Opinion: I think Fuji Finepix S20 Pro is FAT 32 not FAT 16.
I like it. I bought a super macro adapter
Raynox 250, and 55-52mm ring.
I't a good construction!
Problems: no
Opinion: The S20 is my "walking around" camera. I wanted to be able to leave my S2s in the
studio and still have a capable digital camera to carry around. The S20 will shoot in
camera raw - a big plus - and the picture quality has been excellent. It is also
possible to power the camera from the supplied AC adapter and shoot tethered to a
laptop computer. I have interpolated the images up to 16x20 @ 300 ppi with no
problem. There is very little blue channel noise, and battery life has been good.
Problems: An adjustment for me is the video viewfinder. It takes some getting used to,
although the combination of video freeze just prior to shutter release combined with
shutter lag makes the "decisive moment" a guessing game. I thought a few of the
controls and settings were needlessly complicated to get to. I carried the manual
around for a few weeks.
<edit> The lens has a prounounced barrel distortion, depending on the zoom
setting. Verticals in the frame are dramatically warped.
Opinion: very good after sales service and tech supports.
Problems: FAT 16 system reads up to only 2.14GB.
only 300 MB pix.
Opinion: The image quality is outstanding at ISO 400 and lower. After that noise becomes an issue. Colors are great, detail very good and the files hold up well when enlarged to 11x14. Also, the flash synch is good to 1/1000 so the S20 coupled with a Vivitar 283 makes a great combo for outdoor fill flash situations. All in all a great little camera with lots of pro features and pro quality. If you're shooting tethered, the Firewire and USB 2 connections speed things up and the built in PC socket for studio flash shows you Fuji engineered this camera for pro studio use. They didn't miss in this regard. Ease of use issues aside, this is a great camera for the pro shooter.
Problems: Would it kill Fuji to license a Nikon dedicated hot shoe? And when will they put all the options under one menu rather than hoping you'll remember to choose the "Menu" button or the "Fuji" button. Hey Fuji, everybody else uses one menu - they might be on to something. Lucky the quality compensates for these iritants.
