I was concerned about focusing accuracy and in low light. The camera excels at both. It has dedicated ISO and EV buttons which are a must. The fast lens is sharp even wide open but sharpens up even more at around f/4-4.5. The new 2/3" sensor handles the 11 megapixels with the associated noise just great. The manual zooming lens is so quick. Just like a DSLR. With all the bells and whistles, extra external buttons and dials it's truly designed like a much more expensive DSLR. The continuous focus and optical stabilazation are simply amazing. Of course with a EV you don't get the speed of a DSLR tracking but I don't need that particular feature.
The highly taughted dynamic range increase is good for a least one additonal stop and possibly two in jpg. Of course in RAW one can process however many they need through HDR.
Frankly I've been waiting for any manufacturer to come up with a not too big of a camera with a true optical stabilized 28-350/400 lens with a 2/3" sensor to keep the lens small enough to keep the weight down but large enough to let in enough light to keep it fast. Also needed a manual zoom and not those slower electronic zoom models that are too slow for me. I think Fuji has delivered the camera of my dreams and I imagine those of others as well.
I've also owned the Panasonic FZ-30/50 which are very special cameras but the Fuji S100fs simply has so many more features the Panny's just can't truly compare. The Fuji clearly has more resolution and FAR LESS noise. At least two stops less.
This Fuji camera is definitely a highly recommend from me. As I use more of the features I'll report back my findings. Anyone who downgrades this camera is only looking for ANY reason not to buy/keep it. Because the bottom line is, it delivers the goods.
I have used it countless times and taken hundreds of pictures. I find that still shots come out beautiful but anything else and you run the risk of the shot being blurred. I have checked the troubleshooting section in the manual but nothing there has helped to resolve this issue. I have taken pictures with different settings and while some seem to work a bit better than others, many shots still end up on the blurry side. Others have stated that they find this camera to be great at taking shots on the move, I find this not to be the case with my particular camera. I do not know if it's a defect in the one I own or this particular line.
This camera also came with an accessory pack. A charger, battery, tripod, carrying case, 4 GB memory card and cleaning kit.
I would recomend saving your money and purchasing a different camera.
I am a happy owner of a Fuji S5000 getting many compliments about my photos, I needed a new camera for a special function so went for another Fuji. The S8100fd, it arrived on a bright sunny day so I took many photos I was disappointed with the results and had to adjust the picture quality with software, I also noticed a purple band in the viewfinder. I advised Amazon (who were and are great), but I did not want to give up in case it was me. I emailed Fuji, searched their forum, eventually I had to send it back to Amazon for a replacement, hoping it was a one off. My new one arrive promptly but again this one has the purple banding and poor photos in bright sun light. So now I am looking for another camera, Fuji have accepted they have a design fault so check out their forum before buying.

I was upgraded to the A920 because the A820 developed the "zoom error" fault that is documented elsewhere for several of the Finepix cameras.
The A920 seems to take OK photos although focussing was always a problem if you were impatient. I never tried out all of the features.
I have only had the A920 for about 6 months and although the "zoom error" problem has not yet appeared, the zoom has stopped working. It still takes pictures but at wide angle only. You can't even zoom in when reviewing so I assume it is a problem with the button.
My wife has given up with her earlier Finepix model as it developed a fault and kept resetting the filenames and losing the date. The camera shop couldn't sort it out and said it would have to be sent away for reapair for more than the price of a new one.
I have just bought my own Sony W130 and this seems great and will hopefully prove to be more reliable.
This camera weighs roughly what a decent 35mm SLR would and is similar in size. The optics are of a very high quality and the various controls are intelligently laid out.
The 10,000 iso speed is a bit of a gimmick, but all else does what it claims to do. The picture quality is superb. The autofocus/exposure systems work well and the manual settings are well laid out and intuitive.
The lithium battery is well housed and easy to take in and out, and the battery charge is quick, typically a couple of hours to charge from drained.
In conclusion, it's not a professional's camera, but it is very good. It has a solid feel, and takes SD, XD and SDHC cards.
The software provided is OK, but largely unnecessary.
Recommended to any serious amateur photographer.
I bought 8 2700mAh AA batteries and a charger (it uses 4 at a time). Battery life is really good and will easily do a few hundred pictures. Only small criticism is I cannot find a filter to protect the lens, which has a 38.1mm thread. I did get an adapter to go from 38.1mm to a more standard 52mm from SRB-Griturn and it fits, although you can no longer use the Fuji lens cap. Only problem with it is that it shows in each corner of the image when the lens is zoomed out to its widest (the default setting). You have to zoom in a little to get rid of it, which makes about 7% of the wide angle range unusable. Think it's a camera design problem rather than the adapter.
Very pleased with it overall though and consider it great value.
Guess what, I sold it after few weeks as I realised to take better pictures, you need to buy extra lenses to achieve that, which will cost about £100 for each extra lens. Then I bought this Fujifilm s8100fd, which there is no need to get add-on lenses or adapters. It offers everything from true wide angle to extreme telephoto in a single compact unit!
The super-macro is amazing to shot close-up things like flowers, where the blackground is out-focus.(which u cannot do it with G9)Batteries last very long, I've already took few hundred shots so far and
batteries still havent run out!
It's absolutely great value for money! especially for beginners like me! High Recommended!!!
All in all a great camera, worth the buy.
The larger display screen is nice and the menu is much improved.
Although the AA batteries of the previous version had its advantages, I prefer the lithion ion battery system of this version.
The actual results is not that much of an improvement -- pixel count and ccd sizes remain the same.
I found a couple of the controls to be slightly funky, but nothing I couldn't easily adjust to. Most other aspects of the camera functioned pretty much as I expected -- time between pictures, light adjustments, etc. The one critisism I have is that the colors are not as vibrant as in photos I've taken with my other Fuji digital cameras (which used the super CCD technology). On the other hand, I paid between $350 and $550 for my previous cameras, so the comparison really isn't valid.
All in all, a nice, small camera that will comfortably fit in a shirt pocket. Great for taking on an outing where you don't want to lug around a heavy camera and just want to take some casual snapshots.
The S2000HD also has 3 killer features that made me upgrade.
1) Image stabilisation
2) Records movies in HD resolution and allows me to zoom while recording
3) 15x optical zoom
But there are flaws, most notably
1) The zoom is controlled by a push-button style control which is very jerky.
2) The lens has a push-fit cover, instead of a threaded rim. I think this means I will be unable to fit a UV lens filter.
If you don't think you can live with these limitations and you are willing to spend double the money then have a look at the S100fs. If you don't want to spend that much and you don't mind having last-year's model (with no image stabilisation, less zoom and lower res movies) then see if you can find a heavily-discounted S9600.
--The zoom control is very fast, overshoots and returns,making fine control difficult
--I consider the supplied software to be very "user unfriendly" to such an extent that I have been obliged to uninstall it from my computor
Unless you are planning to have this camera encased in magical protective gear forever, I would avoid it.
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Not to certain on how to retain case when camera is in use but would buy again to keep camera in as new condition.
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.
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.
should they be needed ie:batteries/sd cards.
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 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.
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.
