Digital Camera Reviews and Ratings By manufacturer:

Steve's Digicams reviews the Fujifilm S3100 and writes - 'The FinePix S3100 offers beginner digital photographers 4.0 million pixels of resolution with a 6x optical zoom lens, which enables users to capture crisp, clear images of distant subjects. It can also record QVGA (320x240) video clips at a rate of 10 frames/second without sound. This model updates the popular FinePix S3000.
The S3100's 4.0 megapixel resolution produces images of up to 2272 x 1704 for photo-quality prints up to 8 x 10 inches in size. Its 6x optical zoom will bring distance subjects closer with a 39-234mm (35mm equivalent) focal range. This is a stylish point-n-shoot that offers fully automatic operation with creative scene modes. It also features Manual mode, which allows you to select aperture settings (F2.8, F5, F8), sharpness control (Soft, Normal, Hard) and white balance (Auto, Fine, Shade, Fluorescent light, Fluorescent light, Fluorescent light, Incandescent light.)....
Bottom line - the FinePix S3100 will make a good choice for those who want a very affordable "Big Zoom" camera. It's great for users who are just getting into digital photography and plan on shooting mostly outdoor photos; we can't recommend it for indoor shooting due to its inability to focus in low ambient light. With a street price of around $299, it offers good overall value. '
Imaging Resource reviews the Fuji Finepix S3100 and writes - 'The previous Fuji FinePix 2800 and 3800 Zoom cameras turned out to be exceptional values for the money, and the updated FinePix S3100 offers the same great value with the addtion of a 4.0-megapixel CCD. The S3100's higher resolution is a welcome improvement, providing great image quality for a budget-priced digicam, and its 6x optical zoom is excellent for distant subjects. Though it lacks "enthusiast" features such as full manual exposure options, the S3100 does feature an adjustable aperture setting, adjustable flash intensity, and a selection of preset "scene" modes. For everyday outdoor shooting, the S3100 does very well and really sets a benchmark for an affordable long-zoom digicam.'
