Fuji FinePix S602 Zoom
Editor's Review
The Fuji FinePix S602 provides the resources of an advanced high-resolution camera for photographers who don't need more than 3-megapixel resolution. Though it's priced much higher than other cameras of the same resolution, its powerful 6x optical zoom, high ISO capability, and a unique five-frame burst capability make it one of Digital Camera HQ's top 3-megapixel camera. Buyers should be aware of recurrent complaints about autofocus in low light, a potentially steep learning curve and a low-battery warning that doesn't trigger until the last minute.

Fuji FinePix S602 Zoom Comments & Questions (write your own!)
When I take a picture at any distance most of the pictures come out blurred and the close range focus wont focus properly either.
I thought with the first camera it might have just been the age of it so when I got a new one I hoped i would not have these problems again but after a month of getting it, it started having the same problems.
Has anyone else had these problems? and how did u sort out the prroblem?
If everything else is working, try to reformat the card. If that does not work you will have to get the computer to wipe all the data in the card followed by re-formating it Using the Camera. A card wiping program like <a href="whitecanyon.com/mediawiper-... one</a> will be useful.
In the worse scenario, just buy a new card to replace the old one.

Get one if you can find one. Takes great picutes. I wish I could get a more powerful telephoto lens than the one available. The cameral has a good "feel" and all the picture-taking options I want - whether I want to point-and-shoot or use the advanced features.

Firstly to be honest my sister-in-law and mother in law both own this camera not me; but i was searching for info because M.i.l. had a fault with hers when it developed black spots visible in the viewfinder and actually on prints...cot her �100+ to get repaired, now sis.i.law's camera has same problem...design fault? both cameras looked after and less than average use.

I bought a canon 300d recently,but still find that my 602 produces more vibrant photographs,at equal definition up to 10 by 8,or even greater.
The difference in colour saturation is obvious,particularly in interior shots,and a polarising filter is not really necessary for outside pictures either.
It is excellent for close ups,and of course occassional movies.
It is also a lot more compact,and the zoom is excellent too.
I bought mine new for £200 on-line,which was a bargain!

My two cents worth is about the compact flash card memory. I use the movie mode to document UL testing of our products. The quality is good on computer size screens. The movie mode eats up memory like crazy. So, 2.2 GB micro-drives are essential (about 35 minutes of video). A camera for avi. video applications is useless without the memory capability of a micro drive. Do not buy a camera for movie applications unless it will take micro drives.
Close ups down to several inches are great. You can actually use this camera as a portable scanner to take pictures of pictures. A picture of a drivers license blown up to 8-1/2 by 11 shows excellent detail.
