Review Fuji S1 Backyard Birding Camera
I'll explain the title in a minute, but first will start with an older and less expensive model the Fuji 4200S. It was the first camera I purchased for birding. I bought it in 2013 for $175 at walmart, and it was enough to be enthusiastic about, and get involved, but had some limitations. The main issue was excessive noise at the full zoom of 30x and low light like in the mornings and evenings when birds are most active. This review is based on experience in backyard birding, and zoom, fast focus, fast pics, long battery life, and low noise is important.
It wasn't long before I wanted to upgrade, which was the Fuji 8200S. This was a great birding camera, it was almost there, still a little noise, and the 40x zoom was about where the camera stayed, I loved that it would take eight shot bursts which would capture several frames, which birds don't just sit there while getting their picture taken very often. And take pictures I did, took about 50,000 pics on one year, which is about 400 per day.
But the weather was hot and humid in the summer, and the house cold, so taking the camera outside brought in plenty of condensation. I began to see artifacts, or blurs that weren't always obvious, til I did a macro shot and the focus was such, I could see the water drops on the lens directly on the picture.
I purchased a Fuji 9500W which is real similar to the S1, “I am getting to the S1” but the flash didn't work so I returned it. But the weekend with it was great, the 50 zoom and 10 picture bursts were great.
At this time I had my eye on the S1, but they were 500 dollars in 2014, so I had to wait.
The weatherproof, “resistant” feature of the Fuji S1 was the calling card. Being it was almost a third more for that feature, which I knew very little about the camera before buying it, I was hesitant, but in 2015, Amazon had one for $339, so I got it. Now for the run down.
I got a lot more than just weatherproof, in addition to what I had with the 8200S and 9500W. In many ways it was similar to the 9500W, but the big differences were the sensor, and the RAW images. The sensor, a 16M BSI-CMOS, was great in low light, and very little noise. I rarely have to use median, which was my go to noise reduction on the earlier cameras. Nor do I need the unsharp mask. The colors are great, which I put it on Chrome, which basically turns the colors up, but with more green. The tone is great and for nature is preferable to me over the standard setting. The camera also has image stabilization and it must be working great, for that is one of those things, that if it works, you don't notice it, simple because the pictures turn out great.
But the feature that I like most about it is the RAW file feature. It can be set for RAW, or FINE, which FINE is high quality Jpeg, or for both. The advantage of RAW is readily evident when rendering large images for art, for it is 300dpi instead of 72, and makes a big difference in prints. For this reason alone, it is worth the upgrade.
But there is a downside, two issues come to mind. One is if it is set on RAW, or RAW and FINE, then the digital zoom past 50 by 2x is disabled. This is not a big deal, for image quality is reduced when using that feature, but the burst mode is disabled. This is probably due to the ability to store the files as they are many times larger than Jpegs. I imagine this will be solved in the near future and may be already on more expensive cameras. The other issue is Windows 7 does not show thumbnails for the RAF files, which is the file extension. for the Fuji Raw files. I was not able to find a free Fuji supported or third party codec which is needed for the thumbnails to show. I did see one for sale, but I did not buy it. I am simply shooting both, and they appear side by side in window explorer.
I did discover for free something interesting for RAW files that many people should like.
That is the Silkypix Raw File Converter EX. It was on the Fuji Website, installed easily enough, and is great for basic editing such as color temp, contrast, sharpness, with some preset color styles. It then can save the file in a number of formats, including JPEG and is a very functional program. It is at least as good as the RAW camera filter in Adobe Photoshop, but it is slight different, and might compliment it or replace that function depending on personal preference.
The battery life is good, the focus is fast, although a high flying jet or bird, it might not immediately be able to focus and the shot is lost., The grip is good, but the camera is a bit heavy at 24 ounces but not bad. Why did I say birding camera? It is the camera for birding, for me, as the whole package works in concert, the zoom, the RAW files, the fast recovery to take a second picture, as in less than a second. And the weatherproof is great. It also takes fantastic pictures of the moon, by setting it on manual and adjusting the ISO for the moon at night, and auto is great for day pics. For the novice photographer, or photographer that wants the end result without having to “work” the camera, the Fuji S1 is the ideal backyard birding camera.

Increasingly, I've been using video in my business, so I decided it was time to get a new camera. It has turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it would be.
Since most Point-and-Shoots, Bridges (aka Super Zooms), and DSLRs incorporate video, I figured that all I'd have to do is get a camera that has consistently favorable reviews and I'd be home free.
Of all the Super Zooms I research, the Fujifilm Finepix S1, seemed to stand out. I never found any professional reviews that ranked it #1, but it was the most consistently favorably rated of all the 2014 cameras I surveyed, often grabbing the 1st Runner Up or #2 rank.
So simplistically, I thought it was a safe bet and I bought it from Amazon. I found that for the criteria that is most important casual to serious photography enthusiasts, it was top notch. (Note that previous to the S1, I had also tested out the Nikon L830 and the Olympus SP-100). Currently, I'm testing a Nikon p600.
✔ Fast, crisp Autofocus both near and far.
✔ Variable Zoom speed. While not 100% variable, there is a fast and slow zoom...useful when trying keep a distant object with the frame.
✔ Great picture quality. Aside from unusual family snapshots, did a few shot of the Moon. While is this no big accomplishment, given that most Super Zooms can handle this, I was amazed at the level of detail I could get when further cropping in my Moon images in the camera.
✔ Weather resistance. I didn't get a chance to test this before I returned it to Amazon, but this would have been a great feature to play with at the beach or during raining weather.
✔ Wonderful, heft and feel. The S1 has the most SLR-like look and feel of the Super Zooms I've tried. It's got grippy textures, and just feel right in your hands.
☞ Things Which Bothered Me (Minor Quibbles to Others). The S1 is a great camera and I believe my issues are just unique to me, so I'm not trying to give S1 owners a hard time :-). That said:
✘ Limited video range. I found that, even trying different settings, the S1 could not zoom more than than a 2x range once are you are recording a video. Think about it how that ties your hands while videoing your child's high school graduation.
✘ Shorter maximum focal length than other 50x Super Zoom cameras. Possibly due to a shorter beginning macro focal length, the S1 on a full Moon evening, will zoom to a point where the entire Moon does not quite fill your frame. With other 50x's like the Olympus SP-100, you can zoom much further and see the features of the Sea of Tranquility as it fills your whole frame.
✘ Plastic tripod socket. I have no idea why Fujifilm would lavish all the attention to detail to making the S1 weather resistant, but while giving it a plastic tripod socket. I Googled and sent emails to Fujifilm hoping to that they'd tell me it was some super proprietary hardened polycarbonate, but I was told (paraphrasing) "It's plastic, so be careful not to screw things in too tight." What? On a $400 camera, you're telling me this?
So you get my drift. Again...you know and I know this is one of the top Super Zoom cameras. But for what I'm searching for, it doesn't cut the mustard.
I wish I could give this 3.8 stars, but I since can't bring myself to give it 4.0, it's 3 stars.
*****Update as of Tuesday, December 16, 2014, 04:28:48 PM*****
I have confirmed than an issue I experienced with limited zoom range while shooting videos was due to a glitch that appears to be rare. So I added a star to my rating.
