Fuji FinePix F700 Zoom

The Fuji FinePix F700 Zoom uses Fuji's Super CCD SR technology which means that every pixel has 2 sensors, giving a greater depth of tone, highlights and shading.

Fuji FinePix F700 reviews

Excellent camera, with very good picture quality and easy to use, however....after 14 months it stopped working. I took it back to the shop where I bought it from (Jessops) and was informed that the sensor had gone, basically the thing was junk as it was going to cost the same to fix it as it had cost to buy, not impressed. After reading other reviews it seems that this is not an isolated fault, it's a disgrace that Fuji make a camera that only lasts just over 12 months and charges £200 plus for it. For the record I have now bought a Nikon Cool Pix P1 which is brilliant. AVOID FUJI.

I bought this camera just over a year ago, and was amazed with the fantastic quality pictures, macro was particularly wonderful, and I could not fault it. I often used it instead of my Canon eos 300D, and on my pc I cannot tell which camera took which picture. HOWEVER.... after just 11 months I found that the exposure had stopped working to the point that it would only be correct indoors, and was a white blur outdoors under most lighting conditions. I thought it was user error, and kept resetting the camera, but after 13 months realised that it was a known fault with the CCD mechanism. But guess what, the warranty ran out after 1 year, so I have a unusable camera that only lasted 12 months. Fuji are not taking responsibility for this, even though the breakdown is obviously a fault they know about. I am very disappointed as I really loved everything about this solid little camera. I do not think I would go to Fuji again, they need to market them as disposable cameras, if they cannot make anything go the distance!!!
