Great for the money! [Posted on 2003-08-18]
This is a great little camera. It's very small and portable, it's easy to use, and it takes a pretty good picture. What it lacks in fancy functions it makes up for in its fun, simple form. I'm not a professional photographer so I don't care what the "f-stop" is doing, I just want to be able to take pictures of stuff and look at them on my PC. The software is pretty good, and pretty easy to install or uninstall. I used it on Windows Millennium with surprising success, but Windows 2000 seems to detect when the camera is connected to the USB cable more reliably. As far as the functionality of the FinePix software, it's pretty basic, but once again, I don't think I'll be doing a lot of editing; most of the pictures turn out looking pretty good to me. The memory that comes with the camera is pretty wimpy; you can get a 128MB card very reasonably and have tons of room for jpegs and mpegs. Even though it's pretty easy on batteries, a stock of rechargeables is a good idea.
Eh. So-so. [Posted on 2003-10-06]
It takes GREAT pictures. But when the lens get dirty, the pictures show up with specks all over. And it normally has from 12-20 pictures you can store with the default memory card. It eats the batteries after about 10 pictures, with any batteries, I've tried almost all the brands. I recommend getting an A/C adapter.
Still a good camera... [Posted on 2004-01-04]
I've had this camera for a couple years now, and I'm still quite pleased with it. At it's prime, it was one of the smallest cameras around. However, that size does come with a price. IE, lack of features. There is no zoom(only 2x digital, and can only be used in VGA mode) fixed focus, and very few manual settings. However, the camera still is quite good. Pictures are pretty good. If you have ample light, they are wonderful. If it's dim, you get yellowish colors. This can usally be somewhat corrected with software. The one major problem i've had with mine is the selector swith is giving out. Many times as I'm composing a shot, it'll flip back to preview mode. People might also have problems finding cards now of days, as it uses Smart Media cards(NOT Smart Digital) All in all, a great point and shoot camera. Great if you don't have time to fiddle with focusing and such...
$100 Very Well Spent [Posted on 2004-08-31]
I LOVE this camera! I have owned it for almost 2 years now and use it all the time. Last Christmas I thought I wanted to upgrade so I bought a 3 megapixel Kodak camera and ended up returning it because it wasn't as good as my 1.3 megapixel Fuji. This camera takes wonderful macro pictures which is essential if you sell online, the Kodak took lousy macro pictures. The Kodak also did this weird double flash thing so when I tried to take pictures of my cats I always got them with their eyes closed. I have no trouble at all with my Fuji. One flash and you've got the picture. I tell you, If I ever did decide to upgrade it would definitely be a Fuji.
The pictures from this camera are fabulous! I use it for e-mail pictures, prints, and online auction pictures. It's great for all of those. When I got my camera I had in mind to mostly use it for auction pictures but it turned out to be even more useful than that. I take tons of pictures of friends, family, and my pets. Then I e-mail pictures to those friends and family. I also make prints (sometimes through an online / store service sometimes at home with the printer) for scrapbboking and they very good. I will admit that if you look really close they aren't as good as prints from a film camera, but I find the convenience of the digital worth it.
All in all, if you only have about $100 to spend on a digital camera I HIGHLY reccomend this one!!!
Ok Camera. [Posted on 2005-05-29]
The camera is ok. But not that good. It takes good pictures some of the time, but alot of the time you have to go back and take pictures over because the quality isnt what you would expect. Not enough zoom. Eats up batteries like you wouldnt believe!! I would suggest adding a little bit of money and getting a better camera. Fujifilm is not the best brand to go with. I have this camera and are currently trying to sell it. The very thin 5MP sony cybershot camera is what I am aiming to buy. It's has amazing quality pictures, but it is not cheap. It is by far better than the Fujifilm!!
