OrganicPanda Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 hey all, amazon uk regularly emails me about deal or something (which i dont remember asking for but oh well) and this time the Fuji FinePix S7000 caught my eye at ?199, im a rather pesimistic person and i cant shake the feeling that a dslr for 200 is maybe a bit too good to be true, is this like bottom of the barrel stuff? if you hadnt allready desided yes i am new to slr photography allthough ive been taking pictures for years, might go digital if this turns out any good cheers, organicpanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 FYI, this is not a DSLR. It is an inferior point and shoot that mimicks some of the features of a DSLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 FYI, this is not a DSLR. It is an inferior point and shoot that mimicks some of the features of a DSLR. :yes: That is not a dSLR, it is what reviews call "slr-like" anyway check it out for yourself Conclusion - Cons Barrel distortion at full wide angle, pincushion distortion at telephoto SuperCCD image quality is often disappointing at default output size (12 MP) Occasional strong saturation response to reds, can lead to clipping "Super Macro" barrel distortion Sensitivity at full resolution limited to ISO 400, ISO 800 only at 3 MP or lower Selecting higher sensitivities affects image sharpness / adds strong noise reduction Limited continuous shooting performance, 3.3 fps for just 5 frames Impossibly slow play magnification mode, 11 seconds to full magnify Supplied RAW Converter LE offers no functionality, a waste of the RAW mode Still no direct adjustment of color saturation / tone image parameters Limited low light auto focus capability & no AF assist lamp Histogram not implemented in record review No user settings / memories No blinking highlights in histogram playback mod Check the pros and the whole review ( with photos and all ) here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
