Fujifilm Finepix S602 Zoom

* Initial Note * Recently, I have started to gain a passion for photogrpahy. With travelling to Dubai a lot, there is so much to take photos of, such as for example when I went to Oman (Which is an absoloutley gorgeous country), and the beautiful sunsets on the beach by the burj al arab. So I thought, well, with a good, professional (moving on from throw-aways) camera, I can start taking some decent photographs for when I come back home. Anyway, so far its produced some pretty good photos. * General description and feeling * Firstly, the camera itself is quite quick in terms of shutter lag which is important when you are taking a lot of action ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this camera last month (Feb 03) and was very impressed with the quality of photos immediately. It's a chunky beast that holds well with the right hand. After a week or so, I decided to purchase a tripod which helped a lot for close up images of ceramics and also coins (I deal in antiques although collect coins).

I use it mainly for creating textures for 3D modelling and computer games and its come through for me every time.

Features such as the super-macro mode and the quality of its video and (suprisingly) audio capture make this a great all rounder.

With the current trend for digital cameras to look as small as possible, it's nice to see a camera that looks, and feels, like a traditional SLR. The Fujifilm eschews some of the more glamorous stylings of its lower-end stablemates, in favour of a body that's comfortable to hold, resulting in greater stability when taking photos. Fuji's 3million-pixel CCD sits behind a superb 6x optical zoom lens. If you're the sort who likes to tweak all sorts of parameters when taking your pictures to produce the best-quality photos from the outset, you'll be in heaven ? you can ramp up the ISO sensitivity up to 1600 if you feel like it. For myself, ...  Read the complete review
