    Great Starter Camera for a great price

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 30, 2006 | 11 out of 11 found this Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd review helpful

    Pros: Good quality pictures, 10x optical zoom, easy to use, face detection

    Cons: no case or memory card

    I recently bought this digital camera and have been very satisfied so far. I was in search of a great camera that didn't blow my budget. This camera is an excellent value for it's price, I wanted to see if I would like photography but didn&...#39;t want to spend tons on an SLR. It has an easy auto focus feature, as well as manual for photographers in the making. The 10x optical zoom is outstanding, and the pictures are crisp and well focussed. I have made a few 8x10pictures off the memory stick and they are nice and clear. The battery life is good, I haven't noticed it draining quickly. The only downside is you have to purchase a bigger memory card, since you can only take a few photos on the internal memory. I have had this camera for 2 months and already taken 1000 photos!! I love it!! Did I mention the face detection! Hit the nearest retailer and try it out. You will really like it. I highly recommend!!! Read more Less

    Excellent Camera for the Price

    By GregG  Jun 2, 2007 | 5 out of 5 found this Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd review helpful

    Pros: Amazing photo quality for 6MP, looks really professional, 10.7x zoom, virtually no shutter lag

    Cons: Has some trouble focusing at full zoom at times, no true image stabilization

    For a while I had been researching many cameras as a step up from my point-and-shoot and I knew this one would be a winner. Two days after getting this camera I took a trip to the San Diego Zoo and had incredible results straight from the box. ... On the positive side, the camera&#3
    9;s 10.7x OPTICAL zoom mahelps you get closer to most things (i.e. birds in an aviary). This combined with the high amount of detail retained at mid ISO range and little shutter lag makes it highly versatile. I like how the camera actually looks like a professional camera as opposed to those small box-like cameras. There are few problems to this camera, however. When fully extending the zoom, the camera has trouble focusing at times. Also, the camera&#3
    9;s take on image stabilization is simply raising the ISO and Shutter Speed (something you can do yourself); increasing ISO to its maximum degrades image quality. While the lack of true image stabilazion may be a deal breaker for some, after some research I discovered many cameras have image stabilization at the cost of increased purple fringing (the weird purple outline around some objects in pics)and picture noise. The camera is actually rather stable and so far I have not seen a blurry pic. I must say I that this camera has exceeded my expectations. I recommend this camera for anyone who wants something better than a point and shot but does not want to spends too much money on a dSLR. With a little work, you can take excellent photos with this camera.     Read more Less

    Super Camera for the Money

    By Mohan  Oct 26, 2007 | 2 out of 2 found this Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd review helpful

    Pros: Super Zoom, Manual Controls, ISO levels for Low Light, AAA batteries and many more

    Cons: Optical Stabilization (many others have already mentioned it)

    I used this camera for 3 Dance programs, the pictures have have come out very nice. This camera produces stunning pictures in low light (upto ISO 1600). This is a very good camera for the money. It also has RAW format which I have to try out yet. Wit...h the manual zoom it makes me feel as a Pro (still an ameture). Read more Less

    Till death do us part...

    By Jarques  Apr 22, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd review helpful

    Pros: Excellent picture quality from only 6.3MP. Comfortable ruberised grip. Manual Zoom control. 10.7 Optical zoom. Battery life. Face Detection, RAW capability. Great Macro and Super Macro shots! Great sensor size and resolution (MP) match! Excellent value for money!

    Cons: ISO performance against its peers and even Canon 400D DSLR. Noise reduction software leaves smears or blotches on pics when zooming into picture. Continuous shooting slow on pic-pic times. Refocussing in fast motion slow. Color representation not too great when flash in not used under less than full sun situations (ISO 100) (magenta, red etc.)

    If Internal Memory was more (say 128MB - more the better) true continuous shooting would be awesome – approaching SLR speed. Image stabilization would be a bonus in some cases. The feel of the controls can perhaps be a little more rock solid.

    Best there is

    By joe m  Nov 4, 2007 | 1 out of 2 found this Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd review helpful

    Pros: very fast shutter speed

    Cons: all function a little complicated

    This is the camera to beat if possible. There is no better camera on the market. This is a semi pro camera for dummies. GREAT

    Love my Fujifilm S6000FD

    By __A_YAHOO_USER__  Apr 21, 2009

    Pros: Does what I need it to

    Cons: manual focus is pretty much useless

    Takes great pictures. On occasion the sky may get washed out, but that seems to be a problem with a lot of digital cameras. I shoot mostly scenic type shots so shutter lag isn't a problem but it seems to focus pretty quickly most of the time. Whe...n it can't auto focus I try and aim at something in the foreground to get a lock. The only gripe I have with it is when it can't auto focus, pictures of clouds or smoke, switching to manual focus isn't a big help. If it was a true manual focus that would be great but it electronically enlarges the middle of the frame on the viewfinder and then you turn the focus ring one way or the other to try and get a focus. I also wish that the distance was measured in good ole feet instead of meters. Read more Less

    Very easy to use yet outstanding camera

    By lovergirl  May 24, 2008

    Pros: Power of an dslr.

    Cons: When zoomed,it takes slow action to focus.

    I had this camera for about a DAY now,and i can tell that its a very good camera.I went out and took alot of pictures.The camera is great for photography.Mind you,i am only 15 years old.And this camera is for me to start out as a beginner in photogra...phy.Even though not an slr, its functions are like an slr.I've used canon eos 400d and nikon d40 and i can say this camera is very good. It also uses natural light to enhance the natural ambience when shots are taken in low-light conditions. Another good thing is that its auto focus is accurate.But sometimes,when zoomed,the focus seems slow in adapting the picture. So far,ive tried high shooting speed and there is no problem as no pictures were blurred. This is a great camera to work on photography skills.I strongly recommend this camera for all those starters,like me. Read more Less

    Early Failure of Imaging System

    By jane  Apr 5, 2008

    Pros: Good pictures in most light, full-auto with good manual control ability

    Cons: CCD/Shutter failed after 1 month

    Purchased this camera from an online retailer 6 weeks before a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to Glacier National Park. The imaging system failed after one month, and had to be shipped to NJ for repair. It was not repaired in time to take on the trip, i...n fact did not arrive back for 2 months, so I was very disappointed. One other quality/design issue, the battery door does occasionally open if bumped and dump the batteries. Since I got it back, everything seems to work alright. I have taken pictures of the lunar eclipse and Perseid meteor shower with very good results (using manual settings to get the best results) and very good exposures in a variety of light conditions. Autofocus is fairly good, but it does have problems focusing on my chocolate Lab in interior shots, or other low contrast shots. The flash provides good illumination without washing out the pictures. I use standard 58mm filters screwed on to the end of the lens, and I really like that the batteries are not proprietary, standard AA NiMH. Read more Less

    Great cam

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 1, 2008

    Pros: good img quality, big zoom range, fast in use etc.

    Cons: maybe no optical stabilization

    Okay, I wanted something more that just a "point-and-shoot&quo
    t; camera and for reasonable money. After all that research the S600fd/S6500fd seemed as the best for me and now, when I already got it, must say I love it. It's really nice it ha...s bigger sensor and less pixels that many other fixed-lens cameras. Due to this fact the image quality is fine, even when higher ISO is used, that compensate that lack of optical stabilization. It's impressively fast - immediately prepared for shooting and has no shutter lag. Zoom range is decent - and the 28 mm (35 mm equiv.) comes in handy for me as I shoot mostly landscapes. Mechanically linked zoom is more than useful. Thanks to its size and weight, it's very easy to hold. Really, I wouldn't choose any better for that price. Read more Less

    Positive

    By Gregory  Nov 11, 2007

    Pros: +

    Cons: +

    To be honest when I bought it because of it's price... But from there on... I kept been disapointed POSITIVELY.... What I expected it was just a simple digital camera... But actually it is a great one... If you don't have the money for a Cann...on or a Nikon but you want to make professional pictures, this is one of the cameras for it... And actually you can get loads of things for accesories for it... And IF you in case grow it out, you can get like the S9500fd, and the extra features you bought will work with them.... Great....
