User Reviews for Fujifilm FinePix S4500 Bridge Camera

This is my third camera.i have canon SX110IS, SX150IS. Used nikon coolpix L810, L310. at present i am using Fujifilm Finepix S4500nnI am using it from 27 Sept 2012. order id OD20920190399. if you want to buy a camera with manual settings, then you can buy it. nnWonderful product, worth the money,lots of modes to play,Ultra Zoom,The Autofocus is pretty awesome.The Camera is Good and has got awesome clarity. Video shooting at 720p is awesome,Excellent Zoom, Good Quality, image stabilizer is decent enough,macro mode is nice.nn**** There are some basic difference among canon, nikon and fujifilm (In range of Rs.11000 - 14000) ****nn1) indoor picture - Canon & Nikon are better than Fujifilm(In auto mode). If u can adjust Fuji in manual mode, then no difference.n2) outdoor picture- all are same.(In manual mode Fuji is better).n3) in flash section- Fujifilm is the best.n4) Only fujifilm has Electronic View finder.n5) in picture properties you can see- canon & fuji-4.60 mb/picture, where as in nikon coolpix,it is 5.5 mb/picture.n6)fujifilm has only two aperture settings 3.2 & 8.0, where canon has 2.8 to 8.2 & nikon has auto mode.n7) in canon & fuji no welcome screen settings.n8) in macro mode fuji is best. only it has super macro mode.n9) in movie mode you can record only 9.23 mint in fuji film. but nikon & canon have no limit.n10) i think canon is the best, 2nd is both Fuji & nikon, (but first Fuji.)n11) Nikon and Fuji need 4 AA battery, canon need only 2 AA battery.nnso if you want to use a camera only in auto mode then you must buy nikon or canon. but if you want to use manual mode like shutter speed, aperture,iso then never go for nikon. my opinion go for canon.... or fujifilm for having Electronic view finder & running on 4 AA battery.n[Canon means - sx150is, sx160is, Nikon=L310/L810, Fuji=S4500]nso first canon, then Fuji, next Nikon-if use with manual Settings.nFor auto mode use -Canon , nikon, Fuji.n*** Don't use your camera only in auto mode, then buy a good camera mobile. FOR GOOD PICTURE USE MANUAL MODE ***nFUJIFILM S4500 = 4 out of 5.nnI am responsible for what I say; not what you understand.ok.

the S4500 is probably the best based on specs alone if you’re looking for a cheap Fuji super zoom.You can control the shutter speed and aperture and take effective pics like Light painting,using tripod in low light situations give the best result.It can give the best video output only with sufficient light source.the image is sharp even at 30x optical zoom,its awesome and I suggest this camera to all beginners before buying a d SLR camera,(Know how to use it,then you will love this camera)

If you are an amateur who takes more than just casual interest in photography/can't afford a DSLR/is not yet 'qualified' to use a DSLR/has a 15k budget, FujiFilm S4500 is the one to go for. I spent around a fortnight researching and breaking my brain over my choice when I decided to give myself a little promotion from basic point-and-shoot to a low-end bridge camera; even consulted one of the columnists in PhotographyBlog.com. Here are the details --nnMY QUERYnDear Joe,nWhat would be the best [low-end] bridge camera…priced somewhere in between $240-$300?

Have a great time clicking around, shutterbug!nn[P.S -- Not many cameras at this price-range comes with an electronic view-finder, which is a wonderful advantage.]

This camera is fantastic.... using it for the past 2 months.... this camera beats any cam in its range when theres lots of light... but night time photography suffers.... the flash is like a floodlight.... lights up evrything... wish it had a CMOS sensor... anyways fantastic and inspiring camera... great buy...

I got the camera for under 10K and have been using it for a month now. The SR auto mode is amazing & it automatically goes to portrait, landscape or macro based on what one is shooting. If your budget is low, and you are looking for a camera this one's worth the money!
