DCMAG.co.uk Reviews Fuji FinePix S3000
DCMAG.co.uk have reviewed the Fuji FinePix S3000 digital camera, which features 3.24 effective million pixels, 6X Fujinon optical zoom and digital movie recording. The S300 uses xD-Picture Card (16MB to 512MB) storage and its lens focal length is equivalent to 38-228mm on a 35mm camera. The list price for the S300 is £290 / $399.95.
“The one sticking point with the S3000 is the electronic viewfinder, a small LCD screen mounted within the eyepiece. A proper optical viewfinder is, to many enthusiasts, superior to an EVF, because if you?re shooting in less-than-perfect lighting with an EVF, gauging your composition becomes sheer guesswork. A sensor tries to overcome the disparities between light and shade, but you often lose detail in areas of shade, even if they may be intelligible in the final photograph thanks to flash.”
