Type:
Submitted by: Steven from Los Angeles, CA
Date Reviewed: 4/10/2007
Months Owned: Less than 1
Photos Taken: 1000-2499
Skill Level: Pro

What's Hot: Color, Image Quality, D200 quality of construction, focus, Nikon lens mount

What's Not: Menu not as good as D200, some teething problems, no wireless yet, no Aperture support yet for raw

Review: A good camera that might be great, I've only had it for a week. The auto ISO feature is poorly implemented, working in 'Manual' when it shouldn't caused me great problems on a shoot. Fuji support seemed kind of lackadaisical in responding to this problem. The colors are wonderful, the high ISO quality astonishing, far better than D200. It would be nice if the WT-3A wireless could work with it, but it doesn't. I really like the look of the stuff I get out of this camera, hope I don't find more wrinkles.
