| gtittley's Full Review: FUJIFILM FinePix S3000 Digital Camera |
I have been using this camera for a couple of weeks now and rate it as very good for the money (I paid £135).
Menus are clear and simple, shape makes the handling good and the 5x optical zoom is excellent. Built in flash gives good results and the macro mode is very usable. Battery life (4 x AA) is very good compared to other cameras I have used.
Minus points are pretty common to all cameras in this price bracket - shutter lag makes shooting moving objects and candid shots difficult, EVF (electronic viewfinder) is too grainy to see detail/focus.
Users used to a decent SLR will be disappointed by this and most other cheapish digital cameras; my sister would love it - I can live with it and find it more than adequate for 90% of my requirements.
