Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom Review

by Nikki Echler McDonald and Carla Thornton

- With its film camera-like shape, Fujifilm's FinePix S602 Zoom is a professional-looking unit. Its large grip makes the 1.3-pound camera easy to hold in one hand-even while you work the top-mounted controls for flash, exposure compensation and autobracketing. One standout feature is its 6X optical zoom lens (along with a 4.4X digital zoom). The camera houses dual media slots, one for a SmartMedia memory card (a 16MB card comes bundled with the unit) and a second slot for a CompactFlash card or a high-capacity IBM Microdrive.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Great pictures. Nice features. Easy to use.

Weaknesses: battery life using flash

Overall Evaluation: I think most potential buyers get caught up with camera extras and forget the main reason to buy a camera is for picture quality. The Fuji S602 takes incredible pictures and has lots of extras. My son takes loads of pictures for our soccer team and we get countless families raving about the quality of the developed images. They can't believe the pictures are from a digital camera. They are consistently rich and never washed out. The extra features are easy to find and use and the convenience of a Compact Flash makes downloading directly onto a computer easy using a media reader. I haven't developed pictures from the 6 mp tiff mode but the pictures are even more impressive on my computer than the already super quality of the 3 mp fine jpeg images. I have two sets of rechargeable batteries so battery life really isn't an issue. I imagine most batteries have trouble holding up under heavy flash use. This is a great camera.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: You will Feel Like a Professional

Weaknesses: Needs some getting used to

Overall Evaluation: I was looking for a camera with which i can get some nice family pics (hated going to photo shops and spending upward of sixty dollar for few pics).After two generic digital camera. Decided to buy a "expensive" camera. Found Fuji on a web site. Did some research and read nothing but great reviews for the most part.After the delivery of camera, I was not impressed. Few days later family went out to Central Park NY city . I decided to take some pictures with young kids. What an experience, it is not easy to take pictures with young kids. JUST A FEELING PLEASE ------->" i was a little disappointed as I thought pictures might not turn out to my liking".Guess what 8"x10" on KODAK Paper came out so NICE. PEOPLE THOUGHT that a PROFESSIONAL has taken the pictures. For once, I got RAVE review for a job;)HENCE, if you are just looking for a family camera, I WILL suggest this over any other.It is features loaded. I am still learning. It is not that bad in battery consumption as some reviews might lead on to. I took about 50 pictures with one set of batteries and have yet to change it.
