Not sure why Fuji engineers had to go off and muck up a pretty good formula they've succeeded with on the previous F series. I've owned Fuji cameras for years (this is my 5th one) and have always liked their low light capabilities and simple menus. This new EXR capability seems to detract both the design and complicate the low light capabilities. I tried a whole series of configurations at a recent wedding and found the low level performance - with EXR and with the natural Light - to be useless. That's a dramatic drop in performance from my previous F60 that faithfully produced the best images in low light when every one else's cameras were struggling with noise. I've also found that EXR add processing lag. you have to wait a tad longer before you can take the next pic. The remaining features of the camera are fabulous. In good light the optics and processor produce terrific, high grade images with wonderful and vivid color. The 10x lens can't be beat. Overall a good camera, but I'm disappointed that the EXR advancements don't deliver good low light performance.

I rarely write reviews but this was such a disappointing product (especially after the rave reviews) that I feel I need to guide folks away from this product.
First the positives:
+ The optical zoom really is incredible. I took some zoomed night shots (braced on a window sill) with a 4 second exposure at full zoom, and the detail is amazing. Kudos to a fine lens to make that possible -- would expect nothing less from Fujinon.
Unfortunately, that's just about it for the positives. And I really am looking at this as a P&S (point and shoot), not as an SLR (single lens reflex). On to what really made this camera unworkable:
- Terrible noise. At 400 ISO in low light, it has as much noise as my old F31fd at _1600_ ISO in low light. (Note: I am comparing the F70 against another P&S, not an SLR.) I had hoped that it was just the LCD screen but after loading the craptastic Finepix Viewer on to my laptop (450 MB of bloatware) to ensure that any Fuji-specific import of photos into the laptop was preserved, I find that the noise is just as bad in the end result viewed on screen. It's to the point where most of the shots, unless in completely bright daylight OUTSIDE were pretty painful to look at. And forget about cropping a picture because the result blown up cropped section is too noisy.
- Shots were blurred even in a brightly lit room even at 800 ISO. The problem is even a SLIGHT zoom ratchets the aperture beyond f/4.7 which means the shutter has to stay open for a REALLY long time, creating blurred shots. (Unless you're taking braced shots of things that don't move.)
- Largest aperture is f/3.3 whereas the F31fd is a nice, bright f/2.0. This makes a huge huge difference and is likely the cause of aforementioned blurring.
- I thought that the EXR would help with low-light, especially at higher "sensitivities" (ISO's). It didn't. Shots at 800 and above are basically unusable.
- Not sure if this is a trend, but if I pay $250 for a camera, I expect to have a paper manual inside, not just a CD with a PDF on it. I used this camera while on a business trip and wasn't super excited about propping a laptop up in bed to read about how to use it.
- It's BIGGER than the F31fd. Just as deep and tall, but it's actually longer.
In summary, this camera has a beautiful lens but it's wasted because the rest of the features make it impossible to take pictures of anything that might be moving in anything short of bright daylight. Thinking now that our course of action will be to repair our trusty old F31fd!

I really wanted to love this camera, but after 3 weeks struggle, decided to return it and go back to my old Canon.
Pros:
1.Beautiful LCD: the picture on the LCD look way better than anything else I'd owned
2.Natural light+flash mode: two different pictures in one shot, my favorite feature, but then I realize the +flash is always nicer, so probably not that useful.
3. Crisp images
Cons:
1. Odd placement of flash: the flash is placed on the right hand side of the camera, right next to the shutter. extremely difficult to operate with single hand. always accidentally block the flash.
2. Weak flash: Maybe it's normal for this type of compact PnS, but my dad's Sony HX1 has way more powerful flash. This Fuji ended up useless most of the time during our trip to Hawaii, where strong flash was needed in a lot of shots to counter the super bright background.
3. Slow processing: Takes long to process the picture between shots
4. Bad battery life: I got 3 backup batteries for this little camera, each backup performs similar to the one came with the camera, but equally bad. I did need all 4 batteries to last a 6 hour day trip. Also slow flash charging.
5. Poor charger quality: charger died after few charges. End up not being able to use the camera for half of my trip
6. Only 3 continuous shots: unlike what was stated in the user's manual, this camera only allows 3 continuous shots. Even worse, after each continuous series, it'll take about 30 sec before you can use the camera to do anything. Very annoying feature, though not as annoying as Sony HX1, which takes even longer to recover. For this, Canon is the nicest: 0.8fps until card full, super useful for taking random shots. I think this and the charger issue are the two deal breakers for me.

I wanted a camera with more zoom than our Canon SD (I also use 2 DSLRs and film cameras). I picked this cam because I didn't need HD movies(ala Sony) or HDR(Fuji EXR200). Shirt-pocket-fit, quality images, 10:1 zoom, macro, reliabilty and ease of use were my criteria and this camera fit them all. This is my 3rd Fuji point-and-shoot and the first two lasted a several years each, going through much abuse, travel and being handed down to other family members. Picture quality is very good, I use mostly the Program Mode, occasionaly changing "film Simulation" or the ISO range. I like a camera where I can control the exposure and focus point and with this camera I almost always can. The only thing missing is manual focus. I've taken about 750 pics with this cam in the month I've had it and highly recommend it for quality, versatility and ease of use in a pocket camera.
