I bought this camera last year when I got married. We had decided to save (a lot of) money and have a friend take our photos for us so wanted a decent camera for the job. We were lucky and it was half price at the time and paid £99 and I see it currently sells on Amazon for £129.99 - which I still think is a good price for it. With its 15x optical and 6.3x digital zoom getting clear pictures from a distance has been very good. I can sit on my bench in the park or at the beach and get good shots as my kids run around enjoying themselves. With the choice of using the 3" viewing screen or turning off the display and using the view finder it is ...  Read the complete review

Despite looking a bit chunky, the Finepix S1730 isn't a digital SLR camera. It does have a 15x zoom lens, though, which is why it's so large. It's a pretty decent camera - although it's not worth the £250 or so that it was originally sold at. I managed to pick mine up for £75 at Argos. Argos are currently selling it at £99, which isn't too bad. The S1730 can be tweaked to your hearts content if you so desire. Or if you're an amateur you can just point and click and then look at some of the fancier features later on. I started using the special features more or less straight away - some of these are a bit fiddy to get at, but they include the ability to take ...  Read the complete review

For an SRL camera that was a bargain price in Argos. I was dubious first as you are not able to change the lens but the next priced srl camera was £200 more. So I bought this a a birthday present for my fiance. And he was very pleased. Even though you cant change the lens the zoom on this is fantastic. And you are able to zoom into a leaf on a tree in the distance with no lose of quality in the picture. The only downside to this is the battery usage. It seems to eat four AA batteries over a couple of days if left on for long period of times. And be aware that the camera tends to prefer to same batteries over the life of its camera. So far ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought this camera just before I was about to go on holiday and it really was worth it. The camera is obviously a digital camera, looks like a larger SLR but actually isnt. The large 12.2 Megapixels means you get a really great clear shot, no matter the weather. It also has 15x optical zoom which I found really helpful as it can capture shots far away, whilst still keeping the clearness to the shot. The camera is not easy lightweight but it is a compact (large handbag needed) style. I couldnt find a case for the camera in Tesco, where I bought it, so i made one and it works just fine, keeping it clean and scratch-free. The electronic screen is really easy to ..  Read the complete review

I bought this camera after my previous canon's screen was broken, and after using a canon I was a bit skeptical about getting a fujifilm, the real reason behind this purchase for me was that I needed a camera, and didn't have much money to spend, so I was astonished when I saw how cheap this was. I read a few reviews and almost immediately bought it. I was pleasantly surprised when it was delivered, it has a lovely feel to the camera and the slight design all over it is really cool. I am still to do this amazed with all the things that it can do, and the quality of the pictures and videos that it takes, I am a keen photographer and this is my little secret. ...  Read the complete review
