Fujifilm FinePix S100FS

 

Is Fujifilm's new 11.1MP superzoom flagship a bridge too far? Cliff finds out.

The Fujifilm S100FS is a worthy successor to the S9600, and has superior handling, performance and image quality to any other super-zoom camera on the market, but comparing it to a real DSLR is a bit disingenuous. It is very expensive, more expensive...

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS review

 

You can buy a DSLR for less than £400, so we want to know what the FinePix has?

Impressive zoom range ; Good feature set

In the same price range as DSLRs ; Hit and miss picture quality

The S100FS is competing directly with entry-level DSLRs. It easily beats them with its zoom range but doesn’t match them for picture quality. It will appeal, though, to photographers on a fixed and final budget who nevertheless want a camera that can...

Fujifilm FinePix S100fs digital camera

 

I'm a little worried. The FinePix S100fs is a significant piece of kit from a manufacturer that produces some ace kit and on paper; the S100fs certainly looks the biz. The DSLR-styled bridge compact is actually not very compact at all weighing in at...

Lens, flip/tilt screen, specification and features, Film Simulation modes, noise performance, CCD RAW shooting

Price, performance, handling foibles, dynamic range issues

The superb specification level is slightly marred by the way controls are implemented but there’s so much neat stuff crammed into the camera, that it really can take on almost any photography challenge thrown at it, it’s just that the results might not...

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS review

 

If you've got £400 to spend on a digital camera, you're spoiled for choice, with lots of DSLRs to choose from; click <a href="http://www.computerbuyer.co.uk/labs/

The ultimate ultra-zoom? The best ultra-zoom camera, though also the most expensive.

Fujifilm - FinePix S100FS

 

The digital revolution in photography might appear to have created two general classes of snappers: those who want to point ‘n' click with the minimum amount of effort and the serious professionals who demand total control ...

Having initially priced this ‘bridge' DSLR-styled camera at £499, its revised £349 tag makes it an appealing buy for serious amateurs who want most of the DSLR features without the heavy outlay and extra lenses.

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS

 

Fujifilm's S100FS superzoom is tried and tested

The Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is great for those who want a camera that can do everything at a bargain price, but its picture quality stops it being a match for a DSLR
