recently bought the S2000HD…..have to say, after reading reviews i was almost put off them but having had Fuji’s in the past with excellent results i decided to go ahead, pleased i did.
it will never replace a true pro DLSR or even (dare i say) an SLR film camera but that was not why it was designed, it was designed to ‘fill the gap’ between decent compacts and DSLR…..and i feel it does a perfect job in this respect.
straight forward for the learner with (i think) enough to keep the more experienced/pro happy for basic shots while out and about.
some say they are slow but you can set the time a shot is displayed which speeds it up a bit but it is faster than any other i have owned….think i have to say the major ‘downside’ is most likely the size as it wont fit most standard pocket sizes, but then, where there is so much good, there has to be at least a little bad.

Hey Warren
I have had this camera since last Christmas. To get panoramic the setting is in the “fuji” menu.
press the ‘F’ button the select quality…the select 16:9 quality voila panoramic..
Hope that helps.

Hi…

I’m thinking buy this camera, but so you know if the flash rise (opens) automatically when is needed or must be “opened” manually pressing the pop-up flash button?

Sounds like a great camera. I’m sold on FUJI. Have been since I used their VIVItar film. Presently own a S5200 and Im not about to trade it in just yet.

Keep the reviews for FUJI products coming. Tired of Canon, etc.

Have owned one since Christmas , I was skeptical at first as I read all the reviews too! Yes… is is not a DSLR and it is not priced as such, but for a Crossover it packs a serious set of features that would typically put it in a much higher price point. I paid $200 online so it is possible to get it less than mfg sug. Shutter lag is a little slow but I can live with it. Highlights are overblown frequently, but have no problem adjusting with some decent post edit software. Overall loving this camera more and more.

Cons , Limited capabilities in Manual mode. No aperture priority, Propriatary cable, Only 4 sec Max exposure.

I bought this camera just after Thanksgiving last year as my next step up from my Canon A530 and I couldn’t agree more with your assessment. I love this camera and am really having a great time learning to use it.

I’m so glad I bought it and after reading your review, I am really excited to have made the choice I did!
