Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Fujifilm Instax Mini 12

I have only had the camera for a few weeks but have been very impressed with the results to date. The picture quality has been good and the small amount of video I have shot has been excellent. The zoom is a little jerky as stated by other reviewers but I guess that is only to be expected when there is a 15x range. The downside to making it slower and smoother would be the time taken to get from one end of the range to the other. The image stabilisation works very well even at the end of the zoom range and in relatively low light.

The technical details on Amazon stated that the camera has aperture priority mode but if that is the case I have yet to find it. This is a pity as the pre digital SLRs I used in the past always featured aperture priority so this is something I tend to prefer to shutter priority.

The camera is light and the controls are generally easy to use although to start with I did find myself pressing the wrong part of the central 'ring' control which meant nothing happened - a bit frustrating but should be okay from now on. Overall an excellent buy at the price which produces good results. Add aperature proiority and smooth the zoom a little and it would be a 5 star buy for me.

This is my fifth digital camera since 2000 and I think it is amazing. I have owned one other make in that time but pixel for pixel the results where far less impressive than the Fuji. I can't comment on reliability as I have only just taken delivery. First of all it may depend on what you want a camera for but what ever some people say or its technical spec, I can honestly tell you its performance is stunning. Maybe not on paper compared to SLR's, although the spec is impressive, but in the real world it's a winner. By the time you have changed your Len's on a SLR your subject has long gone. I seriously considered going back to SLR as I had used them for years and Pentax was my favourite, but unless you are a professional I think this camera makes the need for one superfluous. I have been told by a local camera shop owner that it actually does out perform many entry level SLR's. It's obviously not a compact but it beats lugging lots of lenses and ancillary equipment on coast paths or over moor land. Also it is competitively priced. I know someone who is still saving up for that £300 lens to go with his SLR and in the past year has missed many wonderful photo opportunities. Landscapes, capturing the mood at all times of year is my thing but also insects so full manual control is essential for me. Manual focus and shutter priority gives me the flexibility I need. To sum up this camera gives you the quality and performance all in one package to deliver satisfaction to all but the most picky of photographers. Well done Fuji, keep pushing the boundaries.

basically, this camera is a digital SLR 'wannabe' as you have around the same functions but without the need for several lenses.
15X zoom on the optical side is probably as much as you need on a digital and with the dual image stabilization the blurring is (almost) a thing of the past.
easy to use?...damn right, point and click on auto and get good results but if you feel a little adventurous there are plenty of settings to mess around with.
for the price and compared to other big zoom digitals (and possibly a lot of dedicated SLR digitals)this camera is well worth the money.
no one can argue at the ease of use and results, some pro camera men have even been well surprised at the quality.
oh, and the electronic viewfinder is probably one of the best out there which can be a huge bonus on bright days (or for those of us that struggle to see in focus)

where there is good, there is bad.
mainly, i have to follow on with the 'jerky' zoom complaint, it really can be a pain.
the USB/HD cover seems likely to break off after some use, care will be needed there as it is a little flimsy.

would still recommend to anyone looking for a good, all round camera that will do a more than capable job and give some extras to mess around with.

I am really pleased with this camera as for the vast majority of photos you would normally take the results are absolutely fantastic and of equal quality as my mates Nikon Digital SLR that set him back over £2000. Ok now for its limitations while it will take photos extremely quick in the contnuos shoot mode it then takes ages to save them which can be annoying and while the auto mode and the shake reduction modes are really good they are not perfect especially in less than perfect light. There are options for you to set the camera up as if it was a DSLR but the manual that comes with it doesn't reaaly give enough detail for you to be able to do this straight from the off and as auto works fine 95% of the time most users like me won't bother to play with mastering the set up. To summerise if like me you like a camera that you point and shoot and that will be able to shoot fast moving objects like cars at a race track and still give you really good quality pictures you aint gonna beat this one for this amount of money. But if like my mate you like to set up your own camera and really push the limits of a camera then no it probably aint for you.

AFTER A FAIR AMOUNT OF RESEARCH INTO SIMILAR CAMERA'S AT MORE THAN TWICE THE PRICE! CAME ACROSS THIS LITTLE GEM!
A WORK COLLEAGUE HAD THE S1500 PREVIOUS MODEL AND STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT,I CHOSE THIS FOR LATEST FEATURES INCLUDING HD CAPABILITY WAS A LITTLE CAUTIOUS ABOUT USING 4AA BATTERIES AS PREFER MAINS CHARGING,BUT IT REALLY IS ECONOMICAL EVEN FOR ALL ITS FUNCTION CAPABILITY,BEEN USED ALL OVER FESTIVE PERIOD STILL ON FIRST SET! EASY TO CARRY SPARE SET WHEN OUT OR STOP OFF AT ANY SHOP.
SANTA DELIVERED IT FOR MY PARTNER,A KEEN PHOTOGRAPHER WHO WANTED A BETTER CAMERA FROM HER PREVIOUS POINT AND SHOOTS TO DEVELOP HER INTEREST,THIS IS PERFECT FOR THAT; INDOOR,OUTDOOR,ACTION,LANDSCAPES AND PORTRAITS,WITH THE RECENT WEATHER GIVING SOME GREAT OPPURTUNITY TO TEST IT'S QUALITY WITH STUNNING RESULTS, IT TICKS ALL THE BOXES FOR HER AT THIS LEVEL GIVING VERY SATISFYING RESULTS AND AT SUCH A BARGAIN PRICE COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, A NO BRAINER, BROWNIE POINT EARNER!!!

have been very impressed with this camera, I am no David Bailey but this piece of kit produces excellent quality pictures and very simple and straight forward to use

I am very serious in everything that follows:

Over a course of four years, this camera has withstood more abuse than any camera should. I have literally run it over with my car at 40 mph on dirt... more than once. I have dropped it over a hundred times onto hard surfaces. The front faceplate looks like it has 3 bullet dents. The LCD screen has dust and hairs behind it. It is scratched so much you can't see scratches. It has been rained on, dropped in mud, and been literally thrown from a car traveling at 55 mph, sent into brush. It has been stuck with double sided tape to the back of a car doing 55 mph offroad. It was taped to the front of a motorcycle. It was held outside the window of a car doing 100 mph. It was held outside a car doing 70 mph in the rain. It was used in 0 degree flash freezes.

I never thought anything about Fuji... and now I can't imagine buying anything else. I simply cannot stress how great this camera is. It is not a shockproof camera--but it has earned the title!

Don't believe me? See this camera in action, "Chris Offroads his Sebring" on YouTube:
[...]

All non-HD video is from this camera.

I have had 3 problems in 5 months with this camera.

1. SD card got stuck in the camera. It had to be sent back to Fuji to sort out.
2. The flash has stopped working and does not popup like it is supposed to
3. Random problem - The "zoom in" and "turn off" button seems to occasionally get muddled up and switch functions. When this happens the camera gets hot on the bottom and needs time to cool down before it starts working properly again.

The camera is in with Fuji again for issues #2 and #3 and I have been told that if it had come back to them 3 seperate times (if i had sent it back 3 times instead of 2) then I would have been sent a new camera. I don't see why this should be the case as obviously the 2 issues are not related. If I had known this, I would have sent it back three times instead of two.

The best I can do is to buy the extended 2 year warranty and if it goes wrong once more I can then send it back and get another. Obviously I am not very happy with the faults I have experienced with this camera.

When it is working, it is great. Nice, crisp photos & easy to use. The video comes out well, the anti-shake function provides clear photos when taken from a boat. Unfortunately it has proved incredibly unreliable and I have had to take my old camera away with me as a backup.

Horrible picture quality, comparable to the 20$ kiddy cams you get in toy stores. One picture may look OK, then the next is completely screwed up. Batteries are horrible and last maybe for 10 to 20 shots in just about any mode. Skip this POS and buy a Canon or Sony. Fuji needs to get out of the camera businnes.

I bought one of these for myself, and as my sister who is a keen photographer showed a more than keen interest in it, i also bought her one for the next christmas, it is very simple to use with enough features to get some surprisingly good photos. There is the option of adding extra lens for different conditions which is useful. The zoom is quite good, and macro setting for close up pictures is really good too. Overall i would recommend this if you want a bit more than the point and shoot type of camera as it is simple to use, takes good pictures and isn't really that expensive.

For the price I was very pleased to receive: the charger, a battery and a case included with the camera. Shipping was in a timely manner. The only problem was the colors and picture quality seemed to be less than perfect.

I bought this camera because I owned the same camera and broke the screen. Since I already bought an extra battery for $30 I hated to just throw it all away with the broken camera. So with this purchase I ended up with 3 batteries, 2 chargers and a case to protect the screen from breaking again. But since I already owned this camera the picture quality was very noticeable to me.

This case is perfect for the Fuji FinePix I got, it'll probably fit most cameras of that size. The strap is pretty small (just a wrist strap), but I usually don't use a shoulder strap anyway. It is not completely sealed from the environment - between the top flap and the two side zippers there's a little bit of space, so there's a small risk of rain getting inside. Otherwise, it's cute and practical; the bulky cases I have for my other cameras end up being a pain to pack and carry around, so this is a nice change. I was very happy with the buy.

I am no master technician with a camera, but my s100fs is letting me get some great shots in a variety of conditions. I am in Niagara Falls NY and spend a lot of time in the parks and the upper river islands, as well as down the lower Niagara Gorge. I shoot in not always the most pristine conditions. Having an all-in-one alternative to a DSLR w/ lens kit really works for me. (No dust or dirt!) I have also owned both the s7000 and the s6000fd and liked them both very much. The S100fs is what i was waiting for - a superzoom DSLR.

I also shoot concerts at Artpark in Lewiston NY The long zoom is terrific with the dual image stabilization. The new 11.1 mp sensor does in fact seem made for that barrel (and vice-versa). The fold-down lcd viewfinder is great for shooting at angles and over crowds, don't know how i lived without it.

Full manual everything gives you maximum control, and the scene positions are also a good guarantee of usable images, but I've gotten addicted to the bracketing on this model - especially for dynamic range and film simulation. Also, the face detection on this camera works flawlessly and delivers great results.

Physically, it's big and bad and fits my hands perfectly. I would have liked to see HD video in the S100fs. I'll be waiting for that in my next camera.

5 stars, very pleased.

I've had my camera for 7 months and it is very good value for money. It has many features and modes to choose from, and a friend who is a professional photographer told me it is virtually as good as a DSLR camera!
A couple of tips I'd like to pass on are:-
1)Be prepared for delay of a second or two before you can take a photo when you switch camera modes. This is because a message appears on the LCD screen to tell you what you've set. The delay can be frustrating, especially if you want to capture a moving subject, so it's best to pre-set the mode beforehand if possible to e.g. SP1 - Sport.
2)Detach the lens cover cap from the camera strap before using the movie mode. The mic is very sensitive and the sound of lens cap knocking against the body of the camera will be heard when you play back your movie clips. Likewise, I'd recommend that you set the zoom prior to recording, otherwise you'll hear the sound of the mechanism moving in and out.
Many digital cameras on the market no longer have a viewfinder. This one offers you the choice of using an electronic view finder, or the large 2.5" LCD screen. It's easly to switch between the two.
All in all, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun experimenting with the many features and modes available, and that you will be more than pleased with the quality of the results, as I have been.
It is the best non-professional camera I've ever used.

I recieved this camera for my birthday from my parents and I am very happy with it so far. I do art at school so I use the camera for that and I am very pleased with the results, the range of modes is excellent and the quality is amazing!

Recently, I was at a Lady Gaga concert and the camera was great, thanks to the 15x Optical Zoom and I captured some great video clips using the 720p HD Video Mode.

The only thing I would criticise the camera for is that each clip of video is limited to 15 minutes, so not so good if you want to film for long periods, this isn't enough to take a star off, so I give it the full *****

I brought this last week, it arrived quickly and very well packaged, which is good, because of the cost of it.

This camera is a big step up from my current one, a Samsung Digimax S500, this is a lot more complex but worth it because I am growing in my photographic skills, but the camera was restraining me, both in terms of zoom and macro shots.

Firstly the zoom on this is immense 51x maximum including the digital zoom (which you can turn on and off), even photos taken at this level are pretty good quality. The optical is 10x and very high quality pictures are produced. The macro/super macro are very good and the detail and quality of shots are awe-inspiring.

The LCD panel is a big point, it is very clear and runs at either 60 or 30 fps, at the higher setting it is amazing to watch, it's very fluid, but dark shots seem to slow it down (due to the processing going on, I presume) but it doesn't matter because the quality is still top notch, there also is noise on the image in dark shots, but this doesn't actually happen on the photos taken.

The EVF (electronic view finder) is a joy to use for shots where you need to use it (not really for bright sun because the LCD is fine there too) but personal preference normally sways decision between either.

I don't use the supplied software, because I have no real need to, and I have a SD card reader, so I don't waste battery power transferring the 4mb shots from it to my PC. So I can't comment on that.

The software on the camera is amazing, and has comments for when you use it, for example when using the playback to view taken pictures, I pressed it again, thinking it is a toggle button and would go back to photo mode, but it came up saying 'press shutter button to go back to photo taking mode'. It comes up with details about each mode, which is useful when using it for the very first time. It has many, many settings to it, to suit the 'point-and-shoot' users all the way up to pro/semi-pro levels.

It comes supplied with a very thick, very comprehensive, manual which shows you how to take pictures, and what the settings, like aperture, actually do, with example photos.

The only real niggles I can find are that, when putting the batteries in for the first time, it was a pain to close the battery door, but you get used to that, and the slowdown and noise when taking night/dark shots on the LCD, which doesn't really faze me.

It's a very high quality camera, from a fine make and purchased from a top distributer. This camera is perfect for a wide range of users and so highly configurable and powerful that it will take some time to get used to all of its features, especially in full manual mode.

update- 2009: I have used it a lot since making this initial review. I've learnt a lot about this camera, and even at the price I purchased it at, it was well worth the money, being cheaper now, the £-per-snap is greatly increased. The macro mode is pretty sensational, and hits high above it's price boundary. it's a good, strong, durable camera and will not let you down. You can use 16GB SDHC cards in it too, which I got this Christmas (but they are from a competitor site, branded with their own name, based in Jersey, 4 letters). The only irritating points are sometimes it refuses to focus on a specific area, for reasons best know only to itself, and when taking dark shots you do get noise, but it's never overwhelming, and can be reduced using a photoshop plugin.
It's served me well, and does continue to do so, I am very happy with Fuji's build quality and product design, well done!

For the price of $150 w/ shipping, this thing was a steal like a month ago. While it isn't perfect, you still are getting a pretty good camera for the price. Remember, you're getting a solid point and shoot ultra compact camera, this probably isn't going to win you any artsy awards for best photo, unless they're candid shots. Oh and don't think that the price is an indicator of the build quality, this camera is pretty sturdy, and as an added plus it's made in Japan, or at least mine was.

Note: If you're looking for something with better image quality, go for a F20 or F30. The Fujifilm F20's a tab bit more expensive, a bit bigger and uglier (well it is), but if size and price aren't a problem go for that instead of this, especially where image quality is a must. Back when I got my V10 the F20 was like $50+ more expensive, so I just settled, but now that they're about the same price I might have gone for F20.

Pros:
*It feels strong/sturdy, and looks sweet
*It takes pretty good pictures, at least for 4x6" prints. But, obviously for a compact camera, the pictures aren't going to turn out flawless, technology really hasn't progressed that far, really the biggest changes to todays cameras have been reduction in size and price. Oh, btw, I really don't see that much of a difference between 5 megapixels and 3 so.
*Inexpensive, the price alone tilted my rating positively.
*Responsive, it takes pictures pretty quickly and the controls don't lag. You can take candid pictures of people so easily, with this thing.
*Ultra-compact, and still affordable; sometimes I strap the camera (in a case mind you) to my arm and go running, it's really convenient.
*Adjustable ISO up to 1600, the ISO is the camera's sensitivity to light, the higher you set it the faster the camera will take the picture and the pictures will generally turn out a bit brighter. This is really useful for low light situations or when you're taking a picture of something moving at a decent speed, but keep in mind that the higher the ISO the more noise there is. Regardless, the pictures still print (4x6) alright, despite the very noticeable noise; so it's a trade off. Generally try to keep the ISO levels 400 or below, as you won't get much noticeable noise at those levels, though you might have some issues with blur, depending on the lighting.
*The screen. I love it. It it such an upgrade over my old Sony's 1.25". I can't believe how I managed without it before.
*The video it takes is pretty good. BTW, it comes with sound.
*It's really easy to move pictures off the camera, it's pretty much drag and drop, if that's how you use it.
*the zoom (3.4x which is .4x higher than most other cameras of it's size) is nice, but would be nicer if the camera had image stabilization.

Neutral:
*Battery life is okay, You need to charge it every so often, more so than some other cameras, but it's decent.
*It doesn't have built-in image stabilization, but I'll let it slide since practically no cameras under $200, especially cameras this size, include it.
*Holding it is a little wierd, since the screen takes up the entire back, there's no place else besides the screen to rest your thumb.
*It takes pretty good low light pictures, w/o flash compared to a lot of other cameras; you'll have to hold the camera really still though, which is a bit hard, or get a tripod. The images tend to be a little grainy, but that's pretty normal.
*Noise: On ISO 400+, like it's noticeable, but not glaringly noticeable, until 1600. Also as I said before there's a decent amount for night mode shots. Otherwise, it's pretty good with noise at levels below 400.

Cons:
*It only takes xD cards, thankfully, Fujifilm has seen the error in its ways and Fuji's newer cameras will be SD compatible, maybe the V20 will take SD. I really just hate how xD cards can only be used in Fuji and Olympus cameras, and they're like twice the price of SD cards.
*The screen's a fingerprint magnet.
*There's no hold switch, I know that like no camera has an actual hold switch, but it would be nice to have that so the lens doesn't accidentally extend if you were to have it in some enclosed area, pockets or bags.
*The USB cable isn't a standard mini-USB, I'm not sure what it is, but it just means I have to carry around one more cord, when I travel.

The zoom wouldn't work on the first camera sent it back and got one that is perfect. Very nice no hassles.

i bought this for my daughter it was posted in very quick time, the product its self is very good and very good value for money.

For someone like myself, making the transition from Compact to Mid Range,the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD Digital Camera is the perfect move.
I am learning all the time and hopefully my photos are improving steadily.
I am super impressed with this camera.A great piece of kit, easy to understand and use.
Everything about it is just right for me.
Apart from the fact that the cost was so much lower than the highstreet outlets, (about £40) The amazon service is second to none. Easy to order, reliable in delivery.
No complaints at all.

This Fuji uses standard SD cards which makes it just as handy as any other camera (Fuji finally got away from expensive xD cards). I like the feel of the camera because it doesn't feel like a cube of platic, it feels like a real camera should. I have had no problems with the picture quality the other reviewers mentioned. I also find it quite easy to navigate. It seems to have good battery life and has been very reliable and inexpensive to use since it takes only 2 AA batteries. I would rate this camera at 4.5 stars.

This product I would have to say is good value for money. Although you may get 12.5MP HD camera (non SLR type) at the same price, this product does exceed those cameras by a far extent. It does all I needed it to do, very clear pictures, controlled shutter speeds and the optical zoom. However it does look like a toy beside the nikon SLRs and any other professional cameras. But I would definately recommend this product to budding photographers like myself!!

Got this battery for my old Z2 which I gave to my dad because the battery started to fail working. Works exactly how the original battery did when it was new, so I am pleased to see it's not a dud! :)

A lot is wrong with this camera except the image quality which is wonderful.

There is about half as much noise at the same ISO as my Canon point and shoots which is amazing. I wonder if Fuji can't say how good it is because it might be better than their upmarket cameras that are supposed to be low noise. Adequate for some sunsets, that's one of the major reasons I love it. The lens might not have much telephoto but that made it easy to manufacture a very good lens.

Variable shutter to 8 seconds in fireworks mode. Usable night mode with a tripod. ISO 64 to 1600 in "manual".

Excellent color.

I bought two as my observation is that when a camera this good comes along it is quickly superseded with something worse. This also gave me a spare battery.

To return to shoot mode press the shutter. This is really the best way to do it but they could have programmed both ways instead of the stupid message.

The software didn't do much except stop my card reader from working (Win 2K). At least it uninstalled neatly and now I use the reader.

The menus are in seemingly random order but include useful functions.

The corners are cut off at full wide. Big deal, with 8 megapixels there is plenty to crop out. Typical for little cameras.

The battery seems to run down over a few weeks if left in the camera. Best not to store the camera with the battery installed and carry a spare.

If the LCD screen has a vertical line through it when there is a bright light such as the sun it won't be on the picture, go ahead and shoot.
