Fuji S602Z has arrived...

[Tweek]

Yar actually it might be a good news for a late release...

else if we encounter a similar to Sony BFS problem and got to go back one by one for a firmware change, that's worse right...

haha maybe I can say this cos I not that kancheong, only planning to get this cam in August.

me not so kancheong actually. just like to have a new toy to play soon ;p anyway, hope the product will work great right from day 1 of launch.

www.dcresource.com is supposed to have the review up by the end of the month too.

I can become your finance minister. Just let me keep your money....

Or, you can have my finance minister, then you will know what is good or no good.

Very good digicam, I must say that I am also tempted.

Hmms, I am a little confused on the ISO. If I take a photo at ISO 800 or 1600, S602 will reduce my photo resolution to 1MP. To take a 3MP picture, I can go as high as ISO 400 only. If what I said is right then this DC not so attractive to me anymore. The selling point on record video is not relevant to me as I have a simple DVC already.

Yes, what you said is correct. But bear in mind that currently (AFAIK) only DSLRs offer ISO 1600. So the S602 (and F601) at least gives you an opportunity to take at shot that ISO 1600 exposure even though the image resolution might be quite reduced.

But if ISO 800 is sufficient, there are a few non-SLR digicams that have it, like the Nikon 995 and 5000, Olympus C700 and Canon S30.

Thanks reflecx. Well, I have to wait and see any other new products offer from other brands. Well, good thing that I can't get it now. Have to do a lot of nagging till August or end of this year.

yup, that's because the cam will take the neighbouring pixels (assuming 3) and average out (with whatever algorithm they use) to result in one pixel, in order to reduce the high ISO noise. So the result is a low noise 1MP high ISO shot. Actually it's kinda an added bonus that they offer this....other fuji DCs only up to ISO400. Even for my C700uz, I use ISO800 very very sparingly cos of the extreme noise it produces. But for s602z, the noise level is pretty low.

that's the retail price. street price will be lower.

even the Fujifilm F601Z listed at $1099, sells for almost $200 cheaper at $900 with 128MB SM!
