Advantages: Good Quality, Easy To Use

Disadvantages: Battery Life, Size

The finepix is a mighty fine "bridge camera" but lets get something out the way...this is no DSLR!
Feauture wise its great and is able to take B&W, Sepia and standard images in its stride. The zoom as well is great (a whole 12x) and camera shake wise its softwares sorts it out.
It feels solid in the hand and is small enough to carry and use as a anyday camera. An annoying little niggle is the flash isnt auto pop up so you have to remember to press the button to release the flash.
The viewing screen is big and clear, and the buttons are well thought out.
Another niggle is the lens cap has a knack of falling off even when touched lightly.
I would recommed this camera as a go anywhere camera that has better results then a compact. The zoom is brill for a camera this price, and theres options that lets you manualy adjust the settings rather then the point and shoot standard. It also lets you play with the ISO which is nice.

Oh and buy some rechargable batteries as the standard only last about 200 shots!

All in all i would say 7/10 if your looking for something nice small and with great picture quality and your not bothered about an ultra compact then its a bargin!

Summary: A nice camera if your not bothered about the size of a bridge unit
