Sorry to change the subject. The OP obviously is knowledgeable, as are many posters here, so this is not directed at them. But someone out there must be a complete doofus:

There's plenty more:

$690 for the Fuji S 1500? There are about a dozen stores on gmarket selling it for insanely inflated prices.

Would someone explain this to me, please. What kind of idiot would pay this much for a cheapo camera?

The price for the Finepix S1500 in the States? $168 on Amazon:

Take a look at the second review:

The Fuji S1500 seemed to fit the bill and was a comparable price in Singapore to purchasing it here in the USA and had the zoom capabilities and other features I wanted in a compact camera.


It seems that most newer models are twice the price or more in Korea than in the States. However, old models, especially discontinued models can sometimes be about the same price as in the States, which makes it all the more puzzling.

So instead of focusing on my two questions, you decide to point out my dyslexia. Thanks man. Sorry for wasting my time reading your rant.

You are NOT welcome here.

The better way for you to avoid scammed is to ask your well know cameraman to go together with you Very Happy

Price is changing everyday, google for it, LOL, dont ask me!!


screw you buddy!! you come on this board and tell people to be careful when buying a camera. then someone asks you for some advice and you reply! " Don't ask me"!!! what the hell are you doing here????
this is a community board for teachers and other people to SHARE information! so if you please... why not answer the questions that you were asked!

1: how much did you pay in the end?
2: What is the name of the software you use to check the shutter speed..

thank you.. and welcome to the community..
god knows how long you will last here with that attitude!


If you read my post, you can find the software name:
