I agree Jacky, on one of the photos I took there was a plain passing by I didn't notice after I taken the picture it came out perfect. LOL Image Stabilizer is nice but you don't really need it, It's is like shooting a weapon (breathing, and trigger sqeezing techniques ) It's natural for me. Increase shutter speed, open aperture wider. The command dial is a thumb alway. LOLsmile8.gif

Eventually I going to get the RAYNOX DCR 250 soon.cool10.gif

But without a doubt, the noise level of Fuji cameras is AWESOME! Starting from its past models the S7000. The only thing that might be torn between this and other competitors according to the general consumers, is that the Fuji is lacked of the Image Stabilizing feature.

But Image Stabilizer(IS) is not necessary for watch pics as most of the time we are using tripod. And it is not necessary again for outdoor shoot as the bright light will allow the use of faster shutter speed which again, one can do without shutter speed.

However, IS is VERY USEFUL if it comes to low light condition, for e.g. in a concert, theatre, hockey game,.....where flash is not allowed or not proper for use. That's where the IS comes effective and useful. Of course one can compensate with high ISO setting but only to a certain extend(noise level especially) which varies from camera to camera.

That said, I really like Fuji cameras cos of its super low noise levels and its awesome SUPER MACRO mode even w/o add on filters/lens.

Btw, Johnny, the RAYNOX DCR 250 is a very good lens cos the focal length is great for life shots like bugs and insects! RAYNOX makes very high quality products. I had a RAYNOX lens adapter and filters. Though I do not own any RAYNOX tele or macro lenses before, I can see by the lens adapter and filters I had that RAYNOX is a very good brand and worth every penny for them!

JMO as I am no expert. :P
