Fujifilm Finepix 4700 Zoom

As a Graphic Designer I was looking for a digital camera to take photos of my clients products before I had them professionally shot at a photographic studio. So I was not looking for a top end digital camera, as I did not have thousands of pounds to spend. My requirements for the chosen camera where: 1. It had to be Macintosh compatible (many manufactures do not supply Mac software for their cameras). 2. The camera had to produce a high quality image around A5 in size. 3. A LCD screen for viewing the images. 4. Small, stylish and good build quality. 5. The price had to be around £500. So my first stop ...  Read the complete review

I first heard about this camera through my Job. I thought it was a bit pricey for what it was but then I read magazine reviews and started to get interested in the camera its self High Megapixel Output. I was rated very highly and I can see why. Even though the Camera is 2.1 Megapixel in Hardware. It uses a very clever CCD Matrix (Charged Coupled Device) to give a massive 4.3 Megapixel Picture Output. This rates much Higher then any other camera I have seen in the personal market. It has lots of good features. Like Movie mode, Low light mode, Auto Mode, Manual Mode. It uses a USB connection to transfer the files to your PC. It has 1.62 LCD screen that allows you to ...  Read the complete review

I bought this camera a month before Xmas from Dixons in duty-free for £460; they've now dropped it to £350 or c.£411 in the high street. The week before I bought it it was £530+VAT - why is the price dropping? The new model is due in April which'll be £200 more. It will have to be really good to compete with the 4700Z and justify a £200 price-hike (it will be bigger and heavier to accommodate its extra features). The 4700Z meets the basic requirement of the average user which so many of us can lose sight of (me included in September when I bought an Olympus C3000 which I took back): it's small and compact and a cinch to use - therefore, ...  Read the complete review

We bought this camera before a trip to Kenya, and a 64MB memory card with it. We got some superb shots and it was nice to be able to delete ones we weren't happy with on the spot - thus freeing up memory space. We managed to squeeze on 168 photos at a very good quality level. The camera looks distinctive and modern, and the controls are easy to use and understand. The display is crystal clear and the flash is more than adequate. The build quality is good. However, the camera was dropped on one occasion and the case split. Now for the good part - I sent it off to Fuji UK to get repaired, and they had it done in a week at a very reasonable price. ...  Read the complete review
