so its probably down to the fact that this is not a DSLR ? :(

yes Mac, that is another issue. because i am taking pictures of fish swimming around a pond i can't get the pic i want becuase they move from where they are between the time i press the button to the camera actually taking the shot, maybe .5 of a second or something. didn't know whether this is...

Hi Donald fancy meeting you here :wave: , LOL . i suppose i should have guessed. I'll take the 'Z' along to the BBQ on Sat and Rich is doing a photography workshop. if i really can't get this thing to do the business then i will have to reconsider my options. this week was a bad time for...

okay, the battery case mod seems to have worked , thanks guys . :) I am now able to take pics even 48hrs after a fully recharged set of batteries were fitted. There is one little niggle .... in between taking each picture the camera seems to need a short 'rest' before being ready to take the...

indeed there is a 'fix' for this problem. :) i will give it a try & see how it goes. http://www.mobiledjforums.com/index.php?//topic/10468-fuji-finepix-s602-battery-drain-problem/ i have done it to mine, but the first set of batteris went flat immediately i pressed the shutter release. :(

i have been offered a Canon 20D with a Sigma 17-70mm and other two lenses : 28-80mm and 80-200mm for £375. then i compared on E-bay and saw this : Sigma 17-70mm that I used all the time before I upgraded it this Spring. The other two lenses are not the greatest (28-80mm and 80-200mm) but you are...

i bought a fuji finepix S602Zoom , i have recently been told (on here) that it isn't actually a DSLR. i thought it was when i bought it. I was advised to buy a DSLR for my needs. Russell.

i bought some KODAK - Zinc Chloride Xtra heavy duty AA's thinking they must be good for cameras as they are from KODAK, they were pants. I also have some Duracell rechargeables - DX1500 NiMH 1.2v/2000mAh 's they were a bit better, but not much.

this camera takes 4 x AA batteries rather than a single battery. :( when it comes to Japanes Koi they are generally viewed best from above. :thumbs:

i have gone out & bought a filter set for this camera (Fuji) includes a circular polarizing one. just not getting to use the camera due to it shutting down with flat batteries before i can even settle on a subject. ( fish swimming in a pond). :bang: just seems that i made a poor camera choice...

having reralised i have bought the 'wrong' camera as a starter, i am now looking for advice for a good camera for my needs. I keep Japanese Koi in my garden pond and want to take very good quality snaps of them. can anyone advise me of a few models that might suit my needs ? would a Canon EOS...

ooops, looks like i should have come on here earlier. i thought it was a DSLR. :shrug: maybe i need a low-budget proper DSLR ? I want a camera that will take very good photo's of my fish in my pond. Russell

I recently bought a Fuji Finepix S602Zoom as my 1st DSLR. i am having a nightmare with the batteries. at first i thought maybe my rechargeable batteries were not charging fully so i reverted to buying a box full of AA's. I hardly get enough time to set myself up to take pics before they go...
