Fujifilm Finepix S700 Digital Camera

My wife and I are by no means photographers, though I have read some and have gotten better at using manual settings. Overall this camera has been great. My wife 100% of the time uses point-and-shoot modes, and she has been happy with it. There are some instances where the auto modes fall short and you have to toy around with the manual settings to really get a good shot, but that's part of it. For the money, it'd be hard to find another camera with the flexibility of this one. It gives you pretty good point-and-shoot as well as the ability to venture into the manual settings. The only cons I can think of are it's ability to give quality photos in some night settings (in auto modes) and the little plastic door that holds the batteries sometimes comes loose due to it's location and it causes the camera to shut off. As stated before, it isn't a perfect camera, but for the price it's a great camera. I'd totally recommend it.

I absolutely love this camera. It is my third digital and it is so much better than basic models. It is very easy to use, comfortable, and lightweight. It takes great photos although the zoom is limited. I am planning to order the lenses now that I know how to work the functions. I bought rechargeable batteries which I highly recommend. The only negative is that the lens cap pops off easily. But that is minimally annoying considering the strong positives.

My daugther needed a camera for school, and I wanted one that would help her develop a skill and hobby. She is 10 and uses this camera everyday now. When we received the camera I went over how everything worked with her, then she took over. The camera takes video's too. My daughter loves posting these little works of art on YouTube. This was a great purchase.

Excelente relacion calidad precio. pros: funcional, un monton de funciones disponibles, excelente vida de las bareias, acepta acople de algunos filtros, preio, apariencia, cantida de luz del flash graduable. Contras: unicamente que no acepta flash externo. Esta camara toma excelente fotos, incluso en el modo 100% automatico, tiene buena cantidad de opciones en el modo manual, su aspecto parecido al de las camaras de mayor nivel como las slr, le da un aspecto profesional y de mayor nivel. en un pricipio no estaba muy conforme, porque las fotos me estaban quedando con mucho ruido, pero luego de leer algunas paginas, pude descubrir que el setting que trae de fabrica no es el mas adecuado para todas las ocasiones, principalmete el iso, que viene puesto en auto 800, pero una vez que lo baje a iso 100 para tomar fotos en el dia, y a iso 400 para fotos en la noche normal, las fotos dieron un giro del 100%, ahoraestoy super conforme con esta camara, ya tengo unos 3 mese con ella y ...

If you are not a professional or at least an advanced serious amateur, forget the DSLR and save your money. If you don't want the expense of additional lenses and the hassle of changing them, this camera might be for you. I previewed (hands-on) similar cameras of various brands prior to purchasing this one but have owned no others like it so I cannot give a comparison, but I have owned and used this camera for 5 months now and am extremely well pleased with it. Most of my photos are outdoor shots, and in nature, the 10x zoom is fantastic. The camera has the look and feel of a DSLR, so handling is quite steady. It will do the simplest point-and-shoot, or go full manual for those with a desire to experiment. One feature that was important to me was the ability to accept a filter and this camera does it very nicely (with a Hoya filter installed, the factory lens cap works well). The zoom lens does not move outside the camera and this feature is one that appeals to me, unprotected prec... Read more
