Not as good as publicized

Jul 16, 2007

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Acceptable noise level up to ISO 800
Cons: Images lack depth (something unnatural about the image)
Opinion:
Weak flash. Underexposed images if you take pictures at 3x Zoom at ISO 100 in a dimly lit room.

This camera tends to utilize ISO of 800 in indoor photography in the auto mode. The resultant images lack depth and dynamic range due to loss of details from the image processing (which is intended to reduce noise).

Lack of image stabilizer.

If you want to take well-exposed pictures in dim conditions (parties, museum etc) but do not mind the compromized image quality, buy this camera. If you want both, stick to Canon

Cons: XD ancient standard limits you to 2 Gb. Miss video editing and DIVX format.
Opinion:
Is the best digital camera I have had in more than ten years, and the cheapest (more than 20 digital cameras in this time, more of them Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Kodak top of class prosumers models. Canon remains to me as the best brand in global, but this little Fujifilm wonder can be very effective in low light conditions, have the most decent flash in its class, very successful when using outdoors with nice saturated and natural colors and really useful scene modes, like that which combines natural light with flash, two shots in one pass. Just miss DIVX video mode, in order to reach good quality in smaller file sizes (but right now, any quality digital cameras use this format). Miss some video editing tools in camera, like cut videos at beginning or end. Don't know why little cameras in this market segment can't have a way to attach external lenses, shades or filters without using rare and ... Read more
