Reviewers Didn't Like

  • EXR modes reduce image resolution by half, Disappointing, standarddefinition video, Lag between sequential shots
  • Lens not as wide as S100FS'; no HD video option; no tilting LCD; size of camera not suitable for everyone
  • Manual focus ring, lack of wide angle on lens, EVF
  • I'd prefer an articulating screen, Missing FinePix button can lead to confusion, Jagged wheels are too small
  • Cost, Video trails competition, 30.5 to 436mm lens range exceeded greatly by some competitors
