Thomas, Ivybridge
+ Colours are very vivid, true and life like. Skin tones are excellent. I'm disabled and find i do shake a fair bit when holding objects but the image stablising setting works like a charm. This is my first fuji and i think its a good camera for beginers and has some more advanced settings for intermediate users. I was a bit aprpehensive about the battery length because this model doesn't have a veiwfinder but so far its been fine. All in all im very pleased with quality and build with plenty of preconfigured settings.
- Menu is a bit fiddly until you get used to it but its only a very minor point.

Kieran , newcasle co.down , “serious amateur photographer.”
+
Dynamic range is excellent. Finally highlights with detail. Overcast skies have clouds they aren't just white.28mm lens is useful and 5x zoom. A larger sensor size than most compacts, allows it to handle 400 iso without noise.
A good back up to my Canon 40d slr.

Richard, Essex , “fairly knowledgeable in photography”
+
A large range of auto programs
Excellent night scene mode
The soft portrait mode really does work, skin tones are softened and blemishes somehow vanish
Good quaility pictures even at high ISO levels eg 800 or 1600 (so good for indoors and low light)
Good optical range on the lens (5 x zoom)
Very lightweigh and compact camera
-
Tends to want to take pictures in the Auto mode at high ISO settings even in well lit situations (can overide this and set your own ISO levels)
You need to work hard on the white balance or choice of program modes (just keep experimenting). High contrasting backgrounds tend to get "bleached out" if you are not careful.
When using at extreme wide angle (28mm equivalent) there is noticeable "fisheyeing" (i.e straight lines at the edges of the frame become curved). If you test this camera, take a picture of a square tiled floor and you'll see what I mean. This is the worst feature in an otherwise excellent little camera and why I didn't give it a 10 for image quality.

Paula, Shropshire
+ Lots of features, it is easy to use once you have got used to it, picture quality very good.
- Just a bit confusing to find which photo selection to use to begin with, I found it some working out to actually delete the unwanted pic's, even after reading the instructions many times!

G, London , “Shrewd Practical Enthusiast”
+ Nice amount of features, options and shortcuts for alot of different scenarios. Brilliant zoom, and very fast startup for snapshotting.
- A little bit bulky compared to most compacts. Although lots of features, alot of them yield similar results and overall seem pointless.

Anonymous verified purchaser
+ If your looking for a shoot n point, your not going to be dissapointed. The zoom lever is for me anyway so easy to use, not having to take your eyes off the subject to use it. Macro, again for me, is super, then to be able to zoom in even more and to save the frame without loosing the original.
- I'm sure that there may be one or two for the more discerning photographers out there, but again for me, I haven't found any that affect my personal experience with this camera.

John, Mansfield
+ Superb image quality - good range of light levels -good range of features - excellent in low light levels which is where I do a lot of my photography
- Wheel selection takes a little getting use to. Lots of settings takes time to learn. Basic paper manual - have to print out 163 page manual which you cannot do as compactly as the manufacturer.

Rob, CIRENCESTER , “Semi-pro photographer”
+ A compact nicely made camera that a novice can use happily with enough features to keep a more serious photographer happy.
- Some of the menus are not that intuitive.
