Free Paper Diffuser / Mini Flash Soft-Box For S5700
Posted by Rob_Nunn under: accessories.
My mate Weejamer had a problem. He wanted to take pictures of his new baby, but the built-in flash on the Fujifilm S5700 is just too bright, so he’s designed and made a diffuser you can fit on it!
Head on over to his blog for the template, and a great video showing how to make it.
Jobs a good ‘un!

Fujifilm Finepix S5700 S700 Bridge Camera Review
Posted by Rob_Nunn under: reviews.
So I broke my arm at the end of October ‘07, so I spent a week or so in hospital for an operation, then a long time recuperating. I read a lot of magazines and visited a lot of websites, and I was quite worried that I wouldn’t really be able to do much with my arm in the long term, so I started to think about taking up Digital Photography as a hobby to replace my previous more active pass-times.
Before I purchased the S5700 I’d only ever owned one Digital Camera, a Kodak EasyShare CX4230, a 2.0 Megapixel Point and Shoot, that could take ok shots in the right conditions. I had played with Photoshop Elements (ver 2.0!) with some of the images, but never got that serious about it.
So when I started to look for a new digital camera, I didn’t really know that much about the subject, but I knew about a few features I wanted. Long battery life, using ordinary batteries, not a model-specific pack, was first on my list. Next I wanted a big optical zoom, with an eye-piece view-finder. It had to be take video with sound, have a macro mode, and a tripod mount. My budget was about £100.
