Fujifilm FinePix S2950 price range: $129.00 - $159.04
- Reviewed by: Joshua Goldman
- Reviewed on: 09/01/2011
- Released on: 02/01/2011
The good: The Fujifilm FinePix S2950 has a wide-angle 18x zoom lens, takes AA-size batteries for power, and has a 3-inch LCD, an electronic viewfinder, and manual and semimanual shooting modes.
The bad: The S2950's performance and photo quality indoors and in low-light conditions are merely passable for its price.
The bottom line: A low-cost way to get an 18x wide-angle lens, the Fujifilm FinePix S2950 delivers merely OK photos and shooting performance.

Wonderful Camera! Price & Value!
by MissLurker on September 26, 2011
Pros: 1. ease of use 2. picture quality 3. wonderful zoom 4. super macro
Cons: don't install the software included, it will give you problems, you can transfer the photos without it
Summary: This is the BEST camera ever and I am so thrilled to own one now! ... for those curious about what this camera can do, go to YouTube and search for ...
Summary: This is the BEST camera ever and I am so thrilled to own one now! ... for those curious about what this camera can do, go to YouTube and search for the fuijiguys videos.. they explain the main features and it does everything they say it does and more! .. also, they answer any questions you have... just leave a comment... if you want to see photos taken with the camera, you can do a search at Flickr and see those as well.. please don't expect great results without knowing what you're doing.. I saw many complaints about either petty stuff or unfair rants.. if you have a faulty camera, send it back but if it's working fine, get to know it before you make up your mind... I almost didn't purchase one because of all the bad comments.. please try it yourself and make up your own mind about it! ... I could not be happier!

Summary: This is my first advanced point and shoot and I must say I am glad I picked this camera. I am happy with the performance of this camera. For the money the camera delivers excellent results. On improving the product, there is only one comment, the battery cover should be made rugged especially the latch.

This is by far the best camera I have ever owned.
by dbrown7080 on April 24, 2012
Pros: Lots of options and features for every kind of user.
Sturdy construction.
2 Zoom modes (Optical and digital). Both can be used together for a maximum zoom well over the advertised 18x.
Multiple rapid shooting modes.
Easy to use controls and menus.Cons: The only thing I dont like is that there is no manual zoom feature on it. But the auto-focus feature does a good job.
Summary: I would definitely recommend this camera to anybody looking for a good quality point and shoot camera at an affordable price with plenty of features.

Not a bad camera. Does rather well by me.
by ChimboX on October 2, 2011
Pros: Continuous burst mode (hold shutter down, and it will continue to shoot shots)
Cons: I HATE THE LENS CAP. It comes off, when you turn the camea on. I HATE THAT. Why don't they make it old school? It would be better.
WHY DID FUJI DO THIS? AND DIFFERENT FLASH MODES? WHERE ARE THEY?
My old one, the flash door broke, but the flashSummary: I always use a tripod for stills. I don't care what the shutter speed goes up to. If it's not on a tripod, there's always movement. Unless ...
Summary: I always use a tripod for stills. I don't care what the shutter speed goes up to. If it's not on a tripod, there's always movement. Unless you're well skilled at panning, or action/sports shots, you'll need the cumbersome tripod, like a ball and chain, but it's worth it, if you're after the clear stills. Period.
I just look for the sharpest , clearest photos, short of having to carry a microscope with me everywhere.
I suspect my older camera had a slight edge for sharp focus, but I've always loved Fujifilm products even from the film days. A ton of features, and this new camea is well worth taking the time with the manual, and a brand new set of batteries and experiementing for a while.
Very simply, you'll then see that you have more options when you realize you can go to AUTO mode, or for more flexibility choose the S or P or A modes, Photography to me is just as much an art as taking a brush and paints, and trying to duplicate the subject. For me, this camera was cost effective, but I miss my older Finepix.1 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Good camera for the money; but rather spend more.
by rolandp49 on August 9, 2011
Pros: Excellent features but on first try the link to Youtube failed. It kept saying my username and password were incorrect even though I could log directly into Youtube, just not through Fujifilm's software.
Cons: NOISE - very bad when shooting movies. The location of the mic allowed every single sway of the camera lens to be picked up. There is no external jack for a remote mic.
Summary: I've seen better camera's and I wish I had bought one. I might return this one.

The best camera out there
by klbfan13 on May 19, 2013
Pros: Amazing indoor shooting if you set it right, lots of features and great price as well. I use it for any photography and it's the best I have ever owned. I have owned point and shoot cameras and they are not as good as this one
Cons: It's not as good as focusing during events that are in the dark so I would suggest the night setting
Summary: For those on a tight budget but looking for a camera close to an SLR. This is the best to choose, it's not that expensive. It has lots of ...

Overall great value.
by cn65 on April 11, 2011
Pros: Affordable
Decent Photos
Easy to use

Camera shake is a killer

Summary: The camera is a great camera for the money. "For the money" being the keywords. I think it is a great camera for someone who wants to take good photos for not a whole lot of money, or a beginner. You can get real gems out of the photos if you really know what you are doing. A tripod will go a long way when using this camera. This is a great camera for a first-time user, or just a casual user. It is very easy to understand and use. The zoom on this camera is AMAZING. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

A total disappointment
by mtbshawny on January 14, 2012
Pros: The zoom is great and it is comfortable to hold!
Cons: Blurry images even when taken on a tripod. The lens cap is useless too. The blink detection detects a blink where there are no faces present like in a curtain or a tree branch. The different flash settings are unavailable in the commonly used modes.
Summary: This camera is a disgrace to Fujifilm and it's users who trusted in the brand. We bought two of these and when we contacted Fuji several times about the ...
Summary: This camera is a disgrace to Fujifilm and it's users who trusted in the brand. We bought two of these and when we contacted Fuji several times about the blurry quality, they didn't have the decency to respond to us. Wal mart eventually refunded our money back 4 months after we bought them. Some people say you get what you pay for, but I owned the S700 and that was awesome (And beneath the S2950). Thanks for NOTHING Fujifilm.
