5 comments about Fujifilm Finepix F440 4.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom.

1. I bought this camera because of it balance of picture quality and small size. In its first month of use, I can definately say that this camera delivers. Advanced users will probably be frustrated at being unable to have an 'artistic license', mainly because it lacks some of the features that show up on bigger, more complex cameras like sephia tone, panoramic pics and the like. I'm confused as to Fuji's direction with this camera, though, because when I bought it the vendor said it was being phased out, and for that reason was substantially cheaper. Be careful with your memory selections too-- the mem card the Fuji uses is one of the more expensive available on the market. Thats the one thing I wish I would've taken into account before purchase. But all in all I'm very pleased.



2. I bought this camera about four months ago, and it took beautiful pictures - color quality was much better than the A310 I had previously purchased from Fuji. The small size is great, except that I couldn't find a case that fit it well. Because of this, in my purse it seems that it accidentally turned on (which happens quite easily, unfortunately), which caused the lens to push out against my rigid purse which broke the zoom. I attempted to take it to a Fuji place to get it fixed (I bought it recently enough that it should have still been covered under warranty), but they said that it would cost me over $175 to fix the camera (what was wrong apparently is not covered by the warranty)! I didn't see any warnings about this, and had I realized that this was a possibility, I would never have bought this camera.
   Summary: great camera, but watch out for it accidentally turning on in tight spaces



3. I've owned this camera for about 18 months now. I paid twice the current price, and it was worth it. The camera has performed perfectly in every situation used, and we use it alot. The battery has held up extremely well. It works as well now as when it was new. I can easily take hundereds of pics with the screen and flash on.(have 512MB XD card)
   
   Only downfalls are that occassionally the Power on/off switch doesn't respond as expected, almost as if it's confused and they're is a small 1/3 second or so delay when a picture is taken, typical of all consumer digital camera's. Also, slightly exagerated colors -not necessarily a bad thing.
   
   Video and audio quality are also good, though 1 min max per video. Biggest asset is camera size, smaller than a pack of smokes- makes it easy to take along. Truly a point and shoot camera in auto mode.
   
   Highly reccommended!



4. The F440 takes great pictures and with the 1 gig card you can shoot nearly forever. The wav. files are new to us and we're really enjoying that feature. It's size is perfect for purse or pocket. We think larger megapixel cameras are a waste of money for the average family photograghy. We rarely print anything over a 5x7. Highly recommended.



5. Sure it only has 4.1 megapixels, but with my new job, I've got money to burn, and I'm still not interested in buying a new camera. It's small, incredibly simple to use, takes great shots, and good video. It feels solid in my hand, and the cradle is a great added bonus. This is a great everyday camera to carry with you on the spur of the moment.

1. i love this camera. so far its the best digital camera i've owned. the only problem with this camera is that it eats the batteries like crazy. Its best to buy rechargable batteries so that you dont spend so much money.



2. I bought a nice used fuji a350. IT's good for the most part. Software is good to use, if you know anything about draging highlighted stuff over to a folder. It took me some time to figure it out. The camera in the first few weeks, the telescoping lense somehow got cocked out of possition, and would not slide back in. I don't know if it was bumped or jumped gear? I very carefully, examined it, and did some chriopractic bone snap and got it back in place and seems to work now. The pics turn out nice for the most part. , but can be blurry probably due to movement?. Im not happy with very close up's, but maybe there is a manual setting?? You must stay away about 18 inches for it to not be blurry. The flash I think is alittle under-power, so night shots should be with normal talking distance. The Video mode sucks. sound and video skip about every 10 seconds. Sometimes making the sound off track of the video for quick split second or cuts out. I don't know if this is normal or is my camera bad? but im figuring from my research it very well could be normal for this model. But the video does come in handy if your not worried about little skips or missing words due to audio cutting as well. I dont like the delay when you take a picture. THis is my first real dig. camera, comming from a kodak dc20 win.3.1 type. so I will know what to look for when i get a different one, but for now, I think 5mp will be fine for my picture taking. Bring extera batteries.



3. I have had this camera for about a year. It takes excellent pictures, but it does eat batteries and recently- it finally died. None of the pictures I now take come out. Sometimes they do and sometimes they have tons of thick white scratchy lines on them. This has never happened before. I always keep everything on automatic.



4. For 8 months, this camera did what it was supposed to. Then the lens would not open. Sent back to Fuji under warranty and 6 weeks later, it was fixed. No issues for another 8 months, then sometimes the lens opens and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will come into focus and sometimes it won't. This = missed photos or some blurry shots.
   It was decent while it lasted, just bought a Canon.



5. Fujifilm Finepix A350 5.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
   
   This is actually the 2nd of this basic model that I have owned. For the price I paid it takes good pics.
   
   I didn't have the blurry picture issues that some folks have complained about. I suspect a lot of them were taking pictures indoors and had turned the flash off.
   
   However, both of these have had problems with the lens sticking. The first one was an A345 and it's lens failed after about 13 months, i.e. after the warranty ran out.
   
   I bought the A350 as a replacement about a year ago because I liked the layout of the controls on the A345 and the optical viewfinder, great for action shots. I love the continuous shooting mode, if you're trying to catch a good shot of a duck coming in for a landing or taking off, or any other kind of action shot this feature works great.
   
   Now the lens is starting to stick on the A350. From the other reviews I've seen this appears to be a basic design flaw.
   
   I like to carry a camera with me all the time in case there's a photo opportunity. This camera does not appear to be rugged enough for that. I'm going to take it to work to photograph equipment and test setups as long as it holds up and probably pop about $100 more for a decent Canon to carry around.

5 comments about Fujifilm FinePix 4700 2.4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I agree with adbento for the most part.
   I bought the camera thinking the 4.3 Megapixels would be good for taking photos and then printing them on my large printer (36"). I got some pretty good shots but many were not that good and none were great.

   I had the same problem - The batteries are fine - fully charged .
   I turn on the camera and it works for a shot, then I try a manual shot and I get a "battery low" message (symbol). After a few seconds the camera shuts itself down. I do not have the LCD preview on. When I turn the camera back on it shows the battery full symbol and then a minute or so after use, it again dies after the low battery symbol.

   I believe this is inherent to the product.
   I am a light user - taking it out to a few get togethers and parties - but always taken very good care of it - cotton cloth wrapped around it and in a snug camera case - no jossling or bumping and hardly any dust or dirt. I bought 8 NiMH AA for it as it does go through them quickly.

   I did take some OK movies with it. Always good for a laugh.

   Was good for 2 years - now in the shop and soon to be replaced - bye bye $450 ($700 CDN)




2. I bought this camera because my son was just born and I wanted the ability to point, shoot and decide what pics to keep or lose later. I am now up to 1800 captures and the camera has worked wonderfully. The video grab is neat (even at half screen size) and the controls couldn't be easier. I dropped it hard once and it didn't flinch. The batteries stay charged for days and re-charge quickly. (Regular AA bateries, however, drain in about 1/2 an hour!)

   Just recently, the cover has been making a slight grating noise upon retraction. Can this be the end? Will warranty cover it? Am I to be searching for a new camera soon?

   For a quick purchase ($337 new) I am thrilled and crossing my fingers. A fantastic buy so far!




3. When I first bought this camera (2 years ago) I used the 'Auto' and
   'Portrait' settings. I found myself taking average quality pictures
   then proceeded with the manual setting and the whole perspective on
   this camera changed, all I can say is WOW.

   The camera consumes a lot of battery so make sure you are carrying
   a fast charger and at least 3 sets (2 each) of fresh batteries.

   I often have problems with the selector changing the picture mode
   from auto to manual or portrait without me turning it. I often
   lose shots while previewing them.

   Would've I buy Fuji again ? Maybe, the competition is a lot
   better than 2 years ago and unbelieveable prices ...




4. My Fuji Finepix4700 has been workink fine for 2 years but now it shows problems with the optical zoom. The error message "focus error" is deplayed in the display.



5. I had this camera for 2 or 3 years now. I got it as a gift couple of months after it was showcased. I will rate this camera according to when it was bought and according to the present time 2004.
   When Bought: Great picture quality, has many different settings from basic to fine and also different options of resolutions from 640 to 2400. The manual mode is good, it allows you to control white balance, allows for manual zoom, and changing the ISO up to 800. I mostly take pictures in this mode since the color is more true once you have adjusted these settings. I think all settings stay saved for the exception of the manual focus which you would have to reactivate everytime you turn the camera on. The video mode is great in full light yet it gives very low quality vidios if the indoor lighting is not bright.
   
   At the Present:
   I believe there are better cameras out there, yet this camera at its present price might still be attractive. The issue of focus error starting happening to me only after the camera slipped off of my hands once and landed on the ground. Eversince them I get this message everyonce in a while. The biggest disadvantage of this camera in my opinion is the speed of the shutter. It is quite slow.

5 comments about Fujifilm FinePix A600 6.3 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I have a 35 mm Nikon and love the quality of the pics. So, I was skeptical to purchase a digital camera and be dissapointed by the quality of the pictures compared to the 35mm.
   
   I was not dissappointed. This camera is easy to throw in the glove compartment/jacket pocket, etc. The quality of the pictures is great. Dowload to the software, is fast and easy (I use various softwares) and print at home.
   
   I have enlarged pictures to a 8x10 and had no pixelated pics.
   
   The colors are sharp and the Super ccd has a lot to do with it, the mega pixels does not determine the quality of the picture.
   
   I use rechargeable batteries and always carry a charged spare. It does eat up the batteries quickly, but with rechargeables around, it is not a problem.
   
   I shoot a lot of pictures and this has been extremely easy to use and download. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the battery issue, but I could give it 5 because even and 8 yr old could use it.
   
   The learning curve is intuitive is you don't want to use the manual.
   Firmware upgrade found easily on Fuji's website.



2. I can't say enough good things about this camera!!! I had a Fujifilm finepix 2650, but on the 28th of May, the last day of my vacation I dropped it taking what was going to be the last picture before we headed home, after that I couldn't get the lens to focus, so the hunt was on for a new one, I knew I wanted a Fuji because I really liked my 2650, but I couldn't find that model; except one's that were refurbished and I didn't want to go that route. I looked at this camera and it had everything I was looking for and more. I'm very happy with my purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one or maybe two, especially from this seller, excellent service and fast delivery. It takes beautiful pictures, it's very easy to navigate, and I love the fact that there's sound on the video clips, that's something the 2650 did not have. I haven't been able to put this thing down. Thank you Amazon and buyers_store excellent service as always. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is in the market for a new camera.

3. Good camera. Got it for my daughter. No viewfinder just the digital screen and lens. 6.3 megapixel with 3X optical zoom and pretty good resolution and color for under $100 refurbished. I rarely like to buy refurbished goods but I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the cameras held up. My daughter is looking forward to using the camera for the holidays coming up. She took some nice pictures on halloween.



4. The camera is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. Fuji has the worst customer service I have ever delt with. They pass you from one person to another and do everything they can not to help you. Be prepared to deal with the worst customer service in the business. I really hope this helps you.



5. This camera was everything I could ask for. Great color, quality, and all the pictures could be blown up easily with clear resolution. Then, after about a year,it started flashing "ZOOM ERROR" and won't take pictures anymore. Since this camera is only backed by a one year warrenty, I'm going to have to pay an extra $60 to get it fixed. I am sick of products being made to not last. I don't recommend this product.

2. LOOK AT IT! It's GORgeous. I'm surprised Fuji doesn't have Paris Hilton modeling with it. Its unique design and the beauty of it is certainly undeniable... oh, and in case you're measuring and trying to compare and figure out how small/big this camera is.. let me clear that up; yes, it's tiny. It really is tiny. One thing I like about it, though, is that even though it's very compact, it's not overly light. (I never worry about dropping it..... I do get scared when other people touch it though... -haha)
   
   What's there NOT to like about it? I can't decide whether to keep this camera because of the fact that it's so fantastic looking and I really don't think I'll find anything better as far as design... or sell it and buy something maybe a bit bigger and for sure less "cool"-looking in sacrifice for CLEAR pictures, EVERY time.
   
   What this camera will often leave you with if you're taking pictures of anything with the slightest bit of motion is about 10 pictures that are far too blurry, 3 pictures that are blurry but you really want to kill yourself because they were/would've been *perfect* (and at about this moment you're cursing Fuji with all you've got), and 2 pictures that are clear but YOU screwed up the picture by getting half your ear cut off or accidentally snapping the picture when Laura had her finger up her nose. Damnit. That sucks.
   
   It all depends on what you're taking pictures of. Never take this to any kind of event that's very important to you and monumental and you want pictures for... ever... because that's when it'll fail you; trust me. I took it to a graduation and first I thought it was only the lighting, so I turned the flash off, then it was making things blurry so I turned it back on and changed settings.. and it was still making things blurry. I didn't get one clear shot of that whole event. Let's just say it pissed me off and that's when I'd realized I'd had about enough.
   
   I take pictures of me and my girl friends all the time for profile shots and things... we're just playing around.. we have all the time in the world to get the right pose. I never have problems then because we're HOLDING VERY STILL... but taking this camera to events, you know, where people MOVE; "just say 'no'".
   
   I did take this to a winter formal and got very clear, crisp pictures that I blew-up into 5"x7" and they turned out amazingly well so I was pleased with my F450 then, however I can't stress this enough; digital cameras anymore are all about convenience. It's not convenient to have to ask a stranger if they can "start over" and give the same reaction they did the FIRST time your friend yelled "LOOK AT MY POOPY UNDIES!" at them... no, because... that just doesn't work.
   
   ALSO price doesn't always represent quality, okay? Oh, and neither does mega-pixels, like someone else noted. Honestly, I preferred my Sony 3.2mp over this one. "If I could tuuuuurn back tiiiime...". ((Aw, but don't think I'm saying Sony's are all somethin' great!!!!!! Don't buy T-ANYTHING! They're all really bad. Read reviews. **Some** reviews are your friend, so read many.]



3. I owned it and loved it, but after only a year and a half of careful and light use, the lens got stuck out. My boss also purchased one and after only ONE year of use, her lens got stuck out too! Make sure that you fill out the warranty card so your can get repaired' we didn't and now we have no camara and we're $200 down.
   I tried to contact Fuji to no avail, I waited on the phone for 15 minutes and I never got a human being on the Tecnical Support and Repair line.
   Despite the poor life span of the product and the awful costumer service from Fuji, I really loved the camera, it was compact, stylish, easy to handle and to understand, great pic quality and easy to install software, I loved the video feature(although the DVD maker never work quite right, big LCD screen, great battery life... I really miss my camera.



4. i baught this camera about a year ago and i takes good pictures.. and is easy to upload, hower the zoom has broken 4 times, and my camera has had to be sent in to be repaired, it can take many months for this repair, and my camera has been replaced, but the zoom just broke again yesterday, and this time i plan on buying a new camera.



5. I'm fulfilling a [forgotten] promise I made to myself to write a comment on this fine product, after I bought it two years ago for $180, a refurbished price I think. It's a great camera, or should I say it Was a great camera since I lost it, stolen but that's another story.
   
   This is a great camera to carry around for snaps, fits easily in the pocket, and makes good videos, up to three minutes long which can then be stitched together on the computer to make a longer movie. I found it to be rugged and forgiving of abuse [it became the house-camera used by an 18 year old knucklehead] and yes the lens did stick but I just shoved it back in [luckily?] and it worked fine. And the pictures, great, or to be honest one out of five or so was great; and looking back on the rest of them they are precious because they record moments that otherwise would be lost!
   
   I'm in the search now for a new camera and I will be pleased if it works as well as this one did.

5 comments about Fujifilm FinePix 2800 2MP Digital Camera w/ 6x Optical Zoom.

1. this is a very very good camera. it's great zoom is very very useful. Voice commenting is also a great feature. Good quality pictures and movies also make this camera great. I will soon get a link and i think the webcam function will great. There is only four problems.
   1. In low light the screens are black, in general you can guess but it still is annoying
   2. There is no mode for capturing action, which makes it blurry
   3. Similar to problem two, the camera has quite a delay before a picture is taken.
   4. This problem hasn't happened to my camera but it has happened to others, zoom error. It makes me kind of nervous it will happen to mine.
   In general if you want a cheap camera with good picures, good zoom, and some cool functions this is for you. But if you want to take a lot of action pictures or night pictures check out another camera.



2. I have had the infamous Zoom Error. This is a major flaw and my camera does not work anymore.
   
   Do not think I will buy another fuji for this reason unless the customer service really helps me out. I doubt that will happen based on the other posts.



3. I picked out this camera quite awhile ago to be my christmas present from my parents. From the get go I disliked the way it handled. It works well, as any camera can with lots of light on still objects. But that is no feat because white balance and lag time are inconsequential with something that has all day. This camera sucked for any type of candid shooting. The time between pressing the button and getting a picture was long enough to ensure that any desired facial expression or pose was either completely altered or not even in the frame. Also, in low levels of light, taking a photo was mere guesswork because the screen would be completely black. For a vast majority of the shots the flash had to be enabled because otherwise the photos would be extremely blurry. The problem however, is that flash makes harsh unnatural ugly color composition photos. Basically I hated it. I bought myself an Olympus Stylus 710 recently and love it dearly. That is a camera that can preform in a variety of differnt situations and lights.



4. This is indeed a wonderful camera. I have had mine now 3 years and it is still going strong. I have even decided to stay in the Fuji Line and get the S9100 which comes out this month. So when I have the money, I will be one click away form another great camera. My Dad has a Nikon and it is a 4MP and the Fuji takes way better pictures, quality and all. The only down fall on the camera, is taking photos in low light situations, it is difficult to see what you want to capture, but when you snap and look at it, wow, it is a whole new world, the photo is clear, crisp and so bright. I have taken wedding photos and get some great close up shots with the zoom, so much so the bride and groom are usually amazed with the quality and how great the Zoom works. Because if how amazed people usually are with the shots, I have started to give photos on a CD as a wedding gift, and guess what, it is a hit, everyone loves it, and I at times capture what the photographer that they hired missed. Also with this little beast of a camera, persons have asked me to take photos and they will pay me, yes for this 2 MP camera. Macros work great for the close ups and the flash is excellent. If you buy this camera, you will be quickly amazed at how great it is and is worth every penny.



5. THIS FUJI FINEPIX 2800 2MP ALLOWED ME TO CAPTURE SOME VERY VIVID PICTURES. THIS CAMERA HAS THE CLEARITY OF A HOT HUMID DAY IN JUNE. THE BRIGHTNESS,SHAPNESS,QUICKNESS OF THIS CAMERA IS UNBELIEVEABLE. AND ITS LIGHT-WEIGHT. BEST CAMERA. MAY I TAKE YOUR PIC? LOL

5 comments about Fujifilm Finepix A500 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

1. I owned this camera for a bout 8 months and took very good pictures. Than out of the blue I got a focusing error and the lens would not detract. The product is out of warranty and would cost too much to repair. I will never buy this product again.



2. The camera is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. Fuji has the worst customer service I have ever delt with. They pass you from one person to another and do everything they can not to help you. Be prepared to deal with the worst customer service in the business. I really hope this helps you.



3. I used this several times, took about 50 pictures with camera, I was disappointed.
   Compare to my old Fugi A201(2 mega pixel), this A500 does not have good color; it may have better resoltion but the color on photo are not as good as A202.
   When I checked the spec on those 2 camera side by side, A201 has RGB filter on CCD while A500 ihas just high resolution CCD.
   Anyway, A500 is disappointment.



4. This is an upgrade to the last Fuji & still have & after using Fuji its no wonder I & Others Love them!!.. They are easy to use & work so well taking excellent pictures!! !



5. This is my second Fuji Digital Camera. The first one failed with a "ZOOM ERROR" after only a few months of average use. The camera was useless. I returned it to the place of purchase, and of course the model is no longer in production. After an argument with the store manager, they allowed me to trade up to the newer model, charging only the difference.
   
   Well After about a year of average use, I got the exact same "ZOOM ERROR" message on the newer model. I do not want to pay $250 every two years for a camera, so this will be my last FUJI purchase. When I spend money, I expect reliability, and FUJI misses the mark!

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.

1. i've had this camera for little over half a year now, and i love it! i've been an on-and-off amateur photographer for about 5 years now, and this is my third camera, first digital. To those who complain about the "flimsy" chassis, i suggest you walk around with a solid, magnesium-cased samsung in your backpack for an afternoon. i guarantee that you and your lower back will appreciate the light plastic shell. and to those who complain about the battery life, BUY A PAIR OF RECHARGABLE BATTERIES! or better yet, buy two pairs; you'll still save money! overall, when paired with photoshop, this camera makes for one heck of a camera. i should know--it's picture quality and convience is the envy of all my friends who're stuck with 35mms!
   ::By the way, i forgot to mention the price, which is bargain-basement for such picture quality!::



2. This is my first digital camra. I use it specifically to photograph 2- dimensional and 3- dimensional art work. I have been very pleased with the quality of the photos. I also use it to photograph landscapes, although that is not the primary purpose of the camera for me. I have also been satisfied with it in that way. Sometimes I have had "spots" when photographing outside, but I think this is related to the light source. I am very pleased.



3. The A201 is very Good camera and I bought it with my own money( I am eight years old). It has satisfied me very well with its price. I am impressed with the quality and I would recomend it to anyone shopping for an entry-level good-quality bash-around camera. I have sent many e-mails using the easy-to-use FinePix Software that comes in the box with the USB (universal serial bus) connector. The software comes with automatic procedures such as saving in the "My Pictures" Folder that comes with every computer. The software comes with the Update and delteable folder called "100_fugi". The only dis is that the camera for some reason makes the target father than the Human eyebut other than that the camera is very good and toped my expectations. At first I thought of buying the Canon Powershot but the store manager at [a local store] gave me a better deal, the A201.



4. I bought this camera in march and by day 2 while turning it broke.... I had a whole problem with it.I dont recommend it when you have children because its really flimsy..... DONT BUY IT.



5. Nice, basic camera for a newbie or kid to get started with. These are no longer made, but there are still some new ones & plenty of used ones floating around out there.
   
   BEWARE: Uses obsolete SmartMedia memory cards, which are difficult to find (unless you order online). Yet for all these cards' obsolesence,their prices haven't come down.
   
   Don't pay more than $50 for a new A201, and make sure its memory card contains at least 16 MB of memory. That should allow one to get about 50 pictures out of it when it's @ default settings.
   
   Disadvantages: no zoom function; steep learning curve if one has never used a digital camera before; must use rechargable batteries unless you want to spend a fortune on regular AA batteries; time it takes to green-light between shots is long -- not good if you're taking action shots.

5 comments about Fujifilm Finepix V10 5.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Orange).

1. I was just about ready to buy the Canon SD1000 to replace my Pentax Optio 43WR. (I would have bought another WR if Pentax still made one like it) but found the V10 at Ritz Camera for $99. Wow! This is a fine camera anyway but for this price, it's a steal. The last Fuji I owned was a 40i and I'm a fan of the Super CCD. The 3 inch LCD closes the deal, especially for us over 50 guys who need reading glasses. Spare batteries are cheap and the camera is very easy to use. The picture quality is good and 5 megapixels is more than I need.



2. Very good camera, takes excellent quality pictures. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. The only thing is they could've included a bigger memory card with it, but new one's aren't that expensive.



3. My son had it for about 15 mo. He's in the UK. The camera lens fails. When he gets back in 2 mo. we'll see if it can get fixed for less than it is worth. Warranty expires and the camera dies. Not what i would call a great product.
   
   Truly unhappy.



4. Fujifilm Finepix V10 5.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gun Metal Grey) What a GREAT camera!! Have had for about a year and a half and highly recomend it. Be sure to get a least a 1 gig card for it. On a good setting will hold almost 500 pics, and on a lesser setting close to 1,000.
   Features I really like:rechargeable battery, compact, easy to use settings, only takes a few seconds to crop a pic, zoom, and extra large display.
   I have had so many compliments on this camera from people who some have spent 3 times as much on their camera. Great value, great camera.



5. This camera works the best from all the cameras we've had. This camera was dropped, thrown, drooled on anything you can think of. So we didn't take care of the camera very well, but it worked great! Very good quality images fun games and very easy to use. The only problem was that if you connected it to you PC to download pictures, and disconnected it. It would give you an error, and the only way to fix it was by connecting and disconnecting the camera again. The battery in this camera is great!! We used it for at least a week non-stop and the camera's bettery lasted for that period of time. Buy this camera you won't regret it!
