Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S700 Digital Camera:
Bought this camera while on vacation and it was a joy to use. I started shooting almost right out of the box and it is really easy to use. The picture quality is also excellent and the settings are very easy to learn in just a short time. The use of AA batteries is also good because it's easy to get replacements in a pinch.

Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S700 Digital Camera:
This camera takes nice pictures, the 10x lens makes it possible to get good wildlife pictures. I got a nice picture of a spider sized white crab on the beach and pelicans, The camera is very capable of any shot.
I will leave my pocket nikon home next time because this camera is light and not that obvious.
If you read the mamual it will take sunsets. I used all the options and erased the failures. Joys of digital.

Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S700 Digital Camera:
The actual camera is a great value -- has a bunch of great features and manual control for a low price. HOWEVER with in 72 hours of buying it, the mode dial broke off. B&H gave me a whole new replacement camera the very next day w/ no trouble, but I was slightly turned off! This camera really is wonderful though, and its best quality is its value.
