Fujifilm FujiFilm FinePix X-S1 12.0MP Digital Camera - Black

A heavyweight in several respects

It's difficult to rate this camera. It's a big, heavy, complex camera, and in its preferred EXR mode it produces jpegs of 6MP resolution (not a lot by today's standards). On the other hand, the 26X zoom lens is one of the best on any bridge camera, the viewfinder and tilting screen are superb, the controls are well thought out, and the build quality is top class. And by the way, the image quality is superb as long as you're not making poster sized prints. Not an easy camera to use, but it repays serious effort with serious results.
It's a 10-year-old camera now, and prices are still - to me - surprisingly high.Read full review

Quality Fujifilm bridge camera.

It is extremely well built with a number of critical seals in place.
The Fuji menu system can be daunting at first but is easily mastered.
The image quality is good and this camera makes an ideal all in one travel unit.
The lens does suffer from zoom creep and I would recommend purchasing a lensband to counter this problem.
The lens hood is excellent, it is reassuringly made of metal and clips confidently into place.
The EVF is suprisingly good and is good enough for critical composition.
The hinged rear LCD is clear and sharp enough for most applications.
This design of camera works if you know what your photography requirements are and you know to exploit those challenges.
All in all, a very capable stylish X compact bridge camera.Read full review

Simply excellent value for your money

If you want a very high end bridge camera that gives pretty much the same experience as a DSLR and functions in a very similar fashion the Fuji X-S1 is worth a look.
I am very happy with the build quality, it feels nice in your hands with a bit of weight but not too heavy.
the images that come out of the camera are great, its reasonable in low light and the onboard flash seems to be pretty decent.
Add a 24-600mm+ zoom, f2.8 at 24mm and it just gets better.
All in its a very versatile camera, easy to use but also able to offer all of the manual functionality you may want.
The Macro modes are both great, and did I mention the fuji optics.......... they do make nice glass.
Its a near perfect camera for throwing in a bag and taking on holiday, which is exactly what I got mine for.
Add a couple of aftermarket batteries for a fiver each from ebay and your ready for most anything you will meet on your holidays.
These are extremely good value for your money in my opinion, I am happy with mine and run DX and FX Nikons with decent fast glass normally so it had its work cut out to make a decent impression which it has.Read full review

Top notch bridge camera

These cameras are very high quality, don’t let the 12mp put you off, because the sensor is double the size of most of the bridge cameras that are out today, I’ve owned many of the new bridge cameras and this, even though it’s been out for years trumps them all, fantastic camera,Read full review

Best Camera I've ever owned

WOW! I wanted a good quality camera for my various hobbies, and the FujiFilm X-S1 has completely fitted the bill.
People these days will say "all you need is a good mobile phone" to take pictures, but taking pictures is one thing, taking professional quality pictures suitable for publication is quite another.
Easy to use, tactile to handle and with every feature imaginable it is a superb camera. Go get one while you have the chance!Read full review
