Fuji S2 User Reviews
  • The Fuji S2 is one of the best cameras for human skin tone reproduction. It's a bit dated these days but I still use one for shooting family pics cause the colors are so good and it outputs great JPEGs straight from the camera. It also does very well at higher ISO levels, I can shoot at 1200 or 1600 ISO and get good quality shots without a lot of image noise. One thing I don't like is that it takes 2 different kinds of batteries but at least the lithium battery lasts a long time.- Albert Jones
