Reviews:

- "Has some quirks. Every now and then, this camera throws me for a loop when it doesn't quite do what I want. But of course, a big part of that is my failure to read the manual thoroughly. But even though I sometimes get lost in the menus, the one thing I was looking for, quick photo capture with high pixilation and good quality, it does great. For the price, I don't think these Fuji cameras can be beat."
- "Best Bridge Camera!! I purchased a FujiFilm S4600 model a few weeks ago and it was the best choice! My photos are of high quality, everytime I upload my photos on Instagram or my ViewBug account I receive multiple comments and likes on all my photos especially the close up shots of the moon, this camera and similar FujiFilm models are absolutely worth it!"
- "S4600. Camera is overall pretty decent for the price I paid. It seems to take pictures a lot better outside with natural sunlight. Inside with low light pictures are often grainy, though this is sometimes corrected by the flash."
- "Thank goodness! I bought this camera because I purchased the Nikon L320 on Black Friday and used it and the zoom was terrible and most of my pictures came out blurry. The zoom on this camera is great and my pictures come out wonderful. I'm so happy I got this camera and at such a reasonable price."
- "Short films. I make short films for a living, this is a very good camera but the audio isn't perfect. I would buy a microphone with it fellow consumers.
