Fujifilm's FinePix S4200 review: Long lens, low price

 

Editors' note: This review was conducted with the FinePix S4500 , which is nearly identical to the S4200 except as indicated below.

The Fujifilm FinePix S4200 offers a 24x zoom lens, AA batteries for power, an electronic viewfinder, and manual and semimanual shooting modes all at a bargain price.

The S4200 feels and performs like a low-end point-and-shoot. Requires a lot of light to get good photos and videos in auto.

A nice feature set and a long lens make the Fujifilm FinePix S4200 one of the better megazoom cameras available for those on a budget.

Fujifilm FinePix S4200 Review

Once we'd concluded our test shots, we made one decision about the Fujifilm FinePix S4200: It's not a camera to rush around with. Taking landscapes, cityscapes, posed portraits, still life and macro subjects are great. The camera works fine doing these...

It was just earlier this year that Fujifilm launched its new S-series high-end bridge cameras, but it didn't seem to have hit many stores in SA yet. What i

Excellent camera

 

Great camera, larger chip, higher zoom, higher capacity recording medis

Horrible customer support! Company will not respond to eMails, and has horrible input forms. But I guess that a mute point, since they fail to respond to such submissions. Beware of boxes that do not contain lens caps to protect the lenses.

One great little unit

 

I'm normally a exclusive Nikon snob but I couldn't get over the price. I wanted a camera with a long zoom to take backpacking that was smaller than my Nikon DSLR. That meant I didn't have to change lenses. The ease of use for this unit is amazing. I...

24X zoom Panorama mode Full exposure control Can use the electronic viewfinder Large LCD screen Up to 6400 ISO Fast startup Great continuous mode Really good battery life
