Fujifilm’s FinePix S1 (http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/s/finepix_s1/) boasts a whopping image-stabilized 50x optical zoom, thanks to a huge zoom lens. This enables a focal range that’s the 35mm equivalent of a wide angle 24mm to 1200mm—excellent for shooting landscapes and group portraits, but also for capturing candid close-ups from afar. Since the lens specification is all encompassing, it doesn’t matter that you can’t swap it like you would on the DSLR camera.</p><figure class="large "><a class="zoom" href="http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/05/fujifilm-finepix-x-s1-04-100267073-orig.jpg">(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/05/fujifilm-finepix-x-s1-04-100267073-large.jpg)[/url]</figure>

There are a lot of DSLR-type features packed into this “bridge” camera—so called because it provides a bridge between a point and shoot camera and a DSLR. The FinePix S1 includes an eye-level viewfinder (of the electronic variety), plus a hot shoe for attaching accessories. Fujifilm also found room atop the viewfinder for a pop up flash that is manually activated by a button sitting just below it on the left.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2152420/fujifilm-finepix-s1-review-weather-resistant-camera-with-50x-zoom.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
