| 412830 | 2006-02-07 00:34:00 | AS for 1GB card, that's overkill. Unless you are shooting in Other-than-JPEG format (which I highly doubt you do) or shoot a lot of pictures (and I do mean a lot, like 200 pictures in a trip or so) you probably don't need that much picture. It takes no time at all to snap off 200 pictures on "a trip" and having lots of memory card space saves the agony of having to choose the better pics out of several whilst viewing on the tiny LCD screen. From experience you can't always judge whether a pic is blurry or tell which are the better ones until they are uploaded and viewed onscreen. It is always better to have too much than not enough when it comes to memory and disk space. ;) |

| 412831 | 2006-02-07 02:51:00 | digital is not the like film days when you went travel and took back 4 or 6 rolls of film. when i travel I est a roll of 36 a day on average. so a 2 week break that equals 504 photo. pple can get mem card dumped on CD at a store or some pple carry Ipods which is compatible or a portable HDD with mem card slot compatible. For a DSLR user myself as well, I average 512MB a day on a 6MP camera shooting RAW format. For 2 week that equals 7GB. Portable HDD works for me or else a ultraportable laptop for now til I can get more money. In due time I do hope to pick up a 2GB memory card with my current 512MB that is enof for 5 days, if I shoot less could be enof for 7 days, I tend to travel less days so I can visit more often so 7 day perhaps is enof for a typical holiday and I can avoid the weight of a laptop or HDDs. RAW is like a digital negative there are more room to play around with the image on the computer like how a film negative can be altered and stuff at the lab. |

| 412832 | 2006-02-08 23:45:00 | Ther are some that say the Fuji FinePix S5600 has rather a smaller screen than would be expected...1 1/4". | Cicero (40) | ||
| 412833 | 2006-02-09 00:08:00 | Not so. The Fuji S5600 has a 1.8" LCD screen, which is fairly standard for this class of camera. | Bazza (407) | ||
| 412834 | 2006-02-09 00:18:00 | Limitation I found for the Fuji's is a limited long exposure time?? | Nomad (952) | ||
| 412835 | 2006-02-09 00:42:00 | What do you mean? If you are referring to the longest shutter speed, on the Fuji S5600 camera we are considering, it is 30 seconds. Is that a "limitation" ? The fastest shutter speed is 1/4000 sec. |

| 412836 | 2006-02-09 01:09:00 | Not so. The Fuji S5600 has a 1.8" LCD screen, which is fairly standard for this class of camera. Sorry about that Baz.Saw a video of camera test,and they were complaining of the screen size,now you mention it,they did say 1.8" |

| 412837 | 2006-02-09 03:34:00 | Oh. Thanks. Looks like they have fixed that up, I think the s5000 had 2 or 3 sec I think and that would be a bit less for fireworks. 30sec, too low, yeah if I wanna do star trials, haha. 6hr please :thumbs: and a super long lasting battery. Maybe I should get a mechanical film camera :D |
