New Digital Camera

User Reviews about Fujifilm FinePix S1500 10MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle Dual Image Stabilized Optical Zoom

This is my second Fuji camera. I had a very inexpensive Fuji that I purchased with my computer in 2002. It was one of the best cameras I ever had. I even won a photo contest with it. When I decided to upgrade I did a lot of research and decided on the 1500. It worked like a charm until my recent vacation. I had the camera for less than 2 years and the LCD screen died. I can still take pictures, but cannot sight them or review them on the LCD. When I checked on how much it was to repair, I was told it was better just to buy a new camera. I am not in the position to spend that kind of money every few years. So I am disappointed with the product. -- durability

I have been concerned about photos being out of focus. Or just not sharp. I blamed it on the camera, but wasn't positive since they looked sharp on the TV and on the camera LCD. I had a friend with a new LCD monitor view them and he told me they were all very sharp and even his wife commented on that without prompting.
So if you have out of focus pics, be sure you rule out the fact that an older CRT low resolution monitor could be the real cause. Not the camera. Hook it to the TV, have a few printed or have someone with a recent LCD monitor try them out before concluding anything. -- Be sure your monitor is high resolution

Good camera. Replaced 2005 Canon Powershot S2 IS with no drop off in quality, and much cheaper [relative to current competition, then and now]. -- Finepix S1500 - good value

My father loves this camera. The setting are very user friendly. He said it was the best Father's Day gift ever. -- Daddy's camera
