Film-like noise, excellent RAW support, continuous RAW shooting, continuous zoom and focus rings |
 |
Cons:
Some diffraction issues, unhelpful light meter |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| The DSLR-alternative market remains small, but we'd like to see it grow, preferably with plenty of cameras like the Fujifilm Finepix S100fd. The camera might prove too involved for point-and-shooters, but for those looking for high-quality photos, full manual control, RAW and a DSLR-like feel without the associated expense and bulk, the S100fs is a great choice. We had minor issues with fringing, but otherwise the camera gave us one excellent exposure after another, and even better, we could process them to our heart's content in RAW without worrying about clipped contrast or excessive noising. If you're serious about photography, especially nature photography, the S100fs is a great choice. |
