Digital camera reviews of Fujifilm Finepix S700 7.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Best value as long as you don't mind the larger size
Summary: 5 Stars
Much better than my previous 2 digital cameras for about half the price, it does far more than they did and produces better pix. Particularly useful is the video viewfinder for bright outdoor viewing when you can't see the bigger LCD screen, and the ability to take indoor pictures by available light, something I couldn't do with previous cameras.
Be aware that this is NOT a pocket-sized camera or even close. It's easy to shoot with one hand, but at about the size of a triple hamburger, it's no going in anyone's pocket. It's also fairly rugged, having survived a 5-foot drop onto a concrete floor.
If there's a better digital camera for the price, I'd like to know which one! Pass this one up if you really need the smaller size, but remember that you're giving up the 10X zoom when you do that.
Digital camera Review: Better than the Finepix 2650
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this camera less than 6 mos ago as an upgrade from the Finepix 2650 and while it was superior to it, I'm already in the market for another one.
As other reviews tell, this camera shoots absolutely GORGEOUS outdoor photos in good light, but indoors it's worthless... the images turn out so grainy even all the Paint Shopping - in the world don't make them look good.
The zoom is nice as well and lets me capture birds high up in the trees in my yard, but my primary reason to buy it was to take pictures @ the Flaming Lips New Year's show -- and while it managed some reaaally nice pictures -- I still had to take HUNDREDS to get the good ones and I would prefer to find something else that would allow me to focus on quality and not quantity.
Another advantage over my 2650 is the superior quality of the videos it shoots. The 2650 vids don't even have sound, but not only does this camera shoot sound videos: the sound isn't completely overwhelmed in noisey situations. I was able to capture a video of a guy proposing to his girl on stage at the concert and then contact them later and offer them the video... they replied back that they will be using it at their wedding reception.
So... it's a good camera, but it's not as impressive as they made it look 6 mos ago (I mean, look how much the price has already gone down in that time).
I'm ready to get serious with my photography and this camera just isn't going to keep up.
Digital camera Review: Built-in help
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is easy to use and learn -- when you select a feature or mode, it momentarily displays a Help screen which descibes the feature or mode. This can be turned off once it is no longer needed.
Do remember to keep your finger off the top of the camera, though -- the flash can't pop up and flash if you're holding it closed.

Summary: 5 Stars
Have not used many of the features. But the pictures I have taken using the auto setting look great. Very pleased with this camera. Great value for the # of features offered. One note, the original camera had a problem with the LCD viewfinder. Got a replacement and no problems with this one.Digital camera Review: Camera

I really like this camera, I like the see thru lens as well as the 2.5 screen behind. I looked in the newspaper this last week and for a comparable camera, I felt like I got a very good buy. Its my first digtal camera still learning how to use a lot of the functions. I struggle with putting sd memory card in, I got the gold piece on the right side like they said to do, but would not go in right, I called tech help at Fuji which I had trouble finding, he acted like he really didn't want to help me and told me to send the camera in, so I took the camera to Ritz camera and she took care of my problem in a second with no charge. I didn't realize you had to turn the sd memory card upside down. I really like the camera, have taken quite a few pictures already.
