I Love This Camera!!!, December 1, 2007
This review is from: Fujifilm Finepix S700 7.1 MP Digital Camera + 2GB Deluxe Kit (Electronics)
This is the first digital camera I've bought and am extremely happy with it. The Auto setting is excellent. Just point & shoot and it takes great pics. It has lots of features that I haven't had time to play with yet. The LCD screen is a great size and also has a regular viewfinder if that is what you prefer.
If you want a great little camera that has lots of features, that takes very nice pictures and not worry about spending a fortune this is the camera for you.

Fujifilm S-700 camera, November 18, 2007
This review is from: Fujifilm Finepix S700 7.1 MP Digital Camera + 2GB Deluxe Kit (Electronics)
For the money the S-700 gives you more bang for the buck...
For the beginner or the seasoned photographer it is packed with all the features that the expensive boys have, and look at the money you saved.

Best camera I've ever owned, January 27, 2008
This review is from: Fujifilm Finepix S700 7.1 MP Digital Camera + 2GB Deluxe Kit (Electronics)
I'm not a professional photographer, but I've had 4 other digital cameras in the past (including a smaller Fujifilm product). The S700 hands-down beats those and others belonging to friends & family that I've used.
One of the main reasons I bought this camera is for the zoom feature; I take a lot of bird pictures (esp. hummingbirds), and right away I got just AMAZING shots of my subjects. I know digital zoom reduces the quality, but after using the 10x optical zoom - and not getting quite what I wanted - I used the digital zoom for extreme closeups. Even these are spectacular. Everyone I show them to wants to know what camera I used. I show these pictures on a 32" widescreen TV, and they look great - a little pixelly, yes, but consider the blow-up size. [Check out my picture on the "Customer Images" link.]
Some reviewers aren't real happy with the semantics of "true shake reduction" vs. a high shutter speed, but with the results I'm getting, I don't really care. This setting or the sports setting freeze action with clarity, and I'm getting the best shots I've ever taken.
I've used a lot of the features in a short time in order to test the camera, and so far the only blunders have been my own. I expect this to be the last camera I ever have, if it stands up to my frequent use.
Last but not least, it doesn't "eat" batteries - I took hundreds of photos before I needed to change batteries.
I chose to get the kit to avoid buying "piecemeal" and I'm glad I did. It's a little more costly but includes everything you could need. The little tripod works great, and with the 2G SD card you get over 1,000 highest-quality images and/or allows for a long video to be shot. Screen protectors are something that should be put on every camera, but I probably wouldn't have gone out and bought them separately. This is a great package which I highly recommend.
