The FinePix S100FS is a super-zoom digital camera, which incorporates a newly developed Fujinon lens optimized for nature photography. Rich, expressive capacity produces high resolution, making the most of the large 2/3-inch, 11.1 megapixel, Super CCD.The FinePix S100FS incorporates functions, which are so useful for taking photos of nature. One of these functions is the Film Simulation Mode. Film Simulation Mode allows you to take photos as if you are selecting the most appropriate type of film for each scene.One of the great charms of nature photography is communication with nature. In addition to the newly developed electronic viewfinder, the FinePix S100FS has a 2.5-inch 230,000 dots high-precision LCD which can be freely moved 90 upwards and 45 downwards. A wide-angle monitor with coverage of about 100% offers you flexible shooting positions from low angles to high angles. With this monitor it is easy to check the focusing and the color tone of the photos you have taken and to see menu displays.

Great Camera
Great Camera for a Great Price.
If you're looking for quality, you've come to the right product.
This 11.1 MP digital camera is the best Fujifilm camera yet. You also get a great $300 lens
BUY IT NOW!!!
Ideal
I take pictures at pow wows and have been waiting for full control camera that had over 10 mp and a super zoom lens. As most of my shots are at ground level the flexible monitor is great. An SLR didn't get it as in seconds I need to switch from subjects 8' then 150' with lots of action. No time to change from 38mm to 400mm this camera can do it. Sure you can get a somewhat higher definition photo with a DSLR costing over twice as much but there is a place for this type camera.
 disappointment
the camera is not worth even a fraction of the price...
very sophisticated menu but a simpler camera (HP) makes much better pictures...
bottom line :it is a rip off!
Everything I hoped it would be.
Credentials: Advanced amateur, S100fs replaced Fuji S9000.
I wanted/needed more zoom and was intrigued about a camera designed with nature photographer in mind. . . was annoyed that Fuji went to a special battery and cautious about the reported 'major' problem with purple fringing - but decided to buy the S100fs anyway.
A) I have yet to be able to kill off the battery. I take mainly existing light photos with ALOT of zooming and changing settings - so almost the same as flash. . . I haven't even gotten a 'battery is half gone' indicator yet (after 295+ pictures on one charge over 4-5 days of shooting) - so that doesn't seem to be a problem.
B) OK - purple fringing - to be frank, I've had a HARD time getting it to do this, mainly because most of my shots are zoomed or wide-angled. Yesterday I tried really, really, hard to get the fringing to appear - it only shows up in shots at 55mm or so and was only really visible in a shot that I just wouldn't normally take - the sun was at an angle I didn't like and the sunlight was bouncing off the brick building, it was that bright out. Soooooooo, if you take a lot of pictures at 55 mm (why do you want an ultrazoom then) and like really bright light - then it's a concern.
C) I LOVE THIS CAMERA! There are some differences from the S9000 and lower series that is taking a bit of getting use to - i.e. only two positions on on/off switch - preview is achieved with another button on S100fs. They moved the macro button back to the 4-way on the back (instead of on the left side - for the S9000).
D) I have gotten some fantastic shots - for example, a damsel fly about 20-30 ft away (on a piece of grass) - I was able to zoom in, hit the 2x digital and get a incredible close up (with a little work - see below for webpage with example). The angle isn't the best, but it's a great example of what is possible with this camera! Insects can be a pain, since usually to get close enough to get a great, detailed, shot - it becomes obvious to them and they move.
E) I'm haven't tried much more than about 1/3 of the stuff available on this camera - but I am very, very, very happy with it.
I made up a webpage with some examples: http://www.gassigns.org/scirillo/S100fs/
Do-It-All Wondercamera is right.
This camera will do anything you want to do, and do it well. If you want to use it as a point and shoot, it excels at that. If you want to use it as a DSL replacement, it excels at that too. Great zoom, great sensor, great features, and good price. I can't say enough good things about it. All the complaints I've seen are nitpickey. Just buy it.
