Sid_Wolf Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Me and OH went to jessops today to have a look at the finepix S1900 bridge camera, after I had spent hours trawling through pictures people had taken with it, and deciding that actually, its pretty good. Sales assistants now have a new technique, if you say you dont need any help, they appear to be busy, for long after you have decided what camera you want to buy, so you end up playing with all the other ones... Rather than leaving with the £130 S1900, I left with a £300 HS10!!! Not sure how that happened, no sales jargon, in fact not a word from any assistant, just 20 minutes to fill with checking out the other cameras, and OH's credit card! The shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just had a quick look at the Specs on that.. . . Very Nice, should meet all your needs for a few years to come. Good price too. So, come on where's the Pics. . . ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 ATM im still working it out, loving the twisty zoom though, like a proper SLR, thats what was putting me off about the S1900, it was a toggle zoom, so not as smooth 10mp, 30x optical zoom, 1/4000 shutter speed, ISO up to 6200, HD video Oh! and the viewfinder is dead smart, it shows up on the LCD if you hold it away from your face, but as soon as you put it up to your face to use the viewfinder, it switches it on!!! Clever eh?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid_Wolf Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Of course he knows,it was his decision to get it, I said i'd be happy with the S1900, but he said this one's better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We mainly want one just so as we can take some photos rather than not being able to because of my phone dying or being full with memory, so it sounds perfect for our useage. Thank you so much ! <3 Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
