And it makes good pictures! ISO 100 and 200, these almost as good as with my Canon EOS 30D, but only almost. But it is my Canon also do not replace, but can be used for occasions where I do not want to lug my 6kg equipment or can or want to. Depending on.
At ISO 400 images are already slightly noisy, but to correct well with the noise correction of Paint Shop Pro X2. We spread over the images from ISO 800 rather from the cloak of silence. I have not seen any digicam that makes 800 good pictures from iso except the DSRL. As long as the pixel craze continues with small chips, as long as it will remain so.
The manual zoom is very nice. I prefer the each rocker.
Shutter lag Unfortunately disturbs me a little. Especially in fast objects such as jump into the water animals such as polar bears, one should work with the Serienbildfunnktion. Then you create it, to catch the animal in jump, because with a still image is pressed from the jump and photographed only the landing. In the continuous shooting mode then is the decisive moment in the picture.
For a day at the zoo especially with pursuing auto zoom and image stabilization should have at least two, preferably three battery case. This function sucks the battery empty faster than you comply with photographing. Especially when you're on the move with the turned-camera, because then the camera focuses continuously, even if you do not actually want to photograph. Either put on single-shot or turn the camera off. This then saves electricity.
After a day at the zoo, I do not want to miss this camera. It is almost perfect.
Better shutter lag, 800 ISO speed noise-free, energy-efficient and higher capacity battery and the Fujifilm could almost my Canon EOS 30D are dangerous ...
But only almost, because bright telephoto zoom is no Bridge would ever offer. ;)
