For quite a few months I've kept an eye on the market of digital cameras during the last year. I found the development to be far enough now to be ready for buying a digital camera for a valuable price. Of course they still were not beating the conventional cameras in quality of resolution and true colours except (if ever) you were ready to pay a fortune on those. But in addition to the camera for portraits and high-resolution-artwork it seemed to be quite reasonable to purchase a digital camera for Internet purposes and quick snapshots. I didn't claim a high-standard equipment, but a price-performance ratio. With this I excluded as well the bargain ...  Read the complete review

As I write this opinion I should in all honesty inform you that dispite having played with this camera for some time, I am still in the 'new toy' phase of ownership. If I should start to rave - hit me on the head with a brick and tell me to get on with it. <<< The whys and wherefors >>> It has been about 7 months since my old Fuji DS-7 digital camera gave up the ghost and had to be put out of it's misery.

This is my first op so please be gentle with me…. I give my opinion only as a user and not a purchaser as I was fortunate enough to be given it as a consolation for reaching half a century and I wasn’t even playing cricket! The FinePix 1300 camera is so easy to use you really do just point and shoot and of course because it is digital you can wipe away the duff shots before anybody else sees them. The quality of pictures has been great and the ability to instantly play with them on the computer is great. I spent a week recently helping at a kids club where I was the designated photographer and to be able to take a shot, put it straight to ...  Read the complete review
