Good Points

Complete versatility
6x optical and 4.4x digital (gives you up to 26x in-viewfinder zoom)
Standard 55mm screw filter mount(on extension tube)
Additional wide-angle and tele lenses available
EVF and LCD
Flash hot-shoe
Up to 6M quality
CF ( to 1Gb ) and SM memory card slots give serious amounts of picture storage


Bad Points

No variable zoom when using video-clip mode
Buit-in flash unusable with extension tube
MF/AF and Macro buttons too easy to alter when holding camera


General Comments

The Fuji Finepix S602 handles and feels like a classic 35mm SLR.
An excellent all-round camera - there are several other Fuji models like it. If you like photography then this camera is for you. Manual, Aperture, Program or Shutter preferred settings, as well as Auto. Also Scene photography. Variable ISO speed up to 1600ASA. All the lighting and white balance settings, sports/multiframe/P-in-P/time delays/fixed focus and lots more. Being able to put on filters and add-on lenses gives even more scope - don't get too carried away though as vignetting can occur :(
Hot shoe flash gives you complete verstility and super-macro takes you down to 1cm.
I have taken some excellent pictures underwater - no, it's not waterproof, but with an EWA-Marine bag from 'Cameras Underwater', you get untold photographic opportunities in the water - diving or snorkelling.
