Heavy but very good [Posted on 2008-07-01]
This is a great camera for a non DSLR. The features are extensive and the camera can be used either by a novice or advanced amateur with little difference in the final outcome. The zoom is very good and easy to use and you don't have to cart separate lenses, etc. The view finder and display are both available which beats most DSLRs which is a plus for those who like versatility. It can be held above heads and still get a preview of the picture with the tilt screen. As with most cameras with a 400mm zoom, it is relatively heavy, but the results are worth the weight.
Great camera [Posted on 2008-07-26]
Purchased this camera a few days ago (from 6th Ave, through Amazon - VERY fast shipping!) as a replacement for my DSLR. The DSLR (Canon XTi) makes better pictures for sure, but the convenience, the tiltable LCD, the wide range (28-400) of the lens, the ability to make movies, and the large CCD are good reasons (for me) to drop the DSLR for this one. (why in this digital age do we still need SLR like setups????)
I originally purchased my Canon as a replacement for my Sony F828 (unfortunately, Sony does not make any camera anymore that have the great design of the F828!), and I found myself struggling going backwards in time - missing the convenience of the F828 (tilting the body/lens) badly.
After doing a lot of research I ended up with the S100FS.
I can highly recommend this camera if you're (like me) in need of a good camera, but you just do not want to deal with the limitations of a DSLR.
Hear, hear! [Posted on 2008-07-29]
The previous reviewers have said most of what I want to say. Have had the camera for just a little over a fortnight. Still have to see the purple fringing problem (probably since I take a lot of interior and low-available-light shots). The flash is stronger than I was led to believe by some digital camera review sites. The ability to use SD cards is a great relief since it's suddenly become difficult to find high speed Xd cards where i live. A zippy, do-it-all wonder: everyone I've shown it to (even the DSLR owners) can't help firing off a few shots-- an unexpected psychic reward.
I love this camera!!!! [Posted on 2008-07-30]
I oerdered the camera sunday evening (7-27-08) on this site. And I received it today (7-30-08) and only $7.35 for shipping (3-5 days) I got it before that! I absolutely Love this camera. It is bigger than the Fuji s9100 I had. I love every feature about it. It takes awesome pictures.I can't wait to use it more. I already ordered another battery for it and I plan on getting an ATP 16 gb sdhc card for it. I also am wanting to get a sunpak auto 383 super external flash!!! And of course lens filters for this whopping 67 mm lens. And I am very happy with Amazon.com for shipping it out fast and in great condition. Thank you Amazon!!
I'm through with DSLR's [Posted on 2008-08-04]
I have owned many DSLR's, icluding a Canon 1D. This non-DSLR is a better alternative, both in cost and ease of use. Unless you're shooting for a magazine, this camera's performance is more than enough. No more changes lenses, a 14.3x zoom, 11 megapixels (the 7 pics per second at 3 megapixels produces great pictures,) what more does the advanced amateur need? Save your money and buy one like this.
