Fujifilm finepix -the best of the bunch?

[jonny pallisey]

im looking for opinions/info on which of these old finepix is the golden goose ? i recently stepped up from using a Canon A460 to a finepix s2000hd and im so pleased i did ,cannot fault it.Dirt cheap on ebay too-however i noticed theres so many finepixes im wondering was there a particular model that took clearer still images better than the rest ? im just taking images for etsy/ebay of art from about 6ft distance all taken outdoors in good light.Appreciate any info -even if there was no golden goose id like to know.Thanks all!

I would say one of the HS EXR models or the X-S1.

I know this is a zombie thread, but if anyone in the future searches on Finepix cameras this thread will pop up so I'll respond:

If you really want to stay in that range, go as upscale as you can. I own a Finepix S4200 and an S4500 and have posted images from both here. If memory serves me correctly, the FinePix S1 was the best of the bunch. I have two issues with mine, though: They both lack a diopter adjustment and neither has a manual focus, so you're really at the mercy of the autofocus and whatever it decided was what you're trying to focus on.

This was taken with the S4200

And this was taken with the S4500
