Comments about FujiFilm FujiFilm FinePix S1500 Digital Camera:

I could not believe I found everything I wanted in one camera. Never considered the fujifilm brand before, but this works just as great as any of the top brands out there, and it has movie mode. Several varied features and styles is extremely hard to find in one camera. Everyone should consider this brand with the other top brands out there. Great buy!

Comments about FujiFilm FujiFilm FinePix S1500 Digital Camera:

I love this camera!!! We bought it before our daughter was born and it has served us well. I've gotten many many great shots!!!!! It is easy to use and takes great pictures.

My only complaint is that the flash is in an odd place, whenever I ask someone to take a picture of our family they accidentally hold down the flash so that it can't pop up.

I found this product easy to use and very lightweight. Excellent camera to take on vacation. Large screen lets you view picture, and if it's not what you were looking for in quality, you can take another one.

Comments about FujiFilm FujiFilm FinePix S1500 Digital Camera:

I do not recommend this camera...I use this for concert use and it freezes up every other picture. I don't know about anyone else but you only have one chance to get that perfect picture and having to take the batteries out everyother time to restart it just isn't cool.

Comments about FujiFilm FujiFilm FinePix S1500 Digital Camera:

I just bought this camera a few days ago and I can't seem to put it down. I feel that the pictures and videos I get from it, make me look professional. In other words, "very easy to use."
I can't find anything I don't like about this camera except the fact that it doesn't have anything to cover the LCD screen.
If it had something to cover the screen, it would be the greatest camera I have ever owned.
Thanks for reading and I would compare this camera to others and I don't think there are any simular. They may look simular but believe me, they are not.
Great little camera!

Comments about FujiFilm FujiFilm FinePix S1500 Digital Camera:

I highly recommend that no one purchase this camera. I took a video with the camera a few weeks after I bought it and upon playing it back, I realized that every time I zoomed in or out during recording, it made a very loud creaking noise that drowns out the sound I want in the video, like people voices. If you don't plan on taking video then its a fine camera. But I emailed FUJIFILM and they said that sound is normal. So buyer beware.
