Fujifilm Finepix S2500HD Camera Review
Recently, I went to the annual IT show held during March 2010 at Suntec City, Singapore and I manage to get myself a Fujifilm Finepix S2500HD camera. This camera is actually from the semi-pro series. Initially, what I really had in mind was a normal stylish camera like the CANON IXUS series which was compact and portable. However, my decision swayed when I saw the huge difference in picture quality while the price was comparable.
Firstly, the 18X zoom was a standout among others in its series at just 15X zoom. One such example at the show was the Nikon L110. At 18X maximum zoom, the image is still crisp and sharp. The Fujinon lenses are really awesome! Furthermore, it is equipped with a 35mm equivalent wide lense which allows you to capture the real depth and scale of a scene.
Next, this camera is also able to capture HD videos and HD still images vividly. It comes with a mini HDMI port which allows you to connect the camera to a HD ready television to preview your videos and images on a large screen. The camera also comes with a 12MP image sensor which further assist in capturing lavish and vivid details.
What I hate most about normal cameras is about blurry pictures. I understand that nowadays many cameras already support image stabilization. I am not in a position to comment about how other cameras' image stabilization fair in contrast to my camera, I can just say I am really pleased with how my Fujifilm Finepix works. I hardly get any blurs with my pictures even with unsteady hands. What's more is that you can also adjust the aperture speed to capture a image faster. The maximum shutter speed for this model is 1/2000s.
Another useful feature that I like is its zoom bracketing feature. It allows you to zoom and crop your pictures on the spot without having to go through the hassle of Photoshop.
Lastly, there are many modes including the scene modes, manual modes, and automatic modes. Whether you are a beginner new to cameras or you are a semi-expert ready to tune your camera, I believe it has a mode suitable for you. It also has the panaromal mode that allows you to capture multiple shots to form a continuous picture if what you are taking does not fit within a single shot.
In conclusion, I hope this article has given you a brief insight about this camera and assist you further in your purchase. Personally, I am EXTREMELY pleased with the camera and hope you will too if you decide to choose this as your camera!
