I was very happy with the product and also the fast delivery time! Great price! I LOVE MY CAMERA!!
 2 S700's now broken/DON'T use in humidity!Aug 12, 2010
I love everything about this camera (features, pictures, etc.) except for one important factor: I've had two in a row completely die and Fuji is in my opinion less than helpful.
S700 #1: I purchased this camera for a trip to Jamaica. Being a new camera, we were very careful that it didn't get wet or sit in the sun, but several days into our trip, to my great heartbreak, it suddenly would not turn on. I contacted Fuji when we got back. Over the phone they explained that using regular AA (non-rechargeable) batteries would often cause the internal battery to fail and that this was probably the problem but I would have to wait and find out. After a very long wait (4+ weeks) I was informed that the inside of the camera was corroded. They would not honor the warranty. I explained that, although Jamaica is a very humid island, it was never exposed to water. Several phone calls, many unreturned messages, and giving them a deadline before I would contact the Better Business Bureau later, I was finally able to speak with a supervisor and asked whether taking it to a humid area would void the warranty. He admitted that simply the humidity probably had done this damage but explained that since there was corrosion they couldn't help me. They did offer me to "trade up to a different model" using their "loyalty program" (which one would assume would mean getting some value for the old camera), but in reality this didn't save me very much money at all. I was simply purchasing a refurbished camera directly from Fuji at a slight discount from the new-camera price (to my recollection this was maybe 15% or so). I begrudgingly opted to do this because I couldn't afford another brand new camera and needed one and got a new (refurbished) S700. This also meant that camera #2 would have no warranty.
S700 #2: Approximately a year later, I uploaded some pics. When I went to use the camera again, this one also is completely dead. It will not turn on. I tried charging my batteries, then purchased new rechargeable batteries, charged them up, but nothing. This camera never went anywhere near a humid country or anything. I contacted Fuji again and was informed that I will have to mail it in at my cost, wait 4 weeks, and they will contact me by snail mail with an estimate which I can choose to accept or deny. :-(
C'mon Fuji, you can do better than this. I just want a WORKING camera (like I paid for twice now)! I really do take care of my cameras and don't do anything that shouldn't be considered "normal use."
If you want a camera that is going to last longer than a year, in my experience this is not it.
 Good product, poor support.Jul 30, 2010
Pros: Great camera overall - takes beautiful pics, good point-and-shoot function with plenty of manual adjustments available.
Cons: Hope it doesn't break - Fuji's factory service is expensive!!! $85 to replace a sticking play button. Also a big camera that can be outperformed by most of the compact super-zooms available now.

Great quality & easy to useJun 30, 2010
This purchase was actually to replace the original of the same model camera that I damaged by repeated dropping & knocking off til the display screen stopped working. Since I like to take a lot of close-up floral shots, I really needed to be able to use the display screen; so my husband took my first camera (it still works) & replaced it with exactly the same model! This camera takes fantastic pictures--I used to do graphic design for a living, so I have to have great quality pics & this one provides them, with the optical zoom & the macro settings, the options are amazing. It also has both auto & manual settings, so it works for the inexperienced & the more trained photographer (which I hope to be someday).
This particular model has a setting that is not available on any other model I know of: a flash/natural setting that takes one pic with the flash & one with natural light, one after the other with one click of the button. That way, I can take pics without having to determine lighting needs and choose which one looks best afterwards. This means in fast-paced settings, I can shoot away without having to stop to gauge whether to use the flash or not--I just love this feature; it has given me a lot of great pics I wouldn't have gotten with any other camera. It also takes good pics in low-light settings & this 7.1mp 10x optical zoom camera has brought me "professional-looking" wedding pics to give some friends which caused some of their friends to ask if I could take their wedding pics. Easy to use & really great pics!!! This model is hard to beat!!!

Great camera for the novice photographerFeb 12, 2010
I purchased this camera several years ago and I am still enjoying using it. I get great pictures. The 10 x optical zoom works great as well as the micro close up feature. It is loaded with features and I am still discovering little tricks that make my pictures special. If you want a camera that is beyond a point and shoot, but easy to use, this camera met those needs for me. My pictures are comparable to my brother's $800 digital slr and I spent much less than that. I would highly recommend this camera.
