Review wanted : Fuji FinePix S304

This camera is new to the market. I don't seem to be able to find it on the net but have actually seen the real thing. Can somebody help to review it ?

Thanks.

I've had my S304 for a couple of months now. Depening on how you want to use the camera would depend on if I would recommend it. If you are looking to tke upclose abstract type shots, then this camera will work great. In macro it will focus to about 2-3cms (in good light conditions).

The main let down is camera shake on less than bright days - you would need to use a monopod/tripod - Low light is a problem.

If I had my choice again, I would rather save up and go for a fully manaul camera (still digital though). The only manual features are: white balance, apature, exposure, flash and sharpness. It would be nice to have manual focus.

I use a S602 at work and is a much better camera if you can afford an extra £200.



I hope this helps.

I am using the camera for about 4 months, it's really superb in quality.But need some more experince using the camera in the sunlight.Some pics are going dark when we use in the natural light. Otherwise the print quality even in A4 size, it's amazing.One minor disadvantage is, i am able to use it as a webcam, but only for video chatting,not for taking pics when connected to the computer.I am not sure any options is there or not.Surely i cam recomend this camera for a best buy.You can get this for less than 279 £ from http://www.digital-cameras.com/shop/showproduct.asp?id=1136
