Strengths: Fast to turn on, and focus. The control buttons are easy to reach and use. Large adjustable LCD.
Weaknesses: Weight of the camera and length of the lens. The center of gravity is ahead of the camera body.
Summary: The reason I bought this camera is it has a fixed lens with a lot of zoom. Therefore there is no need to change/carry an extra lens. Also there is less chance of dust or dirt getting into the camera. I like to shoot landscapes in many different ways while traveling around the world. If you like to shoot fast action or special subjects requiring special lenses this is probably not the camera for you. I have used other fuji cameras and learning the new features of this one was easier than changing to another brand.

Strengths: Versatile, moveable LCD screen with live view, good zoom, excellent controls/menus, long life battery (over 500 pics) on the first charge, outstanding in good conditions
Weaknesses: Mediocre performance in low light, modest shutter response time, only fair color accuracy
Summary: Good camera for a point-and-shoot upgrade. Does a good job under most conditions, but is overrated in low light. For the price it's an acceptable buy, but performance is average at best, particularly compared to other models at competetive prices. It's easy to operate and I'm sure Fuji will improve on this handy model.
