FujiFilm FinePix S2940 14MP Digital Camera with 18x Optical Zoom, 3.0" LCD Display 3.9 5 101 110
Worth 3X more! I wasn't looking for a "fancy" camera, just a good point & shoot. I found this camera at Wal-Mart one night and started playing with it and fell in love. Went home and read the reviews on this camera and they were fantastic ~ one review listed it as "a professional photography camera in a mini package" and I would agree! I then called Fuji to ask WHY the 2940 instead of 2950?? Their answer was "it is the exact same camera but the 2940 is marketed at a lower price for Wal-Mart customers only" ~ which made me very happy.I purchased this camera and I am now even more amazed. The panorama feature is EASY to use and I love the resulting pictures. The zoom is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. The nighttime feature is unlike any camera I have ever owned before ~ and my last camera was a Casio for $199 that I thought I loved. THIS FUJI CAMERA IS AMAZING!! The SLR mode basically does ALL the work for you ~ it decides if you need more flash, whether it is sunny, nighttime, etc. Nighttime pics are fantastic, btw.Also... as an FYI... I purchased a Fuji SDHC memory card (on E-bay for 1/4th of the price from Fuji) and an SDHC (high speed) memory card reader for this camera. Both items were not even $20, combined... but according to Fuji, you will want a high speed memory card and reader so you get more and better pictures.... not just the regular 2GB card you can get anywhere. Anyway, I got the nicer items for the same price as the regular ones just by looking around.I also ordered a professional camera strap from Etsy for this camera ~ fits and looks GREAT! This camera really is like a $1,000 camera except with the SLR mode it does the work for you!! GREAT BUY!! :~) 04/07/2011
Another Home Run for Fuji I owned the previous model with most of the same features a year or so back; was so impressed with the value and quality and low price that I bought one for each of my 5 kids, and gave the one I had been using to my wife, while using my Nikon D40 until Fuji came out with this new product. Now We're all Fuji users and this camera is actually better than the previous model, although I don't want the rest of my family to feel bad; the one before this was fine as well. You can't go wrong with this unit, unless you're that one in a hundred that gets a defective piece, and in that case just exchange it for a good one. Check it out within two weeks; the Walmart policy is exchange within two weeks only on cameras. After that you'd have to send it to Fuji for warrantee repairs. 04/22/2011
Great For Value! Just picked this up today and I already love it! I do a lot of nature photography and macro shoots. This fits the bill 100%! It has two great macro settings that really let me get up close and personal without blurring. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take their photography to the next level! 04/08/2011
There are no words. I've looked for a camera this great for a long time. I've went through three cameras now and I finally found one that does everything I want. I am starting a photography business and this camera is absolutely wonderful to have around my neck. I know that I will be able to give my clients exactly what they're wanting because I have such a wonderful camera to do so with. I was so impressed with mine, I went out and bought another one for my boyfriend! Absolutely worth $199! Perfect for capturing poolside moments when kids are splashing. It catches every single speck of water. There are no words to describe how much I love this camera!! 05/31/2011
