Fuji S1 Experience.

masteroftherealm

Has anyone out there had any experience with a Fuji FinePix S1Pro Cam?
I cant find much "experience revirews" on the net, and its looking like the only cam that I might be able to afford to replace my 350d.
Cheers all

Fajitas!

I know a photographer for a local paper that uses one.

"F*cking cheapskates wouldn't get anything worth a piss"

Heheh.
It doesnt look the best but I need a DSLR again. Film is costing me way to much cash.
Only mjor problem i can find is that its picky with lenses. But that can be dealt with
I was just checking if anyone had anything good or bad here to say

Fajitas!

How much you looking to spend? Would a 5D be in your price range?

masteroftherealm

Eh I think ur on the wrong camera!! ;p
Budget is bout 400quid.Im skint broke.

Fajitas!

HA! Didn't know they were that cheap!

I presumed you were looking for an upgrade from the 350D!!!

Save up man! Be worth it in the end!

masteroftherealm

No my 350d got stolen along with 50% of all my gear!!
Lol their 250euro on ebay.
No dont worry, I just need something in the interim so as I can get back shooting again to make some cash to put towards a decent SLR and lenses again.

Is nobody selling off a 300D for that kind of money? Do you have any lenses left at all?

*note to self: get camera on house insurance asap*

That's seriously crap that you lost your gear. Seriously.

masteroftherealm

I have 1 lens tripod and filter set left.

Yeah put it on there as a named item otherwise they tell u its not their responsibility as i discovered

So I have very limited cash at the moment cause I just moved back home from paris and no gear so I desperatly need something cheap but usable to get me thru the nex while.

Canon D30
Fiji S1
Kodak DCS520

seem to be my 2 options I think.

My dad has one of the wee p&s canon numbers, it's got a lot of manual options and it's metal cased, really sturdy, think the kodak ones are less so. have you checked out what steve thinks? - www.stevesdigicams.com you get stuff like startup time, example pics and other detailed stuff there, it's a good one.

Is that €400 plus a lens ?

masteroftherealm

Yup thats wher i got most my info on the S1 from.
Id prefer to stick with SLR, Im used to shooting it now. and going to P&S in low light I find aint a good idea.

Nope total budget roughly.
Looking at bout 250for a body. I have a lens if I can get a canon D30 or the KodakDCS(Its EOS mount). Otherwise I gotta get lens too.
Or at least if I cant sell my laptop which is for sale. If I can sell that my budget goes uo tp bout 750 or so.

mtracey

Not going to be easy mate

If I see anything I'll let you know.

I asked some of the guys on the 'other' site but they didnt have a dslr going

masteroftherealm

Trust me I know ;p
I have an ad up on the other site too ;p

If I could just sell my lappy my budget would be ok.
Im trying to sell it and get a cheap older powerbook then Ill be ok to get a decent SLR.

mtracey

I have a D70 I'm going to sell, body only, but I'm looking for €500 min .
oh well.

'other' place is catching on btw lol
