Fujifilm's FinePix S4500 offers up a long lens at a low price

While its photos and performance aren't stellar, the S4500 is still a bargain for megazoom fans.

The ; offers a 30x zoom lens, AA batteries for power, an electronic viewfinder, and manual and semimanual shooting modes all at a bargain price.

The S4500 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 S4500 one of the better megazoom cameras available for those on a budget.

Fujifilm FinePix S4500 Review

Fuji's FinePix S4500 is an incredibly versatile Mega-zoom digicam featuring a 30x Fujinon optical zoom lens. The S4500 also brings easy operation, excellent image quality and a lot of creative control to the table. Read more in our Full Conclusion.

Fujifilm FinePix S4500 Review

The Fujifilm FinePix S4500 is a superzoom camera with an impressive 24-720mm fiocal length, but features a slow lens (f/3.1-5.9). The camera fits well, handles well, but somehow, ends up feeling a little plastic. The use od CCD sensor makes us a little...

Impressive 24-720mm focal length, Decent image quality, Runs on AA batteries

Slow startup time, Low light performance leaves a lot to be desired

Fujifilm FinePix S4500 Digital Camera Review

The S4500 is certainly on the cheaper end of the scale particularly for the seriously generous amount of zoom it offers and in reality it has a slight cheap feel about it too – almost verging on deceptive in the sense that its smart looks don’t quite...

Fujifilm FinePix S4500 (Black) review

To avoid any confusion for what you're about to read, let's get something straight: The Fujifilm FinePix S4500, S4400, S4300, and S4200 are all the same camera, but with different lenses. The S4500 has a 30x f3.1-5.9 24-720mm lens; the S4400 a 28x...

The Fujifilm FinePix S4500 offers a 30x zoom lens, AA batteries for power, an electronic viewfinder, and manual and semimanual shooting modes all at a bargain price.

Excellent camera. Great Super zoom & macro features.

Very pleased with the capabilities, picture quality and performance of this camera!

great zoom lens, excellent macro, easy to use, long life battery, uses AA's which are available anywhere vs a proprietary battery, light weight. excellent picture quality. Supports SDHC which makes the 32 gig card I got my son last a long time.

No strap included to hold the lens cap when it's not on the lens.
