Finally a P&S that isn't a piece of crap?

This has possibilities. http://www.fujifilm.com/products/dig...pix_s100fs/spe... A late addition - firstly, may I clarify my much lambasted 'ugly camera' comment.. The DSC-R1 *felt* ugly in my hands when I played with one - in other words, the design of it just didn't feel right. And frankly, it *is* an ugly camera!. I'll happily admit there are some designs that would prevent me buying the camera. Interestingly, I think the ugliest DSLR series, by an absolute country mile, is the 1DS with those sad drooping shoulders and over-rounded prism. Yeuch. Sure, it might take reasonably good images, but what's important here???? (O: And a little more on topic, having seen some of the images from early adopters of the S100FS, I think it is likely to get poor reviews for a not very good lens, and higher than expected noise levels - the high ISO shots I have seen are comparable to my S9000, and sadly, that isn't very good. It looks to me like Fuji are having a lot of trouble repeating (let alone improving) the high iso performance they managed in the F20 family. Pity. And I'll wait for the reviews, but I think they have missed the boat again. |

The Ugliness of the Sony R1 (was Finally a P&S that isn't a piece of crap?)

In fact overall the R1 has so impressed me with its many virtues that when next I come round to looking for a new camera, I shall look with particular interest and benevolence on Sony cameras. Ugliness does seem to be in the eye of beholder :-) One might say that ugliness can also be skin deep. Some of their products are poorly (cheaply) designed, but their MD players and recorders 'just keep on ticking' and are beautifully designed, although not always ergonimically. |
