'Looking at the sharpness of the shots the Finepix S1800 does well for a camera with a wide angle lens, especially when the lens is zoomed out. '
'Shutter-lag is a bit disappointing at about 0.1 second when pre-focused and 0.5 seconds including focusing time.'
'Image quality not up to par with competition; Weak flash; Poor HD video results; Excessive noise above ISO 400 makes the higher options almost useless; Tiny EVF eye piece; LCD is reflective; Sporadic white balance results when using Auto setting; Lack of Aperture value control in the specified A position on the mode dial makes it difficult to control DOF (either wide open or closed down, nothing in between). '
'The Fuji S1800 will be available in February 2010 at a retail price of $229.95.'
'compact and lightweight 10 megapixel digital camera'
'this Fuji FinePix digital camera is able to capture up to fifteen minutes of high-definition video.'
'Slow performance.'
'Other kit includes a pop-up flash unit that is great as a fill-in but a little underpowered as anything more major; there’s no hot shoe so you’re stuck with this.'
'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.'
