Has anyone used the Fujifilm J250 camera?

I am looking for a excellent compact digital camera under $ 300, that is especially strong in the areas of low light and movement shots. I’ve been researching Fujifilm and have seen this new model, but can’t find any reviews on it. Has anyone used it who can provide feedback?

96th Street subway, upscale side, Oct 2009 – 25

***************************************

The streets were wet when I got up this morning, and the weather forecast called for rain throughout the day. As it turned out, the forecasters were incorrect; but not wanting to expose my digital camera to a the makings downpour, I chose to spend my half-hour of free time, during my lunch-break, down in the community subway station, where I knew I may maybe stay dry. It was also my second opportunity to try out the combination of a new 70-300mm VR full-frame zoom lens with the high-ISO capability of my Nikon D700 full-frame camera. So I set the ISO meter to 6400 (yeah, yeah, I know that the newly-announced Nikon D3X can go all the way up to ISO 110,000 — but 6,400 is still a pretty awesome to me), found a silent bench on the downtown side of the 96th Street IRT line (as different to last week’s adventure on the upscale side), and sat patiently to see what would happen across the tracks, on the upscale side…

For the first 15 minutes, I didn’t see anything at all worth photographing. But then, small by small, fascinating public started shuffle past, or sit for a few moments on the wooden bench across the tracks. Or maybe they were there all along, and maybe it just took me a while to get "in the zone" and start to be grateful for why they were fascinating and photogenic. I got a consistent sense of solitude, isolation, wistfulness and even loneliness in today’s collection of subjects; maybe the gloomy weather up above made them all pensive, or maybe they were just tired at the end of a long work-week. Or maybe they just had a lot on their minds, what with the economy and the swine flu and all of life’s additional frustrations and disappointments. Whatever the reason, there were only one or two cases where I saw public laughing, smiling, or chatting cheerfully with one another.

I also took a couple of shots of public inside a subway car — sometimes through the window of the upscale train on the additional side of the track, and occasionally of the downtown train when it stopped right in front of me (temporarily blocking my view of the activity across the track). In one case, the subway door opened right in front of me, and a young woman stared vacantly in my general direction while innumerable additional passengers wandered into, and out of, innumerable subway cars. I pointed my camera in her general direction while I sat on the wooden bench, opened up the zoom as far as I may maybe — i.e., 70mm — meant it in her direction, and pushed the shutter button. With a wide-angle lens, this kind of "hip shot" often works reasonably well, even if I have to do a lot of cropping; but it was sheer luck that I got the woman framed nearly perfectly with the 70mm background on the long-telephoto I was using today.

As with the last subway group that I shot at ISO 6400, there’s a small bit of noise/graininess in these images — but I chose to place them that way. I did exchange the "hot spots" (areas over-exposed from the fluorescent lighting in the subway station) and "cold spots" (shadows and dark areas), and punched up the color a small bit. But up your sleeve from that, this is yet another view of the typical daytime scene on a typical NYC subway line…

*******************

Over the years, I’ve seen innumerable photos of the NYC subway "scene," usually in black-and-white format. But during a recent class on street photography at the NYC International Center of Photography (ICP), I saw lots and lots of terrific subway shots taken by my fellow generation … so I was inspired to start taking a few for myself.

So far, I’m taking photos in color; I don’t feel any need to make the scene look darker and grimier than it already is. To avoid disruption, and to avoid drawing attention to for myself, I’m not using flash shots; but because of the relatively low level of lighting, I’m generally using an ISO background of 800 or 1600 — except for my most recent photos with my new D700, which are all shot at ISO 6400.

I may ultimately use a small "pocket" digital camera, but the initial photos have been taken with my somewhat large, bulky Nikon D300 DSLR; and today’s were taken with an even bulkier Nikon D700. If I’m photographing public on the additional side of the tracks in a subway station, there’s no conundrum holding up the camera, composing the shot, and taking it in full view of everyone — indeed, hardly anyone pays attention to what’s going on across the tracks, and most public are lost in their own small world, reading a book or listening to music. But if I’m taking photos inside a subway car, I normally set the camera lens to a wide angle (18mm) background, point it in the general direction of the subject(s), and shoot without framing or composing.

So far it seems to be working … we’ll see how it goes…
