Oooh please don't open that can of worms again. Take a closer look at the specs there are some major differences between the two. As to which you believe to be best camera is down to to personal choice. I have an S20 and think it's great, I'm sure that if I had an s7000 then I would think that was great as well. The S20 does not produce better images than the S7000 or vice versa, they produce different images using different technology and are therefore not comparable.
excuse me, but compared to what? certainly NOT compared to the s602 when compaing straight jpgs. I tried two of these s20s and was bitterly disappointed with the REDUCED dynamic range and harsh colors compared to the s602. I must admit that in raw, it was very nice, but be prepared to spend a LOT OF TIME on to make each image look good.
... and that does NOTHING for shadows out of the camera. Pity, it's where most of the image information is hidden.
If you really want to sell in the coming weeks, let me know!
... if you don't want to post process, that camera is NOT for you!
Better EVF and LCD (more luminous)
800 ISO at full res, now that's a big plus indeed.
Probably better finished (I mean the lens elements, I don't think the mechanicals are that different). The difference is very noticeable. You can't use the same profiles in PTLens as for the s602. The barrel distortion is much lower and the edge definition is definitely much better, but unfortunately it is really noticeable ONLY if you shoot in RAW.
It's much faster, you'd have faster autofocus response
The 3MP output should be fine
Well as you can see, I had it for two weeks and returned it... I much prefer the s602 as it gives better results right out of teh camera.
!I tried two. Results were identical. From a recent post, I maintain my opinion. Too contrasty, worse color although better resolution as compared to the s602.
It is totally different from the one on the s20 por. Not only in terms of size, but also in terms of geometry. Look a t the schematics. I wish they'd produce their next generation camera based on that sensor geometry (S and R pixels on thier ow individual locatiojs instead of paired up). That woudl indeed allow for true high resolution.
I did try TWO cameras and made EXTENSIVE tests side by side fora week. The only area the s20 beats the s602 is in RAW with MANUAL postprocessing (but whco wants to do that on 200 pictures daily!) and in terms of edge resolution and geometric distortion. As for the s602, I owned TWO of them and saw no difference. So in my EXPEREIENCE, the problem is not due to camera defects, it's a matter of design or firmware choice.
Yes, that's just the point. I don't have to stop at my s602 pictures, most of them turn out great without much manual intervention. Unfortunately, I couldn't achieve that with the two s20s I tried.The S20 pro is indeed the most hated Fuji camera, but i never
understood why such a negative vibe about it. The only thing that
was wrong was it's pricing when it came out, around $900, that whas
a bad move from fuji, the S20 is a good camera but not $900 good.
I got mine for 350eur. so for that price what could i get with the
same features?
Ohhhh.... well ....just look at them photos and forget it was a S20
that took them, maybe the photos will look better to ya then....
