Huge 14.3x zoom lens, sharp colourful pictures, lots of features, speedy operation

Some chromatic aberration issues, electronic viewfinder

FujiFilm's FinePix S100fs is a great pseudo-SLR camera. Its 11.1 megapixel sensor and large 28-400mm lens capture great snaps and the manual shooting modes combined with speedy operation make it flexible and powerful.

Impressive zoom range ; Good feature set

In the same price range as DSLRs ; Hit and miss picture quality

The S100FS is competing directly with entry-level DSLRs. It easily beats them with its zoom range but doesn’t match them for picture quality. It will appeal, though, to photographers on a fixed and final budget who nevertheless want a camera that can...

Excellent, versatile lens ; Decent noise control ; Raw performance

Marked purple fringing ; Electronic viewfinder

As a bridge camera, the Fujifilm FinePix S100FS is definitely closer to the dSLR side of the bridge than the compact. Fujifilm has packed it with features and given many of them their own controls. The Olympus SP-560 UZ may be less intimidating, while...
