Fujifilm Finepix S100fs Review



Review Summary

Review (Summary): The Fujifilm Finepix S100fs has "one of the largest sensors we've seen in a non-DSLR for many years, a lens covering a 14.3x zoom range (that, importantly, starts at a usefully wide-angle 28mm equivalent), and the eighth generation of FujiFilm's Super CCD sensor technology. There's some photography-related features that have been added too, such as presets designed to mimic the behavior of specific Fuji films and a dynamic range expansion mode. ...

... Most importantly, the S100FS's image quality is generally very good (particularly in resolution and noise terms). There is some noise reduction smearing of fine detail but this is rarely a big problem. ... There is a cloud on the horizon, though, and its a cloud with oddly-colored edges. Chromatic aberration (CA) is a major problem at the focal lengths that are likely to be most used. ..."

Review (Summary): "... The S100FS offers a 14.3x 28-400mm manual zoom lens, optical image stabilization, 11 megapixel 2/3” Super CCD sensor, 2.5-inch tiltable LCD screen, electronic viewfinder, ISO 100-10,000, 3fps continuous shooting, wide dynamic range of 100-400%, and a range of Film Simulation modes. Phew! With no entry- or mid-range DSLRs in their product range, Fujifilm has developed the S100FS from the ground-up to challenge the likes of the Canon EOS 450D, Nikon D60 and Olympus E-420 DSLR models. ...

... As you’d expect from a Fujifilm model at this level – and what impressed us with the S5 Pro - is both the level of detail delivered (images generally possessing a good depth of field and a sharp, crisp finish with the camera left to its default settings), and moreover the colors, providing a result closer to that perceived by the human eye than expected. ..."

Review (Summary): "The Fujifilm FinePix S100fs is the "almost DSLR" Super Zoom. Not only does it handle and feel like a DSLR, it is also easy enough in point-and-shoot mode to obtain high quality images that are properly exposed and with pleasant colors. ...

... The 14.3x optical zoom covers a wide-angle 28mm to tele 400mm (equiv.) in one compact lens. Perfect for those who do not fancy carrying extra lenses - and no more missed shots because you had to stop to change lens. ...

... if you are already comfortably using a DSLR, the S100fs comes close to a DSLR performance and image quality - within the limits imposed upon it by a small sensor. The major difference you may notice is that its AF speed and High ISO image quality cannot match those of a DSLR ..."

Review (Summary): "The Fuji FinePix S100fs ($799) is one of the more unique fixed-lens cameras on the market today. It features a larger-than-normal (2/3"), 11.1 Megapixel SuperCCD HR sensor, which (at least in theory) should give it better low light and high ISO performance than other compact cameras. The other "big" feature on the S100fs is its impressive lens: it covers an incredible range of 28 - 400 mm, and it has optical image stabilization, too. ...

... The S100fs outshines its ultra zoom competitors in the photo quality department, except when it comes to purple fringing. That, along with the usual SuperCCD detail smudging, are really the camera's only weaknesses in this area. The S100fs takes well-exposed photos with good color saturation and pleasing sharpness. ..."
