Product review summary

This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.

The Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD 12MP Digital Camera with 18x Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom is a great camera with options for every skill level. It has a 12.2 MegaPixel sensor that captures enough detail for photo-quality 18 x 24-inch prints and an 18x Optical Zoom with a wide-angle lens. It also features a 3 inch LCD screen, Dual Image Stabilization, Panorama Mode, SR AUTO & Face Detection, and is HD compatible. The camera captures images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included). Users have raved about the zoom quality and ability to capture small objects in super macro mode. The camera offers several approaches for photography, depending on your skill level. The Auto feature works really well, while the advanced user can adjust the aperture and shutter settings themselves. However, some users have found the audio quality poor when recording video, and the video resolution only goes up to 640 x 480. The camera also has a video limit of 2GB/clip, even with a 16GB memory chip. Another complaint is that it takes longer than expected for the photo to be stored, especially in the burst modes. Overall, the Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD 12MP Digital Camera is a great value for the price, with excellent zoom and photo quality.
