Fuji 7000 v 5500
I've been using a 5500 for more than a year now and like it a lot.
There's a special offer on a 7000 which is tempting. Anyone any comments? mikej |

Fuji 7000 v 5500
I am not sure but I do not think it has image stabilization. I would
only consider camera that have that feature. mike.james wrote: I've been using a 5500 for more than a year now and like it a lot. There's a special offer on a 7000 which is tempting. Anyone any comments? mikej |

Same here - the smaller sensors in non-SLR cameras work best (produce the lowest noise images) at speeds of around ISO 50 - 100, and when equivalent focal lengths around 400mm are available, having the two - three stops gain of image stabilisation available makes all the difference between getting the picture or getting a blur. I would not buy a camera without IS, without very good reason. David |

Fuji 7000 v 5500
I've read posts in this group about IS and how important it is. I bought the 5500 before I heard about this idea and I can't say I've found the lack of it a problem. Before the 5500 I used a heavy SLR (Olympus OM10) and lenses or a Bronica on a tripod. When I swapped the the 5500 I found it small light and with an amazingly good zoom lens compared to the kit I had to carry before. While it does sometimes warn me that the shutter speed is too low for the zoom I can generally take a photo using all the tricks needed with an SLR. It doesn't always work - but at least I'm not wasting film :-) I'm not that serious about photography any more and don't want to spend a lot of cash so the 7000 seemed like a good option - and perhaps what you never had you don't miss. Thanks for the comments though. mikej |
