A very easy to use camera with a fantastic 18x zoom. Quite a good array of features for manual and automatic control.a bit smaller than a fully fledged DSLR which is a plus so overall a very good camera

The camera arrived with an original Fuji case and was in excellent condition as described in the listing. I have only taken a few pictures but so far the camera has proven easy to use. The handgrip makes it sit comfortably in the hand The electronic viewfinder gives it the feel of a 35mm film camera, although it betrays itself by being slightly grainy. The rear LCD screen is very good and there are a wide range of options over what to display on it. The zoom covers the range of 28mm to 504mm on a film camera and it's operation is smooth and fast. The images captured are clear with good colour. There are an initially bewildering number of options governing using the camera but you can use it in a point and shoot mode by selecting any of the automatic options. I love this camera and I will not be upgrading any time soon. The only drawback is it uses AA batteries rather than lithium which means you would be wise to carry a spare set with youRead full review

I've been looking for a camera with a good zoom for a while among the usual high priced cameras, until a friend told me about the Fuji FinePix S range. I dedided to try the S2950 and it really lives up to all the reviews I've read. It is the size and weight of a compact camera which it is, but it has the 18x Zoom and 14MPs gives a very good picture with clarity of cameras costing loads more, that I have compared it with. The only thing I would change is the batteries , If you are using it a lot you have to carry 4aa spares, but buy some high capacity rechargeable batteries they are worth it. On auto setting without flash I took pictures inside Hexham Abbey, it looked like I'd used floolights. For the price you cannot beat it. Lol1940
I bought this camera as a upgrade for the earlier Fujifilm finepix S1500 model I was very happy with the S1500 but I thought that this newer model wih some new features and a longer zoom would be a good buy . I was right this is a great camera and for the money I don,t think there is much to better it. Its so easy to use just leave it on auto and it does it all for you, you really can get some great pictures. If you want to you can adjust the settings to suit yourself its really up to you.its got some great features like smile and blink detection anti shake and numerous programs for different situations, all this with HD pictures and video. if you want to move up from simple point and shoot this is the camera for you . Its not to big and heavy uses batteries available any where in the world. all in all a great cameraRead full review
I chose this camera as the replacement of my Konica Minolta Dimage Z3, because it has faulty batery closing lid. I wanted cheaper camera with higher optical zoom then 12 x like Konica Minolta and less features, which I hardly use. Fujifilm Finepix S 2950 looked like good buy. When I went to check it outside, what it really does, I took my older camera to compare pictures. I was disapointed, that despite it is in the product description and also written on the camera, it doesn't have 18 x optical zoom. When I compared pictures from both cameras with maximum zoom, Fujifilm was slightly worse with zoom then 12 x Konica Minolta. What also annoyed me, that it was impossible to cover lens when it was open and I didn't take picture at the moment and it was 'on' all the time untill I switched it of, which consumed a lot of energy from batteries. It is also much slower to take picture as Konica Minolte. Ok, I took it as it belongs to cheaper camera, but not having 18x zoom was too much for me. I decided to send it back and to stop experimenting with buying cheap camera.Read full review
Bought this as a treat to myself mainly because I wanted a camera with a decent zoom so that I could photograph the birds in my garden and could actually see the distant views I was trying to capture. It's the first bridge camera I have ever had and I love it.It's a bit bulky but I can still fit it into my pocket if it rains. The picture quality is great - I haven't mastered all the different modes yet, but I'll get there. Instruction manual is rubbish - very basic and you have to find the full one on line or off the disc. (Bit complicated and pages long!!) Only other grouse is the stupid lens cap which is rigid and falls off easily. It is attached, but this also means that as you're trying to get that picture of a deer it clatters against everything and you lose your subject! Still love the camera - and would definitely buy it again. Good price, too.Read full review
Well, I have done a little test working with it and I was impress with it perfomance "specially its Zoom perfomance" the good long range and neet image was the subject to observe. The other thing I like very much of this little Fellow is the mesages he sends you reminding you thing I'm not doing right while shooting and that is something for an old guy like me, is handy and easy to carry and I'm having a good time with it, I'm waiting and see it in my next holidays. The only thing I don't like of it is, the manual, I would like to print a page of its technical graph and stack to the wall for a quick memory... but I can't... so I have to seat in front of the computer and read the manual... and this is tire. Otherwise, at the moment this little thing is something... and what can I said about enrgy saver? I still have the first batteries I put. Antonio LoyolaRead full review
I PURCHASED THIS CAMERA (DESCRIBED AS A BRIDGE CAMERA) AS I HAD A LIMITED BUDGET AND THIS PRODUCT IS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR ITS PRICE, I FIND IT LIGHT AND COMPACT WITH MANY USEFUL FEATURES. IF YOU WANT TO POINT AND SHOOT ON AUTO MODE THIS WILL MORE THAN DO THE JOB, BUT IF YOU WANT TO GET TECHNICAL AND SET IT UP MANUALLY IT IS EASY IF YOU FOLLOW THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS. THERE IS NOTHING I DISLIKE ABOUT THE CAMERA, AND BELIEVE IT HOLDS ITS OWN AGAINST OTHER COMPARABLE CAMERAS .
amazing peice of kit, takes amazing photos with 14mp at your disposal. And with an impressive 18x optical zoom you can get some really good hard to get shots. I was wanting an affordable bridge camera that had some fairlyy impressive features. When I came accross this, i was impressed with the specs on papeer so went for it. as soon as it was out of the box i went out for a walk to test it out, and couldn't fault it. i was easily taking moving shots of birds in flight, panoramic shots that were automaticaly stitched together, and macro shots that were breathtaking. i couldnt faullt anything. even shots in a pitch black room looked stunning with tthe flash lighting absoulutely everything, making the shot look like a midday shot. colours are vibrant and vivid, and with 720p video recording almost as faultless, the only thing i would improve is the mic, its quite hard to hear people if not right ontop of the mic. if you could get an attachment to boost the strength of pic-up i would be happier.Read full review
Finding the camera easy to use - takes great pictures, very good value for the money paid. I have already taken a lot of great photographs and have recommended it to my friends and family.The battery last quite a long time the flash is easy to put on, still yet to use all the setting but looking forward to learning.
