deanflute 550 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 An opportunity has risen for me to purchase the above camera. Is it any good? I'm only going to be using it for when I'm out and about with the dogs. I know nothing about cameras but this one is £35. So is it worth buying or give it a swerve?

Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 For that price I would bite their hands off. I had a hold of one in a boot sale a couple of months ago, hell of a zoom on it. The chap wanted £150 for it. http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews_fujifilm_finepix_s6500fd.php TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deanflute 550 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 What are they like for action shots? I want to capture the dogs running and hopefully behind some rabbits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I have not read the specs of the camera, but With most fuji they have a sports mode which speeds up the shutter speed to allow taking of action shots. It is a bridge camera and as such it has limitations but for the price you will not get better. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deanflute 550 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I've just read that it's got a high speed shooting mode with 0.035 second lag what ever that means Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hjckcff 1,738 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 the lag basically means there is a delay between your click and the picture being took. . a good camera for that price but you wouldn't have to add a fortune to get a second hand DSLR. . much better for action pics or you could buy it to sell on and maybe make a couple of pounds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
