1. I have read in some of these other reviews about the delay in taking pictures. There seems to be an easy way around this that I have found takes away this one issue in this otherwise nearly perfect product. When you are about to take a picture simply depress the shutter button part way. Do not press it all of the way down so that it takes a picture, just part way. This will prime the camera and you will be able to take a picture instantly when you want.



2. I hae owned this camera for about a year and have taken some great shots with it. It is good basic a point and shoot vacation camera.
   
   What I like:
   -Small size and solid construction, except for the on/off switch
   -Good quality output/pictures for the most part
   -Good battery life and multiple card options (SD and Memory stick, although I only use one)
   
   What I don't like:
   -Switch on cover that slides back and forth to both turn off and on as well as protect lense is now broken and renders the camera unusable
   -Poor low light capability and performance
   -Poor lcd quality and small size
   -Poor movie mode that only caputes 320X240 movies
   -Menus are confusing and not useful
   
   Would I buy again? I would not buy given what I know about the camera and the other better options out there right now.



3. this thing is okay, i love the camera don't get me wrong, but it's minolta that has me scared, i used to love them, until i experienced the reliability first, and then when i had to deal with the slow and unsteady service team, it was terrible, all my other minolta products turned out to be crap. i'm not telling you which brand i switched to because they all seem to be pretty good, except minolta. if you want more details send me an email, im sure it's on my amazon profile or something.



4. This camera works beautifully. It is very simple to use. Close up images are clear and without glare; the red eye reduction works well, too. Nice!



5. I love this camera. The Minolta Diamge G500 was my first digital camera and it was used and abused. However, it still works today. The camera has more weight than most newer digital cameras but us still compact. It doesn't feel like cheap plastic. Since owning this camers I have purchased a Fuji S700 and a S3IS, none of these have ever taken the quality photos that come from my Dimage. Nor do they stand up to the durability of the Diamge. I have dropped it on an ice skating rink, cement, and it was used weekly for ebay pics. My dimage is still kicking and taking better photos than my fuji and canon. On top of all this, this camera has a very easy to use menu and can be used to just point and shoot. I know it is very functional and durable with great photos.

5 comments about Fujifilm FinePix 2650 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I had this camera back in 2003, it takes great photos. I dropped it into the sand, and we all know what sand does to cameras. I now have an Olympus E-300 dSLR, and a film SLR, but I wanted a small, but not too expensive, camera for my purse. I bought just bought another 2650 for a few bucks, refurbished by Fuji, which shows you how much I think of the image quality. For those people who are saying the image quality is not good, you really don't know what you are doing. The image quality produced a perfect 5x7 and a good 8x10. It is sharp, colors a fuji fine and at these prices now, why not get a cheapy and carry it around with you. If it gets stolen, you will not worry too much about it. Again I will say, this is a great little camera.



2. This was the first digital camera that I owned and I got it for Christmas a couple of years ago and at first it was nice because I didn't know any better.
   
   The camera is very wide. I personally like the slim cameras. The time it takes between pictures is WAY too long! Then the screen turns black if you wait too long to take the picture so you have to hit a button to turn the screen back on and that takes another 3 seconds. The zoom feature sometimes doesn't want to close. Also the batteries come out easily because they aren't very secure. I've taken very good care of this camera. I only dropped the camera one time and now I hear a noice when I shake the camera like something is lose inside. The screen now turns black and won't take any pictures.
   
   There are better options out there.



3. I purchased this item as a Christmas gift and never received it. The seller claims he sent it, but the item never got to the birthday person leaving me in an embarrassing situation.



4. I order this Item , and I discovered it's broken. I contact the seller and return my money back.



5. For the first camera that I've taken to shows, this little guy performed surprisingly well.
   
   For being so bulky with lackluster zoom (thank goodness I was in the front row for all 4 concerts in a row for Flaming Lips last fall), I surprised myself with the nice quality of the shots I got.
   
   I even took some nice ones from pretty far back @ Better than Ezra at the Wildflower Fest 07.
   
   The time it takes for this to power up is what really got on my nerves: I actually MET the Flaming Lips twice while we followed them around in the Fall and both times I was heckled by the band (in a nice way of course -- best bunch of guys you could ever meet) due to the elderliness of my camera and how we had to stand around for so long waiting for the thing to turn on.
   
   The key with this little one is either BRIGHT light and slow situations or shoot a BILLION pictures to assure the fact that you will get some good ones (I would get about 200 good ones out of 400 and so on).
   
   I upgraded to the Finepix s700 6 months ago and I've already outgrown that, but for just quick point n shoot spur of the moment type things, this camera would probably do the trick.

5 comments about Olympus Camedia C-720 3MP Digital Camera w/ 8x Optical Zoom.

1. I purchased this camera 18 months ago from Best Buy (sorry Amazon, I didn't have my account yet). My first digital camera. With accessories and the price of the camera at the time (they are now selling for half??) we spent $600.00. From the start the camera on Auto and Sport settings produced pictures that were blurry and out of focus about 1/3 of the time. Best Buy and Olympus had me convinced, being new to digital cameras, that I was the problem and that I might have been better served with a more basic camera (really?). The camera has since been back for repair with Best Buy once already under their extra four year warranty (5 week turn around, I plan to use a $100 Kodak digital I carry on my motorcyle in the meantime) and is going to go back again as the problem is now worse. When it comes back the next two times I will take it out of the box, have them take a blurry, out of focus shot of me and hand it right back to them. After the first "repair" Best Buy did not report that anything was found in need of repair only that the camera was recalibrated. I expect that there is nothing to fix as the camera is fundamentally flawed. The shutter speeds at Auto and Sport settings are just too slow. Three "repair" tries with Best Buy and we get our money or credit back. Olympus now tells me, after their warranty has expired, to go to the manual settings and increase the shutter speed and shoot in the manual mode. In other words that their camera shutter speed at Auto and even Sport mode will continue to be slow (and ruin pictures). By this time I had already figured this out despite their condescending advice that I probably should not have such a complicated camera! I have read similar reviews re: this particular camera with these problems at several other consumer sites. Check it out for yourself. Stay away from the Olympus C series. Interesting that they are currently not available from Amazon(things that make you go hmmmm)??!! I am staying away from Olympus all together. Customer service is a run around with a product they are unwilling to recognize as defective. Customers experiencing problems with these cameras (it seems from other reviews that not all are troublesome) should be offered a replacement or a trade toward something that works (maybe something simpler for those of us thought of as digitally challenged). We are extremely disappointed. Wake up Olympus. Time to cut the manure and reach out to make this right with your customers. I would love to retract this review.



2. We purchased a C-720 in 2003 and are very pleased with it.
   
   With proper training, anyone can take awesome pictures with it. There are several reviews here that criticize the camera's "slow" auto and sports settings. I've taken probably 10,000 pictures with this camera, and almost none of them were taken in either of those modes. I highly recommend using P mode for outdoor pictures, or pictures in good light, and shutter priority (S mode), with shutter speed at about 1/30 or 1/40 of a second, and the exposure compensation on +2.0, for indoor pictures. The results are great.
   
   The good things about this camera include the wonderful 8x zoom (for outdoor pictures, with shutter speeds of 1/250 second and faster, even max zoom shots come out great), the vibrant colors it captures, its wonderful work without a flash (very dramatic pictures), and the nice effect in portrait setting (in which it uses depth of field to have a sharp target and blurred background). The menus aren't that difficult to use. Battery life is great; I typically get 200-300 shots on one set of freshly charged NiMH batteries. My 128 Mb SmartMedia card holds about 200 pictures in the mode I use most often, and they're large enough to print sharply as 4x6 or 5x7, even after I crop a lot out of them.
   
   There are two things I don't like about the camera.
   
   The first is that it has a tendancy to develop "hot" or "stuck" pixels when doing a lot of shooting in low-light situations. Pixel mapping (a built-in pixel repair function) fixes this, but it's still really jarring to see ugly red and green pixels in the viewfinder and LCD and images when this happens.
   
   The second is a quirk with my camera, and, from what I've read, lots of Olympus cameras. The C-720 uses a capacitor to "remember" the date and time, even with no batteries in the camera. There is something wrong with the capacitor in the C-720 I own. The connection to the batteries, even a freshly-charged set, breaks quite often. When that happens, the camera won't turn on until I open the battery compartment and rearrange the batteries, and then half the time, the date/time (nothing else) has been lost and needs to be reset. Because the camera cleverly uses the date to name the image files, this lost date/time is a real headache to deal with.
   
   Because of the battery/capacitor quirk, I'm docking the camera one star. I'd give it five if the date/time didn't reset way too often.
   
   As more and more people buy digital cameras, that are usually higher-end than the film cameras they once had, the learning curve associated with camera like this will decrease. To anyone who finds themselves disappointed with this camera because of blurred pictures, read my advice above and try again. Once you know what you're doing - it won't take long - you will take great pictures with the C-720.



3. I researched carefully before buying my first digital camera. Prices were still up, but had dropped enough to afford a 3 megapixel. For my purposes that is plenty. I am not sorry I went for the Olympus 720. Two years later it is still working beautifully. On auto-mode it takes great pics, automatically adjusting for low light and finding the focus quickly. The controls are well-placed. Since most of my photos are for personal or online use, I rarely use the advanced features. I only hope Olympus continues to maintain the high quality of this product. If so, I'll be faithful for life.



4. Don't waste your money...there are much better cameras out there. This camera is too big, doesn't always cooperate, and takes horrible indoor pictures. It has an eight time zoom but the more you zoom the more distorted your photo is...very disappointing.



5. To put it as simply as I can, this is the camera that I never get rid of, and brag about the photos. I am no great photographer, but with this camera I catch things that no other could come close to! Children playing in the water and it picks up even the smallest drops of water in the air! Red eye has never been an issue and the clarity is excellent. Ive had this camera for about 13 years (when my 1st child was born) and I will never give it up. Other smaller cameras come & go..but the C-720 will always be my 1st choice. Its one tough piece of technology too! Its been dropped, sat on, thrown, exposed to water & sand...notiing has killed it yet in my graveyard of cameras. I strongly recommend this daring to anyone.
