Customer Rating:      Summary: j.g.fairbrother.niton,isle of wight. Comment: upgraded my camera from the fuji s5500 and was so glad i did,what an excellent camera,fantastic features,easy to use,and a great zoom to capture the wonderful wildlife,macro mode is excellent to.highly recommended to anyone wishing to buy a compact digital camera with the feel and looks of a DSLR.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Worlds First Review !! Comment: One of the main reasons i purchased this camera was the massive zoom and the fact you can manually zoom with the barrel ring.
With a zoom this large i think they take too slow to zoom in out out with the normal motorised method and thought the manual zoom would be the perfect solution and in keeping with my Olympus E410 DSLR when zooming manually.
How wrong was I !! the zoom seems to be motorised anyway you just control it manually instead, it,s very unresponsive and too responsive all in one !! hard too explain exactly ,Def not what i was expecting.
The handling is very awkward because of this and one handed use is out of the question.
Build quality and looks are superb and really feels and looks like a SLR,
nice size and weight as well.
Pic quality at base iso is fantastic and comparable to my E410 DSLR at 100 iso and 200 iso, at 400 iso the Dslr,s larger senser starts to take advantage and at 800 and beyond there is no compare at all, although colour and saturation is still good up to 800 iso and prob usefull for emergency use rather then missing the shot.
Interface is average and a bit long winded to be honest but features are excellent if you like playing around.
LCD is fantastic and viewfinder is pretty good as well with good light and resolution.
Autofocus is slow and the buffer writting seems slow after a shot,although the burst mode at lower res is very very good and the lcd does,nt black out so you can still compose while following the subject(very usefull)
Exposure and white balance seems very accurate and shots tend to come out very well exposed and natural.
Video mode is excellent and Macro is very very good.
I,m sure i could get better results and give better info about this camera in time but to be honest the Zoom has left me cold and is enough for me to rethink.
It,s a real shame no one makes a super zoom like the Canon S3 Or S5 2 step control which is instant,accurate and super super fast.
I think this camera would prob excel at wild life shots and General interest such as portrait,Buildings and landscape where the superb wide angle to tele range would come in to it,s own.
If your happy to take your time composing your shots and are in no particular rush then this could be for you but i would strongly recommend trying the zoom in a shop if you can.
If you like taking a bit of action and fast moving kids like myself ,this is def not the camera for you,and this is def not a DSLR replacement either.
