The optical zoom is easy to use and extremely good. In general it is a very simple to get to grips with and take great shots. My needs were simple I wanted a camera that I could take good quality pictures yet I could not justify spending a fortune on a true SLR camera. This little fuji ticks all the boxes.
You can use it in automatic mode or of course in manual as well as stages in between. It is less bulky than the SLR camera. I thought that I could always get a snap using my phone camera but wanted something that I could take out specifically to take quality shots. What I can say it is the best camera I have owned, even comparing it to my Nikon F50 35mm which I adore. The S5700 ... Read More:

I bought the Fish Eye 2 in preparation for a holiday in Paris, and it was definitely worth it. The pictures are brilliant and with the ability for long and multiple exposures almost anything is possible. The Fish Eye view finder is good for those planned photo's where you want to see what you're capturing but it's much more fun to just shoot everything and see what comes out. And the fact that it uses normal 35mm film is also good as it means you can treat it just like a normal film camera, which I personally think should be used more rather than digital cameras. The only downside I have is the position of the flash, this means that for close pictures of people etc there is a shadow on the right of the picture where the lens blocks the flash, most ...

The lomography action sampler is a poorly made, highly marked up, piece of plastic junk. I've given other lomo products a lot of leeway given that we're not going for super-pure photographic imagery here, but this item is simply very poorly made and in my case, didn't even last the first roll of film.
The low-tech four shutter triggering system seems to be driven by a spring which resets when you wind the film on, which would be fine, if the entire mechanism had any type of quality control whatsoever. In my case, one or possibly two of the shutters get triggered then it whines to a pretty lame sounding halt... After then winding the film on, it will most likely try and trigger again, wasting another frame of film.
