This boy must be confused.
Happy and disappointed at the same time.

Hi, I'm from Singapore, sold off my 7 months old first digital camera Fujifilm 2800z and upgrade to Fujifilm S602z on 4 Jun 2002. After taking some shots and trying some of the functions for about a month, I'm very happy and satisfied with its features. Some reasons why I upgrade to S602 compared to 6900 and 2800 is because:
i.) It can take both CF type I & II and SmartMedia cards.
ii.) Unlimited time video recording with audio
iii.) Uses AA size battery (recommend to use AA rechargeable battery more economical)
iv.) Improved CCD (3rd Generation)
v.) Super Macro mode setting (Can take a picture as close as 1cm or less than ½ inch from the lens)
vi.) Camera has a very firm grip and well balanced weight like holding a SLR pro camera
vii.) Fast focus and shutter speed when taking a shot
viii.) ISO can be set up to 800 & 1600
Beside the improve features, it also gives an excellent image quality for a 3MP & 6MP (interpolated) digital camera with 6x zoom. Great shots for day outdoor scenery.
Although I read a lot of review and comparison between the S602z and Nikon 5700. What really made me decided to buy the S602z rather than waiting for the Nikon 5700 to be out in July 2002 was that the LCD screen is very small 1.5" for Nikon 5700 as compare to 1.8" for S602 and in long run AA size battery either alkaline or rechargeable is more practical instead of using the Lithium-Ion type battery & charger which is more costly. Price are more expensive for the Nikon 5700 due to it's brand and 5MP.
Would like to share some of the shots taken with my S602z camera with different setting:

For such a digital camera with 3MP should give at least a 64MB SmartMedia or CF card instead of the 16MB card. What can I shoot for a 16MB if I set to 3M Fine or 6M Fine?
Disappointed with the low light auto-focus problem, start appearing the hand shaking icon on the EVF or LCD even under lighting which I thought wasn't that "Low" at all. Even a room with floor area 4 x 5 m2 with a florescent light also consider "Low" light. Have to use built-in or external flash. Need tripod stand if flash not use. Built-in flash range not long distance enough, up to 3-4m only.
