FUJIFILM FinePix S602 Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: 6X zoom, superb 3 megapixel image quality, excellent movie mode, dual media storage capability
Cons: The S602 is a real power hog

The Fujifilm Corporation has never gotten the respect in the digital camera arena that they deserve, and that is strange since they've introduced some of the most innovative digital cameras ever produced. The Finepix 2600 Zoom remains one of the best...

Pros: Super zoom, great action photography, and the best digital movies ever.
Cons: A storage and power hog. It can get expensive fast.

One of the best things about recent computer shows, is the advent of digital cameras. After several hours of listening to fledgling actors spew corporate technobabble about the latest enterprise (not the starship) vaporware, it's nice to be able to pick...

Pros: Zoom and focus by adjusting lens manually; Great on-screen menus and lots of controls
Cons: Limited to 3.1 MP

If you are one of these 35 mm film-camera users who trust their point-and-shoot features so much, here is something you might be interested in. The Fuji FinePix S602 Digital Camera is the type of digital cameras that will help you make a smooth...

Pros: Excellent images, complete exposure control, feels good to use.
Cons: Manual focus is tricky, not true 6.1 MegaPixel

The gist:

* Total exposure control

* Terrific quality for the money

* May need to rely on automatic features.

I am a huge photo geek. I'm not sure what it is about photography that gets my motor going, but I...

Pros: great effective resolution, vivid colours, many manual controls, extra fast flash sync, VGA video mode
Cons: jaggies, poor low-light af & evf performance, no continuous af, no battery level indication

I've been using this camera for more than four months and, even though it has some annoying characteristics, the hard fact is that I love it very much. Size, Shape & Weight I like to use cameras designed "to my hand", i.e. I'm not a great ...

Pros: Outstanding movie mode; easy out-of-box experience
Cons: No zoom during movie mode; many CF cards not compatible with movie mode

I've been working towards purchasing a Fuji Finepix S602 for several months and finally bit the bullet. For me, the 602's movie mode as an attractive feature. Many cameras allow full frame movies, but for only 20 or 30 seconds. In the 602's case,...

Pros: SLR feel, long zoom, macro, user-friendly
Cons: No auto-focus assist lamp, fixed (non-moveable) LCD screen

This is the second digital camera I have owned. Since receiving my Nikon Coolpix 2000 for Christmas, I have been searching exhaustively for a more featured digital camera to give me more photographic options and features. After discovering digital, my...

Pros: Fantastic picture quality, easy to use once you learn the controls
Cons: Sucks battery power...Ni-MH rechargables are essential. Storage expensive unless you use IBM Microdrive.

I know there are people out there who don't like this camera, but I think they have extremely high expectations. This camera is incredibly versatile. I've been able to take pictures in just about any situation, and they come out well. I don't know how...

Pros: Great photos, cool features, easy to use, very versatile
Cons: Eats batteries like candy

I won't pretend to be an expert on photography or anything associated with digital imaging. Like many people, my eyes glaze over as soon as one starts talking about manually adjusting aperture settings. So this is a review from someone who is...

Pros: Extremely feature rich, excellent photo quality, and 6x optical zoom!
Cons: Can take some time to learn all the features.

The S602 is my third digital camera, and by far the best. It has every feature I wanted in a camera and a lot more to boot. The 6x optical zoom is incredible, the movie quality is great, and the plethora of settings allow you to take pictures in nearly...

Pros: Way too many to list here, read my review.
Cons: Could use focus assist light for dark focusing

Go out, look at all the models available in this range, as a matter of fact look at higher priced models. I dare you to find a better overall value for quality and features than the Fuji s602Z. The best price/value around. No camera is perfect; they all...

Pros: Some good package deals out there
Cons: Power hog, micro size and fumbility

There is no doubt Fuji has come up with a winner here. Based on availability, features, and some decent package deals out there, the S602 has actually set the standard.
But WHAT is that standard? Medium priced, modern day plastics, in micro small...

Pros: Hi resolution, quick, feature packed, video, value, different storage mediums useable, ease of use
Cons: $800 is still a lot, despite that its a GREAT VALUE compared to the competition

I recently purchased the Fuji Finepix S602z, and couldn't be more pleased with it. Here is a quick outline of what I think are some of the most important features:
-Takes Compact Flash Types I and II (CFI+CFII) (so it can take microdrives)as well...

Pros: Large optical zoom (6x), EVF, easily accessible menus, SLR feel and capability, excellent movie mode
Cons: Bad low light AF, no on-camera image rotation, automatic file number resetting

I've owned the Fuji s602z for almost 1 1/2 years now. I owned an Olympus C720 UZ prior to this, but I returned it and bought the Fuji. (You can read my review about the Olympus on this site and why I ditched this in favor of the Fuji.) This was a ...

Pros: Excellent optics, TONS of features for any skill level, very attractive
Cons: Poor low-light focusing ability, power hungry

Kudos to Fujifilm on the S602. After moving away from the film SLR camera, I cannot be more impre ...
