Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $23.00 from Istanbul

Summary:This camera may be the best camera you can buy in the world for this price range.
But you have to use a very fresh film - not stored in high heat and under store strobes - , very fresh developer and very good photo house printer.
You can reach this kind of equipment at touristic places .
One of my family member lives in london and he uses hasselblad , pentax , linhof and canon digital and when he sees my pictures , he said even i m not geting this kind of quality from my cameras. He is a fashion photographer !
I used many leitz cameras and printed 100000 negatives and scanned thousand positives and i say i m extremelly happy to own this camera.
If you want to talk about colors , it takes cezanne and sisley colors with fuji film under open daylight but it easily switches to degas colors with kodak and gives very warm and welcoming colors with reds , pinks , ultramarines.
If you go to a forest , it gives extremelly sharp pictures on fuji with greens.
I am still exploring the camera and it gives good feeling.
If you know how photograph house printers focus their lens , you can adjust your pictures before they are taken and you get correct focused pictures.
If I were aware these pocket cameras reach this quality , I would not spend hundreds for leicas.
And fuji is producer of excellent big format camera lenses and they are very interested in to develop and advertise same quality at cheap side.

Strengths:Fujinon Lens
Very Good Viewfinder

Weaknesses:I did not find any weakness

Similar Products Used:Many Kodak Products including APSs.

Customer Service:They did not answer my e mail which written to Turkish Fuji

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Mustafa. I believe that a good photographer can take good pictures with any camera. So maybe you're just a great photographer making this little Fuji camera look good. On the other hand, lens technology is excellent now and there's no reason a little camera like this shouldn't be able to take excellent photos. And it's a good idea for us to remind photographers to appreciate and get the most out of whatever camera they have.

Thanks for sharing! :)
