Fujifilm FinePix S100FS gets reviewed
FujiFilm has made some pretty bold claims about its FinePix S100FS "DSLR-styled" camera and, according to the folks at Photography Blog, it looks like it has mostly managed to live up to them. They seem to have been especially impressed by the camera's solid build quality, which they say leaves an "impression that stays with you" and, just as importantly, they had few complaints about the image quality, with the 14.3 x zoom delivering the goods and the resultant images boasting great colors and detail. On the downside, the camera is, as expected, more sluggish than a proper DSLR, it's battery life is only "average to poor," and it's $800 list price isn't exactly a bargain considering what you can get for just a couple of hundred bucks more. Of course, you can likely find it for cheaper than that if you do a bit of digging, which Photography Blog says makes it even easier to recommend.
Fujifilm's FinePix S100FS is their "most advanced" consumer model
How does a 14.3x Fujinon manual zoom lens, 8th generation 11 megapixel Super CCD sensor and new RP III processor sounds to you in a consumer camera? That's what you'll get next month when the $800 Fujifilm S100FS goes big box. Fujifilm's "most advanced consumer model" features Dual Image Stabilization (optical image and picture stabilization), up to ISO 6400 sensitivity at 6 megapixels (ISO 10,000 at 3 megapixels), 2.5-inch tilting LCD, 3 megapixel burst mode for a maximum of 50 shots at 7fps, and unique film-simulation modes optimized for portraiture, low-contrast (soft), vibrant colors (Velvia), or general use (Provia). Sounds good, but we'll have to wait for the reviews to see if there's any substance to the hype.%Gallery-14525%
