Forget triple X or even quadruple X, this bad boy has no less than 14 X zoom

The superb specification level is slightly marred by the way controls are implemented but there’s so much neat stuff crammed into the camera, that it really can take on almost any photography challenge thrown at it, it’s just that the results might not be what you expect, at least at first.

The Fujifilm FinePix S100fs is undoubtedly an ensemble of high specification camera features and some clever and reliable Fuji digital camera wizardry. But it’s an ensemble that is not the complete sum of its parts and ultimately might disappoint you, as it did me.

The Fujifilm S100FS is a worthy successor to the S9600, and has superior handling, performance and image quality to any other super-zoom camera on the market, but comparing it to a real DSLR is a bit disingenuous. It is very expensive, more expensive even than an entry-level DSLR, and for all its qualities it doesn't quite compete on the same level.

Conclusion - Pros
- Very useful zoom range
- Excellent resolution and good edge to edge detail
Sharp, generally high-quality lens
- Expanded dynamic range option (and it works)
- Excellent high-ISO performance for a non-DSLR
- Full photographic control, huge range of SLR-like features (real SLR-like handling too)
- Bright, sharp, electronic viewfinder (better than most) and articulated screen
- Macro modes make lens even more flexible
- Fast RAW performance
- RAW processing software included
- A lot of camera for the money

Conclusion - Cons
- Strong, visible chromatic aberration at the most useful focal lengths
- Noise reduction attacks fine detail if you look too close
- 230 shot battery life somewhat limiting
- Film simulation rarely useful
- RAW processing software is unusable
- Electronic viewfinder glitches if you pan the camera too quickly
- Continuous shooting buffer not as large as on latest entry-level DSLRs
- Unnecessarily large RAW files (23MB each)
