Fuji S602Z has arrived... - Page 8

YSLee · 30th April 2002

Really, I still don't think it's such a big deal with the resolution thingy, unless you're doing huge prints. And as for orangey reds, well you shoot photos or you shoot test charts?

Thanks for the recommendation. Yup, will consider which flash to get later. Now lets wait for more reviews on S602.

section on battery life got updated.... great battery life!

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujis602z/page9.asp

"I think it's fairly clear to see that Fujifilm's decision to switch from the NP-80 to four AA batteries was well justified. Battery life has been extended by an hour and is in fact one of the best performances we've seen from a camera which takes AA batteries."

ultramagnus · 8th May 2002

does anyone know when this much touted dc will arrive in town?

shawntim · 12th May 2002

you guys know anything about the battery life of this model ? it runs an EVF like the Minolta D7.. and uses 4x AA batts too.. is the battery life very short ?

It's very good, the batteries last almost 3 times longer than the D7. See http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujis602z/page9.asp

I can wait to get my hands on it with all these hype. That' s the danger, the HYPE.

shawntim · 13th May 2002

dunno leh.. i see the images over here
http://myalbum.ne.jp/cgi-bin/a_menu?id=fa793431

i find the image detail is quite poor.. only when i zoom out the pictures then the image becomes sharper, looks more presentable. otherwise, the details are very very interpolated !

Those pics are in 6MP, which are 'blown up' from 3MP by the CCD algorithm of Fuji. To me, I treat it as a 3MP DC. Try viewing some 3MP samples of the S602, the quality is quite good IMO.

For me, i find the following features attractive:

1) Larger range of aperture, F2.8 - F11
2) Fast focusing in good light (Passive External AF sensor & CCD AF (TTL))
3) Excellent implementation of manual focus (nice 'focus check' zoom button, focus ring, autofocus one-touch button in MF mode)
4) Flash hotshoe supports third party flash units
5) Accepts both Compact Flash Type I/II and SmartMedia
6) All major controls on outside of camera (additional settings via SHIFT button)
7) Good battery life (now takes four AA's)
8) Area AF (49 selectable AF points - 7x7 grid)
9) Shutter speed highest at 1/10000sec (manual mode)
10) Relatively good quality at ISO 800 and 1600

mpenza and tweek, anything else to add?

mpenza · 13th May 2002

some additions.....

11) 15s min shutter (compared to the 3s on 6900)
12) great movie mode
13) ability to reuse my accessories (batteries, memory, filters, external flash)
14) good zoom range (35mm to 210mm) compared with others in similar class
15) high resolution EVF

Blitz · 13th May 2002

Hee ok ok I missed ur name azone, so u're as crazed as well

Wow seems like a lot of u are praising this cam....

Prob is seems slightly big, not tat portable is it?

Hmm but quite an interesting cam too....

Tweek · 13th May 2002

sigh, guys, bad news...

didn't get the nod from the financial minister, reason is I will be spending close to $6000 for my graduation tour to US. So gotta put off the camera to an even later date. Hope it won't be toooooo late.

Anyways, hope some of you get it when it is launched, and let me toy around with it if we do meet up.

mpenza · 17th May 2002
