Good Points
Takes outstanding pictures for 8x10 printing.
Easy to use format, similar to slr film cameras.
Everything I wanted as an advanced amature.
Bad Points
You really need the gig drive to do your best work.
There is a little wait time between pics in the highest res mode.
General Comments
I have done black and white darkroom for years, but never got into color because of the cost and difficulty that color film presented. Now I am amazed by the features that the Fuji FinePix S602 Pro camera has, including two macro modes, complete auto to manual control, a great number of color balance options, and the quality my prints have. I always shoot at maximum resolution, in the finest mode. The files are very large, often 17+ megs, but my prints are worth it.
It helped me a lot to know about film shooting, since there are many similarities with digital.
