Fujifilm Finepix S1500 Reviews: Digital Hybrid Camera

+ I'm really pleased with the camera, it's easy to use even for me-I'm a senior citezen!

- Can't think of any bad points.

+ The facility that enables you to stitch three pictures together to give a truly panoramic landscape image is outstanding!

- None so far.

+ I think the Fuji FinePix S1500 is a great bridge between a compact and a Digital SLR. I'm fairly new to this type of camera and find it very easy to use. The auto setting is great for when I'm out and about with the family and want to take those impulsive pictures. Overall I think I made a great purchase.

+ Up to date, semi-professional features, compact.

- Electronic view finder

+ I have read many reviews of this camera and was reluctant to spend the £180 being asked by other online retailers. When I saw the simply electronics price I decided to take the plunge. I have had the camera for a month now and it would reccomend it to people who want a step up from a compact camera. It is very well made and the picture quality is very good for a camera of this (cheaper) price. The video quality is very good, I cant believe that it is only VGA ! The optical zoom is very good and the flash is adequate for most situations. The controls are well laid out and menus are fairly straightforward. The panorama stitching works very well and I look forward to using it on my holidays in the future.

- I have noticed motor noise on when playing back video, this is because the inbuilt microphone is mounted on the body very close to the motors that alter the focus/zoom. I have been unable to get the fuji manual (pdf cd) to run on my p.c. I will try to find it elsewhere on line. Also the photos have to be extracted from the camera via the usb cable and fuji software, they will not load from the memory card when inserted in my p.c's card reader.

+ It's like a big slr....but smaller

- Would happily have a hand strap to make even more portable

+ Good lay out of controls and easy to use.

+ It does everything well

- None but finding a reasonable price case is hard

+ The Fuji FinePixs S1500 is a very compacked camera, lots of feature (too many to mention). Eletronic view finder (very good on bright and sunny day's). 3 inch Screen. When you purchase this camera, it comes with 4 AA batteries (not rechargable).

- The battery compartment door is fidderly to open and close (you have to slide a small button to the side, and then slide the battery door to the side at the same time). This process is a little harder when closing the door (a little pressure is needed downwards onto the batterys).

+ ok

- no

+ brilliant! as soon as I got it out the box I could use it. Very easy to use.
Don't need the flash as much as I did on my last camera.

- The only one I can think of is instructions on disc it would be nice to have them in the written version for when you are out and about. Not really a bad point just an observation

+ It's small. Good features.

- Eats batteries. Camera shuts down a bit quick to save batteries getting eaten any quicker.

+ good camera easy to use on some settings just point and shoot

- thought the panoramic photos where terrible they just come out in a strip thumbnail size

+ Simple to use,just point and shoot,excellent photos even from a novice! But also can lend its self to the expert ability.

- None really,it does not come with a case.

+ Very good image quality. Great zoom. Batteries last a long time

- Crosshairs for focus are not present until you press the focus/photo button. If you are not centred on your subject, you need to adjust the position and refocus. A small but irritating point!

+ execellant camera for my son, loves it.

- none

+ I like the size of the camera and the fact that you look through the lens like you do with a SLR, thde zoom's superb and the programs are good also.

- I would have liked to have been able to have a screw thread to fit a glass filter.

+ LIGHT WEIGHT, COMPACT & PLENTY OF FEATURES. IMAGE STABILISATION GOOD -EVEN AT 12X ZOOM I GET BLUR FREE PICTURE.

- STITCHING FACILITY NOT VERY GOOD, ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONLY TRIED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES. QUICK START MANUAL A BIT BASIC, ALTHOUGH CD VERSION IS MORE COMPREHENSIVE.

+ LIGHT BUT FEELS SUBSTANTIAL. FIRES UP QUICKLY. EASY TO LEARN WITH THE MANUAL.

- MANUAL NOT IN ENGLISH. HAD TO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT WHICH IS A CHORE AND THE END PRODUCR VERY BULKY

+ Small easy to use, very smart, light weight.

- none rechargable batteries - not able to charge the battery in the camara

+ good picture quality and good size of viewer. It takes a little getting used to as there are a number of functions.
