Fujifilm Finepix S3500 Review

The Fujifilm Finepix S3500 is a 4 megapixel digital camera with a 6x optical zoom lens that is equivalent to 39 - 234 mm on a 35mm camera. First announced in August 2004, the S3500 is now available at a street price of under £200 / $250. Almost one year ago I reviewed the 3 megapixel successor to the S3500, the S3000, which was intuitive to use but suffered badly from only having one slow ISO speed (100) and slightly muted images. Have Fujifilm added enough extra features to make the S3500 a more capable camera and also still remain competitive in the fast-moving digital camera market? Read my review to find out.

3. Thanks for the effort and the detail provided, helps my appraissal considerably. Especially liked the illustration of the limit in use of camera. Would have liked a measure of the shutter delay time, the comparison with the Olympus SP510 I am considering has a poor delay time of 1.44 seconds. Cheers John

4. I was extremely impressed with the review wrote. It was easy to understand with enough technicality to be useful without being confusing to the amateur. It has been very helpful in enabling me to make a decision on whether or not to purchase. I found the sample photos informative as to the camera's capabilities. It was also great to see the different views of the camera. Well done - NO COMPLAINTS.
