Then, if you decide to sell, MPB will pick up your kit with a free insured DPD collection and you’ll get paid cash into your account within days. My only criticism of the panorama mode is that while being so easy to use it doesn’t offer any settings such as setting the level of zoom or how many photographs to stitch together. I hope to put this right in the future, but having planned to take some photographs for a review I was hampered by the weather which has been alternating between snow and rain, neither of which is really conducive to showing off what a camera can do. Therefore I thought the Fuji s2980 would give me experience as now and I could then make a better judgement on a better bridge or slr.

As you can see from the example pictures included here the zoom is very good, picking up detail well even in dull overcast weather.I really appreciate the defined photo terminology, this camera seems like it will be a good fit for our busy toddler, low budget and need for more features. I have always used a lens filter with all my cameras so as to protect the lens – do you, and if so what one would you recommend.

To transfer your photos to a computer, connect the camera to the computer using the provided USB cable. This camera comes equipped with an image stabilizer, ensuring that images remain clear and sharp even in low light conditions. It balances ease of use with advanced features, making it suitable for both beginner and amateur photographers alike. I’ve been contemplating this camera too, and like you, I found it very difficult to find any review which was by someone using it for real and which included sample images. You can use the zoom while recording, which is very useful, but be aware that while the lens is zooming in or out the video will be out of focus and that the noise of the lens changing focus will be noticeable on the video due to the location of the cameras built in microphone.

I would want to bring the camera often when out on a walk, not sure whether the S2980 is easy to carry around. There is also a bright Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) which makes it easier to compose your pictures in low-light or when using the zoom. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 2cm, allowing you to get close for a decent macro shot. greetings…this has been v/helpful,looked at many ,many cameras and reviews of same…do not need a professionals weapon. I have purchased the Fuji Finepix this week – and I am having difficulty getting the flash to work (everything else is working fine).

There isn’t a full time battery level indicator, but decent rechargeable batteries will last a long time and you will get a warning when the batteries are getting low on power. The 3 inch LCD doesn't have a high resolution, so it's hard to get a good idea of how your pictures have turned out until you view them on your computer. The camera is surprisingly good and for people on a budget it is definitely a very capable camera, only issue I’ve had is when I was photographing some ship wrecks in the rain and the lcd viewer somehow gets water under the screen so you can see it fine but you see what looks like condensation on it but after a few minutes out of the rain that goes away.Most of the pics I take are landscape shots but the shutter speed is pretty good, there is always the burst mode which will let you take a lot of shots very quickly.
