This Fujifilm FinePix S2950 14MP Digital Camera (Black) offers a lot for a photographer looking to upgrade to a more advanced camera: 14MP resolution, an amazing, high-quality wide-angle 18x optical zoom lens (28-504mm equivalent), an electronic viewfinder and advanced features commonly found in sophisticated DSLR cameras.
Beginning with a crystal-clear, 3" LCD monitor with 230K-dot resolution, the S2950 has high sensitivity up to ISO 6400 that allows you to take pictures at dusk and other low-light situations, and CCD shift image stabilization prevents camera shake from ruining a good shot. Automatic scene recognition will know when you're shooting a portrait, a landscape, a night portrait, a macro shot, etc. and make the right adjustments to give you the picture you want. The macro function allows you to photograph a subject as close as 0.78' (2 cm) from the lens. Tracking auto focus keeps a moving object in focus, and the face/smile/blink detection mode optimizes pictures of people, catching the smile and missing the blink.
And on top of all these techno-goodies, you get HD video with 720p resolution for those times when only a movie will do.

I purchased this camera back in February 2011, and having never been one to take photo,it turned out that I have a knack for it. A friend of mine owns the same camera but the quility of our photos different greatly. This camera is amazing.. I have taken clear photos of object nearly a quarter of a mile away during fires, and yet have taken some of the most beautiful portraits I have ever seen... well worth ever cent I spent on it. OH!! I dropped it on a cement floor and it bounced.... I nearly cried, but picked it up turned it on and it took pictures just like it never happened.

The shutter speed is way to slow on it as others have mention. It does feel like a cheap camera but the light weight feel is easy to pack around. I would recommend to anyone on a tight budget who wants a better zoom and picture. The picture quality is good better than my small camera ever took.

Comments about Fujifilm FinePix S2950 14MP Digital Camera (Black):
My nephew and I went 50/50 on this camera for his daughter after her 5.1 meg camera crashed. The difference between 5.1 and 14 MPs is quite noticable. She keeps it with her for her photo class in HS and really likes it. Her best pics are from the tripod (also from B&H) because of the stability. This camera should last her quite a few years....

I bought this for my wife after she dropped and broke her compact. She really wanted a camera with a view finder. This camera offers the view finder, huge zoom, and better picture quality than her last camera. All for a price that matches most compacts.

We are taking this camera to Europe and don't want to be dragged down with excess photographic equipment. The camera takes high quality photos and performs as stated. Camera has many of the same functions that high end DSLR cameras have. Can't beat the price that B&H offers. [...] I am checking out all of the camera features before our trip begins. Great price[...] and photos from B&H and Fuji.....

Easy to use. I'm still getting used to all the functions, but right out of the box, it takes great pictures. I started using the full auto, now I'm on scene selection. The zoom is fantastic. The digital zoom along with the optical zoom makes the moon look wondeful. This is exactly what I was looking for. Planning a trip soon. Expect it to shine in regular situations as well.

It's my multi-use camera, it's great for any situation. You can even 'play' with some features and take great photos. The slow shutter speed allows you to catch lots of light without increasing ISO.

I'm not an expert, but I wanted something a little more than a simple point and shoot. So far it has been a great camera. I has all the settings a DSR camera has (with its own limitations of course). The EVF and panoramic mode are my two favorite features

I got this camera after owning its predecessor for 8 years. I loved my old camera so I figured I would love the updated version of it. I was right! Also, the panorama option and the smile detection are really cool features.
