FinePix F70EXR 10MP Digital Camera w/ 10X Optical Zoom
(FJFPF70EXR)
Pros: Good in Low Light, Good Image Stabilization, Short Lag Time, Great Zoom, Advanced creative modes, Nice Body Color
Cons: Relatively long learning
Other Comments: I've had this camera for about 2 weeks, and have yet to test out every function, but what I have experienced, I like very, very much. I am a long-time film SLR advanced amateur. I have a Panasonic FZ-20, which I still use extensively. But I wanted something to put in my pocket which had a substantial zoom and took excellent quality shots. After considerable research, I settled on the FujiFilm F70EXR. The one drawback I've noted is that there's a considerable learning curve, since there are so many shooting modes, but for us nerds, that's a plus, since we like to tinker with these things. The Pro-Focus mode which throws the background out of focus to deliver great portraits really works, but I have run into situations where the camera tells me that it can't perform the desired function. The Pro Low-Light mode works well too, snapping four shots in rapid succession, and merging them into one 5MP picture. The Natural/Flash mode is one I've used several times, when I wonder if available light or flash would produce a better result. This mode takes one of each in rapid succession. The movie mode is good and meets my needs, though it's not HD, and would probably not please the video enthusiast. You can zoom while shooting video, but the zoom is very rapid, and it needs to refocus. In summary, I have gotten some really fine quality shots with this camera, the price I paid was small [$], and it continues to be a lot of fun.
Yes, I recommend this product
