Review: With a 6X optical zoom, decent close-up capabilities, and compatibility with add-on lenses, this 3.2-megapixel camera will please point-and-shooters who like versatility. However, mediocre performance, a lack of manual focus and exposure controls, and some vexing quirks relegate the Fujifilm FinePix S3000 to also-ran status for more-advanced photographers.Chunky styling and a 14.1-ounce heft give the Fujifilm FinePix S3000 a mini-SLR look and feel that should appeal to veteran photographers. Unfortunately, you'll soon discover that bigger does not necessarily mean better. Despite its appearance, this camera is a 3.2-megapixel model for the point-and-shoot crowd.

1 star: 2 My Rating 0 stars click stars to rate product Most recent user reviews Showing 3 of 44 reviews 2.5 stars Pros: Camera fine and makes good pictures Cons: Cover for battery compartment poor design. Hinges made of plastic and break after some use. Costly and difficult to get replacement. Does anyone know the solution to this?? Summary: The camera is reasonably good value but the hinges need to be redesigned - stronger.
If anyone can help with replacement cover

I wanted to try something smaller that I could just fit into my back pocket, so I bought an Olympus. Big mistake! I used it at a concert the other night and I was so dissapointed when I uploaded the pics! I have used the Fuji FinePix S3000 in the nose bleed seats at concerts, directly across from the main stage and have had absolutely great,up-close pictures! If I could afford to buy a professional camera I would, but this is great for now!
The only bad thing about it is at a concert, you have to take the picture without the flash because of all the lights behind the performer, sometimes you get a blurry picture because of that, so you have to be quite still. But it's still worth it! Thanks for your submission!
