Advantages: so many advantages to this camera and many many useful features

Disadvantages: unable to zoom while using the video

A wonderful camera and exceptional value.

I am delighted with this camera after many months of usage. It takes superb photos and was recommended by a professional for me to take semi-professional photos. Perfect clear images. Robust yet very light. Great zoom. Ability to use a superior xD card. Very good video although unable to use zoom function while recording however the microphone is very sensitive and picks up individual voices clearly. Easy menu and functions. Everything is very well laid out.

The software provided is also easy to install and use. Very easy to download pictures and videos onto PC. Ability to protect individual pictures or video to eliminate accidental deletion. However, to be honest, accidentally deleting photos/videos is hard as it clearly states if you want to delete the photo/video after hitting the delete button.

The LCD monitor is large enough to clearly see what you want. Very easy to adjust brightness. The picture you see is the picture you get, very very little time difference if any at all.

There are so many very useful functions that I have still yet to use and I use this camera semi-professionally. Even for those "holiday" snaps it will produce outstanding photos/videos for the most novice.

The basics can be easily learnt in a couple of hours.

Everything about this camera works and fujifilm really have hit it on the head with the finepix range surpassing olympus like for like.

I purchased this camera for 160 maltese lira (equivalent to about £250 sterling) and im not bothered at all by prices being much lower simply because its an outstanding camera and worth every penny. I will have and frequently use this camera for many many years to come. You will not be dissapointed with this camera.

Summary: A semi-pro camera at the price of a normal everyday digital
