Good Points
Fuji Finepix S304 has a Great lens
Bad Points
impossible to take action shots
General Comments
Have had this camera for 1 year and can say it takes great landscape shots.
It has very good image quality up to A4 prints on fine mode.
I can not believe nobody has noticed that this camera has a shutter lag that makes it impossible to take action shots, it realy is a problem as by the time you press the button the action has moved on!!

Every camera has a shutter lag, due to the autofocus adjust timer. RTFM!

Interesting that you mention the shutter lag. I tried the camera this week and found the lag unusably long.

I have a 2800 zoom which is very similar and for action shots I use the continous shoot option hoping I get one of what I want from the four

Agree the shutter time lag will cause a lot of problems as will the limited ASA100 setting, Thankfully the manual mode allows faster shutter settings via the apperture priority setting and sports mode. I bought it to take sports photos so I hope I can overcome the problems with panning shots etc.
