This was my very first camera and I remember loving it, I got some really good shots with it but felt I needed something with a little more manul control, so I entered into the DSLR world with a Canon 400d, I pretty much haven't used this small Fuji since. I saw it sitting in the bottom of a drawer the other day and vowed to take it out for a day to see what we could create. So this morning I put it in my pocket as I walked my girlfriend to her work and snapped a few shots (luckily it was a great morning). I got home and took the shots into photoshop and quickly realised that the quality is not as bad as I first feared (not great but pretty decent for an old 6 megapixel digital compact). This camera could still get a shot if I needed and it is so small. It can't hold up to the compacts nowadays or the new hybrid cameras (it doesn't shoot raw) but I think I will start to use it again. I am currently looking into getting one of the hybrid cameras, either a GH2 or a Fuji X100 (that viewfinder is amazing) as I want a small camera that can deliver results that are useable on a pro assignment.
I wish I had never stopped taking this camera around with me, I might have got some shots that I wasn't have comfortable taking with a big SLR. Just goes to show how we all get caught up in technology, I know that digital compacts especially back in the day have their limitations but I am now going to try and use them to their strengths. Oh and it has a pretty decent macro too which will be nice to play with again.
Below are the shots that I snapped this morning. I will post more shots as I go through them and I will take this around with me for a few days to see how it fairs.
