Great camera if you already have a bag with you

It was a good camera but we ended up sending it back. Carry a giant SLR with you wherever you go. We did some research and it topped the charts. We tested the camera for two weeks in a variety of conditions - indoors, outdoors, at night, from afar, etc. I wanted it to zoom more with the included lens, but when we saw the photos on the computer we were able to do that Enlarge the photo and everything remained a very clear image, so the zoom was in post-processing. I also didn't like the lack of a viewfinder, although my husband wasn't embarrassed. He played with the settings a lot and seemed to have perfected his work in less than a week. We ended up returning the camera because my husband often didn't take it with him when we left. To see things because he could take good enough photos with his phone. If we were going somewhere and he had a backpack, he would bring a camera and use it. But if it was just a wallet, keys, and a phone, he wouldn't take a camera with him, even in a small suitcase. So it made no sense to us. It's a great camera, easy to use, but in the end we decided not to use it much. Also, transferring Fujifilm photos to your phone was unnecessary and I never got it to work. Bad app so I couldn't post pictures on social media. It was a great advantage for me and it was a failure.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Good mostly but...
