FUJIFILM FinePix S304 Digital Camera

I sold a Fuji 2800 zoom camera on e-bay last year and bought a more sophisticated compact camera using the proceeds.However good as the new camera is I missed the little Fuji.It was an ideal holiday camera because of the ability to simply point and shoot and superb colour of the images.
I spotted the Fuji Finepix S304 on e-bay and was delighted when I won it
The camera is in mint condition as described and came with a decent case,
eight rechargeable batteries and a charger.
Despite the fact that the S304 has a resolution of only 3.4 MegaPix it punches well above it's weight. With care A4 prints are easily achievable.
The six times optical zoom lens is superb.
I also find the Electronic View Finder (E.V.F.)especially useful in bright sunshine.With so many cameras it is impossible to read the menus using the LCD Screen.
The only slight disadvantage with this camera is the delay between pressing the shutter button and actually taking the image.Only a problem when picturing moving subjects however.
The camera is quite chunky and whilst it won't fit in the pocket easily it feels good in the hand and is so easy to use.
With out doubt one of my best buys on e-bay.

I have a friend who is a professional sport photographer and as a beginner he recommended the S304, Now i own a kawasaki 1100 jet ski and after a week away in scotland with both jet ski and camera i was VERY HAPPY.

The camera produces very high quality pictures and i so i was VERY PLEASED WITH THE CAMERA.......HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!

This is a very lightweight camera. It looks professional and takes fantastic pictures. Sharp colours and easy to use. The only minus with this camera is the inability to use the SD card.

Great digital camara,easy to use with all the usual features. Slightly low shutter action but that could be me. I wanted this camara because it has a grip similar to an SLR

I wanted a decent image taking camera to replace my old SLR Canon T70, tried Fuji E500 not up to expectations ONLY 3X zoom.
I did not want to spend a lot of money and be dissapointed, so I thought I would try the Fuji S304 or something similar with a better lense.
The camera I purchased was in excellent condition, and is at least as good if not better than my old SLR.

I personaly had a Samsung Digimax until recently when I borrowed my Mothers S304(She has MANY Digi cams) and I had to say I was so impressed with this cam, I have borrowed it to the point where my mum has gone and bought me one.
The pictures close up and distance are amazeing so clear and detailed.

If you saw the pictures you would believe theres a postcard!
The flash is compact and very bright! To what I can tell there is no downsides to this cam it's slightly larger then most but VERY Light!

what a fantastic little camera it take the most wonderful clear pictures.
I bought it as I love cameras being a photographer whether it's 35mm film cameras or digital.
There is nothing wrong it the camera it's a beauty.

The finepix are a great series of cameras. Easy to use yet with AE and manual overrides making them flexible as skills improve. There ergonomic shape makes them feel great in the hand.
The 304 has only 3.5million pixcels which in these days of every increasing numbers is a little small but unless you want to print larger than 5by7 this should not be a major issue.
This camera can be picked up for less than £50 making a good starter camera for anyone wanting more than just a point and shot.

great all round camera for family photos and video clips
easy to use - from older child upwards !
lots of extra features including flash , zoom ,and various settings for the type of picture you are taking ie. night shot , close-up etc.
fairly compact size so easy to carry around for a unique photo opportunity ! especially if you have kids/grandkids !
excellent quality of picture and vidoe - very easy to install software and download onto your PC .

this camera is larger, and consequently more trouble to carry about than some comparable digital equipment, but this is more than made up for by the steady feel during operation. a slow response to trigger can be a problem at first, but soon understood. excellent quality imaging. i've purchased another on ebay, that probably tells its own tale. a good camera. i'd reccomend to any individual who is amateur, but is looking to acheive pro results.

As i already have one of these camera's i decided to buy this one as a spares pack should something break on my existing camera.
This was an ideal purchase.

I had just broken my camera, and saw the chance to buy the same model for far less cash. This is a good camera, one we are familiar with. We basically use auto and snap.

This camera is easy to use good picture quality and is ideal for family picture to amature photography. good first camera for any just starting out.

Its simple and easy to use and ideal for starting a hobby like photography has an ability to be a point and shot and also an ability for use as a digital slr for the inexperienced and noveice photographer.

Small neat and compact .

Idela for the family Holiday or gathering

Great Bit of Kit.
I first got myself one back in 2004 when it first came on the market.
I must have taken 100,000+ photos with it.

I have brought a second, as a gift to a kids daughter. She is only 12, but has a keen interst in photography, so why not start with a lovely bit of kit like the FujiS304
Its quick, and takes the best quility photos for a 3m Pixle Digital Camera

i bought this camera for it 6xzoom as i take alot of motorsport photos .
main reason for buying was it was cheap and my cameras tend to get a lot of dirt thrown at it .

bit dissapointed its A great camera for still photos but has very slow shutter speed for fast moving stuff . but find it superb for lanscape and still photos .

recently had it on holiday took some good distance shots with it .

will keep hold of it for a second camera . im currently using fuji e500 great for cathing fast moving stuff but lack the zoom of the s304.
im agreat fan of fuji cameras and will eventualy upgrade to there later models .

my opinion is if you can afford the later models give this one a miss

i bought one off here for 26.55 and i heard lots of bad reviews that it kept breaking but none of it is true if you look after it it will last for ages it is a really good camera it takes pictures like an slr with 3.2 megapixel,6 times optical zoom and 3.2 times digital zoom it is a pro camera at a cheap price these days i would really recomend buying it.
