The first camera I wish to mention is an inexpensive ultra zoom camera, the FinePix S1500 a sophisticated compact constructed to fulfill the requirements of trained shooters at a highly reasonably priced point. At the same time, the new Finepix S1500 is functionally equal to the Finepix S1000fd, but we're looking at a somewhat distinct.
