Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
With a generous 18x Fujinon optical zoom lens, the S2950 really packs a punch, especially when matched with its 14 megapixel sensor, large 3.0" LCD screen and 720p HD (30fps) movie capture.
Brilliant, crisp images
Electric powered Fujinon 18x zoom lens
The S2950 sports an impressive 28mm – 504mm* high precision Fujinon optical zoom lens. Simple to operate with an electric powered zoom lever, the huge zoom range means that you can capture all the detail, even when you're at a considerable distance away. You can even operate the zoom during video shooting. Unlike a bulky D-SLR, bridge cameras allow you great versatility of zoom, without the hassle of carrying a bag of lenses.
Impressive panoramas
With its easy to use Panoramic shooting mode you can get creative on the S2950, however basic your skills, and rest assured that you will not risk shooting uneven landscapes or shaky horizons. The camera enables you to take three successive shots with a helpful tool which automatically releases the shutter once the images are fully aligned to seamlessly stitch the shots together in-camera. It's so easy and the results are impressive.

Sharp, clear shots
Even at the longest zoom settings or in the most challenging of lighting conditions, the S2950 is able to produce crisp, clean results. With its mechanically stabilised 1/2 3", 14 megapixel CCD sensor, and high ISO sensitivity settings, Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation technology combines to reduce the blurring effects of both hand-shake and subject movement to provide superb pictures.
Advanced HD capabilities for Both Movies and Stills
For the complete viewing experience, the FinePix S2950 is HD enabled and can therefore play-back both HD stills (Full HD) and movies (720p) in superb quality on any HDTV. It's yet to become the standard method of viewing photos, but it’s certainly not to be knocked. And given that this camera has a mini HDMI port it's very quick and easy to connect it up to a HDTV* and play back your photos on the big screen.
*Mini HDMI cable required (not included)
The camera can detect blinks and waits for the right moment to shoot
Frown or blink and the picture's spoilt
Not anymore! With Fujifilm's Smile and Shoot mode the camera can recognise the exact moment your subject smiles and releases the shutter only when this happens, ensuring that all your photos are happy ones! Additionally the Blink Detection function warns you if any of your subjects have blinked so that you can re-take the photo if necessary.
Facebook/YouTube easy web upload
NEW in 2011 for the S series range of cameras is Fujifilm's easy web upload function. It allows you, in-camera, to tag pictures for speedy upload to Facebook and YouTube once you connect to a PC and launch My FinePix Studio. A great time saver, it allows you to organise your photos when you're on the move!
Preserve your memories for longer by creating a Photobook!
The S2950 allows you to select in-camera the images you want to feature in your Photobook; this task is particularly simple if you have already star-rated your favourite photos! You literally tag the images that you want to have in your photo book & select which one you want for the front page and then when you are ready to order the book it's a much quicker, easier task. You can also simply enjoy viewing the selected images in an in-camera Photobook with pages that turn! Great fun.

Good camera. Nice size, compact light weight. Easy to use and very quick set-up with batterys supplied. Easy to get great looking stills at 1080p, and very clear 720p video recording mode. Plenty of helpfull modes for different light conditions and face tracking. Flash works very well ( see every detail in a pitch black room! ).Big user friendly screen to view photos on; easy acces with HDMI and USB. Most impressive has to be the 18x optical zoom bringing sharp clear detailed images from substantial distances, helped by the auto focus. Very good camera great value for money.

I bought this to replace a Finepix S1600 which I managed to lose a month after buying it. That replaced my sadly departed and much loved S5500. Like a lot of people buying a bridge camera, I've got a pretty good knowledge of photography and I want something more creative than a basic point & shoot, but I don't have the time & money to get into the DSLR thing. I mainly want to be able to take pictures of my family & friends and have the options to do more than basic snapshots.
Speed is important to me - I find burst shooting really useful when trying to capture family moments. This was something I found very frustrating on the 1600 - it took ages to process and store burst mode pictures. The 2950 is better but still not great, even with a class 10 SDHC card. It still takes ages before the camera is ready to shoot again - even if you only took a single image.
The 2950 really wins over the 1600 in low light. The 1600 seemed to rely heavily on high ISO settings for image stabilisation, which meant that I got a lot of very noisy pics. The 2950 is miles better in that respect and I'm generally pleased with the indoor pictures I've taken so far.
I say generally because all the images seem to be very slightly soft and there's too much blue which makes them look quite cold and pale. It seems as though the automatic white balance doesn't work too well. It's nothing you can't tweak out later but obviously that takes time. Alternatively you can choose a white balance if you're not using either of the automatic shooting modes. There's a good choice of preset ones or it's really easy to set your own, but I can't help feeling that I shouldn't have to.
The 2950 still suffers from the same lack of choice of aperture settings in semi-automatic modes as the 1600. It's not something I'd have used every day but would have been nice to have the option. Personally I wish Fuji had spent the R&D time addressing this rather than adding all the gimmicky social media features.
The operating system is very usable and the menus are sensibly organised so you can get at things intuitively and quickly (although as I said I have owned Fuji cameras for years which may speed that up). I also have to mention the face recognition which is excellent - fast and accurate.
I've knocked it down a star because of the speed thing, the white balance and the lack of aperture choice, which I accept won't bother everyone as much as they do me. Overall I'd say that if you're in the market for a bridge camera this is seriously worth considering. In my research I couldn't find an obviously better one for the same money, so I'm possibly judging it a bit harshly given the price tag. I don't think any of the flaws are really serious and so I think I'll be sticking with this camera for as long as I did with my 5500. But I don't think I'll love it quite as much.

This madel, the Fujifilm FinePix S2950 is the kind of camera to suite an enthusiast. It has high capabilities and the price is very fair. Fuji have come a long way with their latest models. This one will take panoramic photographs (3 x 1) and stich them seemlessly. Has a built in flash. Super lense for zoom and macro photography. I love this camera and am very happy that I purchased it. I am a fan of the Fujifilm cameras as they do allow Manual and Automatic photography. A plus is that they also can take a very good movie too. An SD card is used and it will take HCSD cards with ample memory for loads of photographs as well as videos. The camera is easy to use, fits very nicely in the hand, has a nice large LCD too. Takes 4 x AA batteries (supplied). Small-ish downside: No thread on the lens for additional filters or lenses but the attachmant adaptor can be purchased online. These are not screwed into place but are a close fit over the lens housing and held into place with a tiny grub-screw.
If you are interested, then I suggest that you look online for all the specifications and even download a free user manual.
I hope this will have been useful to you. Thank you for reading this review.
