"The S602 Zoom is a good example of a well thought out and implemented digital camera, it provides a zoom range in combination with nice ergonomics, a strong case and flexible set of manual controls. [While] it does deliver excellent video capture ability (one of the SuperCCD III features) it comes up short one the one item we were all hoping for, improved image quality. To my eye the only slight improvement there is a reduction in flat area noise.

If you shoot mostly for the web, email or printing below 8 x 10" then the S602Z is still a very good camera (as you'll see from the web reduced images in our gallery - next page). The trouble Fujifilm have now is that the four and five megapixel competition have leapfrogged them as far as image resolution is concerned."
