I purposely waited before reviewing this camera. The camera has nice functionality and ease of use. I have not had lens cap issues as others have mentioned in their reviews. I did however find some focusing issues. If this camera has it, I have not found a manual focus. Only the automatic but you can trick the focus with a halfway press of the shutter button. The zoom motor is quite fast. That makes it difficult to get the precise zoom level easily but it is possible. The big issue I have is there is no Battery Life Indicator until just before it decides not to take any more pictures. There is no way of testing battery life until the batteries are almost done. So a full set of spare charged batteries in my pocket is a must. On the plus side of this the camera is not as much of a battery hog as any of my older cameras. This camera is lighter than them as well. I am not displeased with my purchase but it seems to me a couple more minor additions and this could be the best all around camera for any novice photographer. With the addition of a SDHC 32 GB card it holds plenty of HD video. However if you remember this is a still shot camera you will not be disappointed by the video quality. Not true HD but much better than a lot of still shot cameras. Despite what I found I can safely recommend this camera for the price. I am sufficiently happy with it.Read full review
PROS: Camera is great for all needs. Easy to use and software friendly. Light and sturdy with a grip makes taking pictures more ergonomic. Plenty of functions to choose from for that perfect picture. SLR Camera feel and quality CONS: won my Camera for $170 with free shipping....Went to a Walmart a few days after receiving it and saw the same Camera for only $210...Best to shop around when buying anything but better when you research New VS Used prices as well...(Including current and previous sale prices) Give this Camera a solid B+
Fuji makes great equipment and as long as these cameras haven't been abused they hold their value. The camera was well packaged What I received is in nice shape. Only thing I would have liked to see in my package is the plug for downloading my photos.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Small but very fast and wonderful picture image. I have two Nikons and Two Canons of more than 10 Megapixels each and most times I rely on this one instead of these. My Nikon D-3300 takes 8 pictures with flash..one every 5 seconds and then takes about 20 seconds to be ready to shot again. This one does NOT take time in between shots. I recommend it for anybody needing a good camera.
Verified purchase: No
Fuji just keeps getting better and better. upgraded to this from my 7.1 s series and where it lacked before its made up for in leaps and bounds. I'm no professional but I can get professional pictures out of this camera. My subjects never sit still and lighting is rarely perfect. I take pictures of horses and wildlife. Its an amazing camera for the price. I had my old one for over 3 years and I'm TERRIBLE with anything fragile. i didnt replace my old one because of damage but simply because I wanted an upgrade to see how this camera performed and it was way better than I expected.
