Best Fuji Digital Cameras - 1.7 to 2.5 in. LCD Screen Size, 4 x AA Batteries Included Accessories

'A related issue for all the camera can be a little frustrating to use for even close-in shots.'

'Noticeable shutter delay.'

'No AF illuminator'

'Some annoyances include the lousy movie mode, lack of a file numbering system, and poor low light focusing. '

'At ISO 1,600 detail completely falls apart, with heavy chroma noise, very bright noise pixels and other visible noise reduction artifacts.'

'I left out the ISO 3200 and 6400 samples from this comparison since they're so utterly bad.'

'when the light's not so good, capture lag jumps to an unacceptably high 2.2 seconds'

'However, it takes quite a bit of effort to adapt to the S700's design, which ranges from simply odd in places--you increase shutter speed and aperture with the down arrow and decrease them via the up arrow--to downright frustrating in others.'

'Bad manual focus'

'a better focus system could have been designed.'

'The controls, menus, and buttons can be confusing and counterintuitive'

'At ISO 1600, noise was very noticeable despite noise suppression'

'The problem is that they only save 3 images at a burst, which compares poorly with competing cameras, and limits the usefulness of a burst mode in the first place – a 3-frame sequence won't tell the story of a sports play, or a bouquet toss, et cetera.'

'2.5 inch LCD is average'

'pictures at the maximum ISO 1,600 look very grainy, almost as if you had applied an impressionist art filter in an image-editing program'

'Some softness due to noise.'

'Images shot at ISO 1600 looked noisy.'
