Fujifilm FinePix S100fs
11.1 megapixels | 2.5" screen | 28 – 400 mm (14.3×)
<p>High end 'bridge' camera that aims to offer the quality and versatility of a digital SLR in a fixed lens camera. The S100FS is an interesting package: one of the largest sensors we've seen in a non-DSLR for many years, a lens covering a 14.3x zoom range (that, importantly, starts at a usefully wide-angle 28mm equivalent), and the eighth generation of Fujifilm's Super CCD sensor technology. There's some photography-related features that have been added too, such as presets designed to mimic the behavior of specific Fuji films and a dynamic range expansion mode. Image quality, though excellent for a camera of this type, isn't perfect, but for many users - and uses - it's not far at all from what you'd get from an entry-level DSLR.</p>

The Fuji FinePix S100fs is an impressive camera, though its price makes it a tough call. It costs twice as much as other super zoom cameras, and more than some entry-level D-SLRs (though, to be fair, adding a comparable lens pushes the price of an SLR to over $1000). The S100fs is better than...
The Fuji FinePix S100fs is an impressive camera, though its price makes it a tough call. It costs twice as much as other super zoom cameras, and more than some entry-level D-SLRs (though, to be fair, adding a comparable lens pushes the price of an SLR to over $1000). The S100fs is better than other ultra zooms in most respects, save for purple fringing, RAW editing, and battery life. Is it $300 - $400 better? I'm not so sure of that. If you're willing to part with nearly $700 on a fixed-lens camera, then the FinePix S100fs is absolutely worth a look. However, I'd take a close look at both cheaper ultra zooms as well as entry-level D-SLRs before you buy it.
