Fuji Film FinePix S3100 / S3500 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 6.83 (out of 10)
The Fujifilm Finepix S3500 is a 4 megapixel digital camera with a 6x optical zoom lens that is equivalent to 39 - 234 mm on a 35mm camera. First announced in August 2004, the S3500 is now available at a street price of under £200 / $250. Almost one year ago I reviewed the 3 megapixel successor to the S3500, the S3000, which was intuitive to use but suffered badly from only having one slow ISO speed (100) and slightly muted images. Have Fujifilm added enough extra features to make the S3500 a more capable camera and also still remain competitive in the fast-moving digital camera market? Read my review to find out.

| A couple of years back, Fuji brought long-zoom digicams down to affordable price levels with their FinePix 2800 and 3800 models. Now, the Fuji S3100 advances the cause even further, with a 4.0 megapixel CCD, a 6x optical zoom lens, and a host of exposure features. While it still sports a super-easy fully automatic mode, the Fuji 3100 goes beyond basic "point & shoot" capability with an Aperture Priority mode and handful of adjustable exposure options. (However, the Fuji S3100 drops the sound recording capability and the Continuous Shooting modes seen in some of its predecessors, presumably to keep the cost low in the face of its higher resolution.) All in all, the Fuji 3100 offers true long-zoom capability at a surprisingly affordable price. |
