 excellent in almost every way July 23, 2010

I got this a while back and have been using it for my GCSE photography course, the automatic mode is usable by even the biggest technophobes ! and the manual allows for fully customisable settings. The 18x optical zoom is truely quite something indeed! beautiful clarity and smooth zooming, i managed to jam the switch but after flicking it about (literally) 5000 times it loosened up and is now fine.
the scene selection is nice if you dont want to manually configure it, and the shutter is very smooth and reliable. ranging from 1/2000 to 8 seconds! the HD (720p) recording is excellent and allows you to zoom while recording. (mind you'll want to get a big memory card to record for long times) i have heard this accepts 16gb sdhc cards (but not entirely sure) with a 16gb card you can store about 70 mins of HD video at full res and about 35mins with an 8gb. the fast shooting mode is immense... approx 8 photos per second for 20 images! (hiwever in quite low res) and sustained shooting can keep going until you fill your memory card! the screen is fantastic quality, and the EVF can be set to 60fps making it completely smooth and lag free. The batteries that come with it are pretty lame, however i bought 4 rechargable ones (2500mah) and they seem to last for ever! i use this alot and i have gone about 3 weeks without needing to charge them!!! over all brilliant
oh and the panorama mode works amazingly well!

This is my second Fujifilm Finepix bridge camera, bought to update my old S5700 which was 7 megapixels with 10x zoom. This newer model has many of the same great features as my older model, but with very significant improvements. The screen is larger and clearer, the camera has greater light sensitivity and has a new panorama mode which is great. I also like the more manual flash as it means there is no need for the natural light mode. The main reason however why I bought the S1900 is the lens. Mainly because it is much more wide angle, (5mm compared with 6.2 on my S5700). This is equivalent to a 28mm lens on a DSLR. The 18x zoom means the lens goes upto 90mm (compared to 62mm on my older camera). This is equivalent to a 500mm lens on a DSLR. Another feature that I like on this camera is that it uses 4 AA batteries. While the included alkalines do not last long, a set of 2100 mah NiMH rechargeables last a long time. I prefer standard size batteries because it is cheap and easy to replace them unlike the dedicated batteries found in most higher end digital cameras.
There are a few less good points. My old S5700 lens did not extend out as you zoomed, which allowed you to add filters and even an add on wide angle converter. The S1900 lens extends out as you zoom and presumabaly for this reason does not have a thread for filters etc. However I never actually used a filter on the old camera and as the S1900 lens is naturally more wide angled than that on the S5700, plus the panorama function means that this really is not a problem at all. The video quality is OK but not a match for a dedicated digital camcorder (miniDV). The autofocus seems to struggle with focus (found the same on the S5700). Also the sound quality is poor, and is noticeably worse if you select the 16:9 HD setting rather than 4:3 SD setting. Again however for most home use the quality is OK and easier than lugging both a camera and camcorder around when travelling.
Given that you can manually control the shutter speed, ISO and appature I feel that unless you are a professional photographer this camera does all you would ever need and is a better bet than a DSLR. Yes I know the DSLR have physically bigger lens' which helps resolution, and use CMOS ranther than smaller CCD sensors, but in truth the difference in quality of any photos produced would be hard to spot for any but the the fussiest. Given how much even a the cheapest DSLR would cost, plus a 500mm zoom and a 28 mm wide angle lens added, a camera like the S1900 is a better bet for the kean non professional photographer.
Excellent value for the money August 11, 2010

I am not a photographer so I was just looking for a camera at a reasonable price to take my holiday photos but with a bit extra to get some better quality shots. I found this camera to be easy to set up and operate and it produces, in my opinion, some excellent quality pictures.
I would recommend it to anyone.

I've had this camera for 2 weeks now and I think it's great. I haven't discovered everything about it yet but getting to grips with the basics.
After looking at many cameras reviews I decided on the Fujifilm because I do like their cameras. This feels great in your hands, it's not compact where you can just put it in your pocket but I manage to take it everywhere with me including Tesco.
I am a keen bird watcher and the zoom on this camera is superb. It has 18x optical zoom which is plenty for garden birds and general use.
One great thing about it, that is better than any other camera I've had, is that it performs amazingly in low light, even without the flash.
Thoroughly recommended.

This was bought for my birthday, it is light and compact and yet provided you with great quality pictures.
I wanted a point and shoot for grabbing fast shots.
I wanted point and shoot where the camera does the work.
I also wanted something that allowed me to set up the picture, as I do with my OM20.
I also got video thrown in.
I am very happy with the camera, it sets up ready for use in five minutes and you get a very good manual on a CD with it.
The build quality is good but, the very best thing is, it is light and compact and this means it can go anywhere and everywhere you go, and that is the point I think.Also it saves me carrying a case full of lenses with me as I do with the OM20.
If you are looking for a great little camera that does everything, this might be for you
