resolution are giving me the best pictures I have ever taken.
My favorite settings:
aperture priority or manual (right next to each other on the knob)
color: high
tone: hard
ISO: 400
Dynamic expansion: 400% (requires ISO 400)
The dynamic expansion really improves the brightness capture range. I guess this what they used to call lattitude in film photography. I have definitely noticed fewer blown highlights and fewer blotchy, near-black areas.
Neat feature: if you're in aperture priority and decide to go manual, it's just one click away on the mode knob and your aperture choice is automatically carried over to manual. The metering switches to a very convenient slider that lets you instantly compare your settings with what the meter is predicting. This feature essentially lets you intuitively set exposure compensaion in a visual way without fooling with a separate button or function.
I've never had a camera with image stabilization. Wow. Handheld shots with telephoto, pulling the neckstrap tight, really surprised me.
Fuji wisely moved the 2 and 10 sec self timers out of the menu and right on the 4-way selector, so when you're doing tripod work, you make 2 clicks and hit the shutter to make hands off shots. I do this a lot so this was a major productivity enhancement.
I'm finding that I use the extra zoom much more than I had anticipated. You can get very personal head-and-neck pictures of people, instead of the usual head-to-waist shots, without getting so physically close to them that you artificially change their behavior.
Being able to zoom while taking a movie produces results good enough that I haven't bothered to buy a video camera.
The tilting LCD makes it easy to get low and high angle shots. When taking a movie, you can put the camera on your tripod, tilt the LCD down, and hold the camera way up in the air while still being able to see the framing.
I especially like how you can set the focus to manual, yet still hit the autofocus button to preset and lock the focus at a certain point. If you also set the exposure in manual, there's nothing left for the camera to calculate when you hit the shutter and response time is quite fast.
There is so much extra resolution available, that you can easily crop out very useful photos from inside the full frame without worrying about losing detail. Even when you use the digital zoom, you're still getting 800mm of zoom at 5 megapixels! One of the first things I do in post processing is resize and throw away excess content, unless I anticipate using the image for a poster print. My favorite way to get a panorama is to zoom out, then crop the top n bottom out of the image.
I use one glass filter, a Hoya Moose's warming circular polarizer. I picked up a 67 to 77mm step-up ring and use Cokin P series filters.
Definitely get a coupla spare batteries. There's one seller here on Amazon that sells 2 packs of higher capacity than Fuji's battery.
I think the SDHC 8GB, class 6 cards are the way to go. I got a couple, and one with a bundled reader, as I can't just pop them in my computer like the XD cards. Scads of video recording time.
WalMart sells a camcorder case (made by Extreme) that is a perfect fit for this camera, holding the camera sideways with the memory card access door up, and pockets to hold batteries, charger, cables, and even room for a minipod and a cut down piece of Kodak grey/white card. I have the polarizer, Fuji lens hood, and the dustcap all on the camera and it still fits snugly in the case. It also will hold the original Moose filter box.
I realize that full-fledged DSLR's could take better pictures, but you'd probably have to spend over 5 times the cost of this camera (including lenses) to do better and still have to hassle of carrying everything and changing lenses. Don't forget the dust patrol, too.
Regards,
Mark
There is a firmware update from 1.0 to 1.1 on the Fuji site that is supposed to fix LCD display issues (I wasn't aware of any!), but easy to apply via a memory card, there are instructions on Fuji site. Check your version by holding 'Display/Back' button whilst powering up.
Other good features? flash is surprisingly powerful for its size, but not super quick to recharge, adequate would be fair.
It takes AA batteries which makes sourcing emergency power easy, with an 8gb card on full resolution its got room for 1500+ pictures so you use it a lot, best to sort out the good shots later.
I use Nimh rechargeables and as someone else mentioned the battery warning monitor is rubbish! it comes on massively too soon, even with fresh high powered nimh batteries it comes on after a few flash pictures, just IGNORE it and carry on. The camera doesn't care, recharge when your ready not when the camera says so. You will be fine.
Colour can be slightly flat in some lights so I tend to leave mine on the Fuji chroma setting rather than standard as I prefer its boost.
You can get a tiny IR remote trigger control (compatible not Fuji) if your kit doesn't include one, off well known Auction sites for a few quid works fine at 10 to 24 feet and means Dad can be in the pictures too without faffing with timers.
Can't think of anything else to add just now, but if your looking to make the step up from a compact without carrying a crate of bits and lenses around, want a good auto mode to get you started then you have found the perfect choice. Will it make you a better photographer? well your not supposed to say this but yes! It will encourage new interest in what your doing and with the zoom make you more aware of things like framing of your subject in the shot and so on, leading to more thoughtfully arranged shot. Its speed will give you new access to action shots too.
Highly recommended.
Good product.
When going to put my Fujifilm Finepix F47fd on charge, I came to realise the charger in no way took either the battery nor did the in car charger cable fit into the camera itself.
Completely the wrong item for my camera, even though the description states it charges F47fd cameras.
Wish I had tried it out sooner so I could have refunded the item.
It was a great price for a camera charger but unfortunately, does not do what it says on the tin!
grew and was hard to control. My camera brand was Nikon with models of D70s,
D50, D40, D80 and D90. I finally changed to Fuji S9000. Then 7 months ago
a Fuj S100fs came into my life and didn't have to change lenses anymore. Nikon
was fine, but this camera suited me even better. It is the only one of this
brand that I can find the battery level on the LCD constantly; plus it has a
fully written manual. This one is best for me. Bravo Fuji!
I started 35mm film photography in junior high - a long, long time ago, and have used several Leicas and several Nikon "F" series film cameras, and for the past few years, compact digital cameras (my favorite being the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX series for its native 16:9 image ratio). I wanted to minimize hauling around six to eight primary lenses and the attendant lens changing as much as possible. This camera serves my purposes for most of the photos that I take, and I suspect those of most people.
The f/2.8-5.6 27-400 mm lens (35mm equivalent) is very good - for a "superzoom" really good, and fits comfortably on the camera body. I had found that the Nikon 18-200 mm (27-300mm 35mm equivalent) f/3.5-5.6 seemed too big for the Nikon 40/40x/60 series cameras, which in turn, seemed too small for my hands. The design of all lens, and especially "superzooms", are compromises, and this one is no exception. The dpreview gave the F100FS a Recommended rating, and apparently it missed the Highly Recommended rating primarily due to noticeable color fringing under test conditions. For the size of photos I take, even up through 8 x 10, to date color fringing has been of no concern. Where I enlarged some images on my Mac and specifically looked for it, it was easily removable in PhotoShop (unfortunately Abobe's PhotoShop Elements does not seem to contain the necessary module). Optical image stabilization works well.
From my photos to date, image resolution has been very good to excellent - certainly through ISO 800 and through ISO 1600 unless one is super critical. I shot at ISO 3200 at a graduation ceremony under very poor lighting conditions, and was far from the stage. The resulting photos were quite acceptable - not great but considerably better than any one else in the group obtained that night. Image color under good lighting is accurate and can be "tweaked" through menu entries, as desired. Using automatic white balance, color under poor lighting is variable. At the graduation noted earlier, some images had very good color and some needed a little work in PhotoShop.
Function buttons on the camera body are similar to those on a DSLR camera, are minimal in number, and reflect functions that are actually useful in taking the photos without having to enter the menus, and the menus themselves are quite well laid out. Three buttons especially are appreciated: the ability to change the ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation by single purpose buttons, and a toggle button to change manually between the view finder and the LCD. The light metering methods can be selected from a dial on the back of the camera. The tiltable LCD is quite usable. Other incorporated "must haves" are listed in the Amazon S100FS product description.
Since I don't use the Fuji software, I cannot comment.
This "cross over" camera should be judged against other "superzooms", both compact and entry level DSLRs with comparable lenses. Given that the Nikon 18-200 mm (27-300mm 35mm equivalent) f/3.5-5.6 alone is about the same cost as the Fuji S100FS camera, the S100FS should be considered by anyone interested in a very good camera with a superzoom lens that is easy to use and takes really good pictures under a wide variety of conditions. Yes, it can be used on "automatic", but the camera has more capabilities than just "automatic". The manual is pretty good, and the more advanced capabilities can be learned "bit by bit", as needed.
Added 19 June 2008. Like a "compact" digital camera, the S100FS LCD is available full time. DSLR cameras with their mirrors are not available "full time" as a framing tool. The tilting LCD make it even more useful to visualize the image from various angles. While I prefer to use the eyepiece to frame most images (using the eyepiece usually provides a sturdier hand hold), the always active LCD is really useful under some conditions.

The only faults I've found with are: the annoying push-on lens cap which I would have replaced with a UV filter if it had a threaded lens barrel and the maximum shutter speed of 4 secs (I enjoy taking astro pics and it's not long enough).
All-in-all, a terrific piece of kit for its price which I'd recommend to anyone.
