Customer Review: works well, but full frame show imperfection
On my full frame 5d there is a significant amount of vignetting, but that was rather expected being so much less expensive than the canon 24-70 L. Bought it because i am on a tight budget, and I dont regret it. Even with the vignetting- its still woth saving the 600+ dollar difference.
Customer Review: Good value for the money!
This was my first non Canon lens purchase, granted the other lenses I've owned has been cheaper Canon lenses (kit lens, 50mm and 28-135mm).
I've never owned an L so I can't compare it to those but here are my impressions:
Price: Can't beat it, its a 2.8 like the better L lenses out there and for a fraction of the cost. Love it!
Noise: Really can't say that its that noisy as I've heard people complain. Again I have not owned an L's so in my limited experience with lenses, its not noisy, nothing I'd consider loud enough to disturb a wedding ceremony or anything of the sorts.
Focusing: It's as fast as my 28-135mm, so not bad, its fast enough to catch my kids running by, get them in focus and me snap the picture.
About the focusing, I did notice mine had a bit of trouble with front focusing, but works well now when I've got that taken care of.
I really haven't had opportunity to test it in the conditions it was built for but so far I've been impressed with it.
Its not really bulky, it seems solidly built even if its not L quality.
The pictures I've taken so far has been crisp and clean and bright, really I cant complain, again a great lens purchase. I can't wait for them to come out with a 70-200mm 2.8 version so I can buy that as well.
If you are a pro with L's in your camera bag you might or might not like it. However if you're a serious hobbyist or working-to-be a pro then this is a good start for a fraction of the cost of an L. Its a nice lens and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Customer Review: Lens adapter and hood
Works well with my Canon Powershot S5 IS. Though I did find a seller on the net who has the metal adapter alone for a much cheaper price so ended up getting two more adapters through that site to use with my filters and lenses. Its much quicker to change out the filters and lenses by having an adapter on all of them rather than screw on a different filter or lens on one adapter to change them out.

Customer Review: great little camera
Easy to use, great pictures. Wish it came with carry case to protect it though
Customer Review: Buy one!
We recently returned from a month long trip, my wife has a Canon A540 and I was using a Sony DSC700. There is no comparison in the quality of photo's between the two cameras...we both shot several hundred photo's...the Canon photo's won hands down! So I purchased a new Canon A580 and we both love it. Plus now the the SD cards can be used in either one...Sony uses a proprietary duo-card....Canons for us from here on out.

Customer Review: Good photos crappy screen
I have had this camera for a month now. When I first opened it I didn't really like it. My first thought was that the screen was pixelly and so that made me think my photos wouldnt be that good. But my photos turn out great. A few other things I noticed was the view finder is just a small screen inside the camera that duesn't help very much. But two days in of having it I start really liking it. The photos are great and the settings are all good. I did buy this camera because I didn't want to spend much money but wanted a really good camera so this is what I found. And it works fine for me. It was also pretty easy for me to learn how to use it. So I would say its a pretty good camera.
Customer Review: Great camera at an affordable price
The Fuji S700 is an easy-to-use camera, affordable and the pictures are fantastic!
I looked at the Fuji S1000, it is a 10mp where the S700 is a 7mp and there is no comparison. The S1000 has a lag with the shutter speed and it does not have an extended viewfinder.
Having a choice of a viewfinder or a screen was important to me and since I would rather use the viewfinder, the batteries last longer.
For years I have used a 35mm film camera and had no problem switching to this great digital camera.
