Fuji S5600 thread

[archie2000]

Impressive! S5600 is much superior than my S5500... At ISO 400, the noise level was so high... therefore, I tried to use as low ISO as possible... but then that means I must use slower shutter which makes low lighting shooting difficult... And one sad thing was that it has problem focusing under low lighting conditions... Hence, many of my shots were out of focus.... Also, startup timing is slow and I often missed good shooting opportunities... Time required in between shots are also too long....

hi, saw your gallery pics taken at chinatown. all r very well taken. did u use a tripod?

S5500 is gd. though its 4 mp, highest iso is 400. i'm not sure its conventional ccd did make a difference.

think tats always the marketing strategy of cam manufacturer. same like hp. put sgthing in and take sgthing out. always no perfect cam.

It's not possible. A "perfect" cam would mean one single camera that perfectly suits the needs and satisfy the demands of every single of the millions of photographers out there in this crazy world :sweat: And besides, you know how it is... there is ALWAYS something to bitch about anything

ya.. totally agree with u mich. if there's a perfect cam out there, then there's no mover to make consumer who already own one to get a better one. oso the r&d will be having headache on coming out even more superior cam then the existing perfect model.

hey actually talk about it, how nice if there's a cam that function exactly like a gd pair of human eyes. even at low lighting, moving object, and all other difficult shooting environment, the cam can fully automatically snap real-life pics without the hazzle of all expensive setups, lenses, etc.. who knows :dunno: maybe some day :think: but tat will take away all the fun of photography

funny you should mention this, coz I was thinking about the very same idea the other day The human eye is truly a remarkable invention. Just too bad it doesn't have telephoto, LOL! :sweatsm:

but the eye is very high resolution. and can attach conversion lenses like binoculars. hehe.

hey guys. i've been eyeing on this camera ever since i saw it at harvey norman last week.
how is it comparable with the canon A610? i went to test the S5600 yest and the major differences i found:

10x optical zoom vs 4x
XD card(slower write speed?) vs SD/MMC
Electronic View finder vs Optical viewfinder
Size!(5600 is larger but SLR like, A610 more compact)
Pictbridge printing difference(more options with canon)
Zoom button(canon is via the index finger, 5600 is via the thumb, beside EVF)

so is S5600 a better buy than the canon A610? e-quoted from MS color already, S5600 is only $40 more than A610. comes with free 256mb XD card,case,mini tripod.

pls give me some advise! will be getting it before CNY.

Eh you ask this question in a S5600 thread and the Fuji forum, of course we will be biased towards the S5600 lar! :sweat: But then, some qualities that makes the S5600 better than the A610 would be:

- up to ISO 1600 for high speed shots (but caution: loss of details)
- Natural Light mode - coz I dont like flash
- 10x optical zoom
- RAW capture (albeit buried deep in menus)
- Min aperture F8 - good for long exposures
- uses Fuji SuperCCD

But if you want something to fit in your pocket, then get A610 lor

just do it..... go out and get the S5600 :angel:

i begin to like more and more of my camera. after playing around enough of it, got to its inner beauty. my advice is get a hang of its characteristics and play along with it and not stubbornly use against it. hope someone understand what i'm conveying here
