Freak -  I also got one for $262, from Ebay. I have to believe that the price was a typoby the seller (i.e., intended to be $362). Have not tried video yet.  AF is great for still pics in bright...

teb100 -  I'm a real amateur at photography, I do RTFM, and most of my photos are of my family.IMHO, Henry has provided a lot of great advice in his post. I'd also suggest the following ideas: -...

So, it WAS a religious spiel.  A good one, too. ;-)

If price is a major factor, consider the F660EXR or F770EXR,which are available at fantastic prices right now.  They wouldseem to have very little difference in image quality from themore recent...

Thank you very much for checking. So, it sounds like at 5x (actual FL = 23mm;  35mm equiv ~ 125mm), the maximum aperture is still f3.5 ???  (Trying to get a more precise estimate of DoF.)

Hello -  The F900EXR manual indicates that the available apertures are"F3.5/F7.1/F10.0 (wide angle), F5.3/F11.0/F16.0 (telephoto)" Does anyone know specifically what focal lengths have the "wide...

It is available now: https://www.fujifilmusa.com/support/ServiceSupportProductContent.do?dbid=881500&prodcat=879821&sscucatid=664271

But note: ISO 1600.

Can those of you who own the camera comment on the speed & accuracy of its autofocus, especially in low light (indoors), without the AF illuminator light? Thank you.

Jimmy -  Your efforts are much appreciated, with or without EXIF data,

Dabbler -  The real focal length is, indeed, 7.1 - 28.4 mm (as marked on the front of the lens). 28-112 is the 35mm equivalent.

Nick - Would love to see any further shots that you have,as well as hearing about your impressions of thecamera's handling, performance, etc.Thank you!

TomTom - You're absolutely right; I was only thinking about the tele end of things.Also right about all P&S having deep DoF.  In fact, if someone just wants deep DoF, they should shoot with their...

I like that bokeh !Thanks for posting.  Please tell us more about your experience with the camera.

I don't think that's true (about the RX100 having shallowest DOF.  The RX100 has a smaller aperture at the tele end, and a rather short tele, which explains why its DOF is deeper.DPreview's DOF...

Markus - Thank you for this effort.I wonder if you can perform another test in which the distance from the camera is more variable, for the objects being focused upon.

Joe - I suggest choosing a camera made by the same company, and with the same size sensor.For XZ-10, for example, you could choose the Olympus TG-1.  It will allow you to chooseany aperture and...

Joe - To use the DOF calculator, first choose your camera (XZ-1).Then, enter the aperture that you want to use, the real focal length (not the 35mm equiv),and the distance of the subject (in feet...

Looking forward to your perspectives!

I stand corrected, but I think the point remains...
