I chose this model because I was quite satisfied with a correspondingly older predecessor of Fuji 14 years old. Unfortunately me this new camera from Fujifilm has just disappointed. After about 600 shots the electronics completely failed (despite full accus drove the lens after power is no longer out and the display also remained dark, only the small control diode still lit up green). Previously I tried probably for almost all shooting modes. Particularly weak autofocus is to assess: too slow, especially with macro shots a focusing was despite adequate lighting at all possible times, in many situations, the shutter responded only 3-4 seconds after pressing, especially in Sport mode, this is an absolute no go. For optics unfortunately is not much positive to say, despite the highest resolution and best light many images were (especially in portrait shots) not be regarded as sharp, fine patterns and details was doing a pabulum. Overall, I can, unfortunately, not make any recommendation.
