Summary: Fuji 4700
Review: I bought my Fuji 4700 in 1999. I've have had about 4 digital cameras and was not really happy with any of them. I debated quiet a while before I spent $$$ for A camera. I finally bought the Fuji. It only took me about 2 days to learn everything the camera could do. The instructions were so simple and explained well enough a 6 yr old could understand them and learn to use the camera.I've had the camera for 2 yrs now and nothing on the market can compare with it. I have A 64MB Memory card in it and can take 996 pictures in the basic mode and 362 pictures in the fine mode. I dare any Professional Developer to print a better 8x10 picture than my fuji takes. I don't think I will ever need a updated camera.

Summary: Fuji 4700
Review: Nice camera that takes very good pictures. The sensor needs very good lighting to take the best (sharpest) images. The images taken inside with the flash are not as good as the pictures taken with good natural outside lighting.

Summary: (Excellent) big bang for the bucks
Review: Read the manual and it gets easy as pie to take fantastic photos. I recomend monster ni-mh batteries at 1800 mh they work great in this very power hungry digital. This is my 2nd digital and it is so much better it is unbelieveable, although I learned alot about light capabilities compared to film with the low res digital. My pics turn out great even on my old lazer printer a photo printer might be better but I am very satisfied with what I got. The high res mode is great very clear and clean, it makes touch ups and special effects a breeze. Extra mem cards and batteries are a must. Anyone with any photo experience will find this a dream come true.

Summary: Its a great camera!
Review: I love the fuji finepix 4700 zoom. It takes great pictures, and is really small, but there are a few weaknesses. 1.No manual focus ring/you have to use buttons/hard 2.No shutter/apurture priority mode 3.A little hard to hold/finger gets in the way of lens 4.Zoom buttons to close to veifinder/fingers get in the way of your eyes 5.No 1600X1200 mode

Other than that-this camera has everything- Great resolution 2.4 mp-4.3mp interpolated Great software easy-instant usb-pictures are sent to computer automatically in 3 seconds-thats all! Flash modes Compression modes up to 1/2000 of a second shutter.

Summary: I have had no regrets about buying this camera
Review: I shopped around for my first digital camera (also looking at Canon and Olympus models) with the following primary criteria: ease of portability, quality of images, and ease of use.

Firstly, this camera is a great size, making it easy to carry wherever you go. I wanted the freedom to take photos without processing delays and costs, and also the freedom to carry a camera wherever and whenever, and it has certainly been possible with the 4700z. The zoom lens retracts and is automatically covered when you turn off the camera, making a lens cap and/or strap completely unnecessary. The flash also pops down when not in use.

The quality of the photos produced by the 4700z is exceptional. You will immediately notice (especially on a nice day outside) the vibrant colours and clarity. I have had success with the macro mode and the optical zoom also (remember not to factor digital zoom into your purchasing decision with *any* camera).

The camera is also very easy to use. You can hand the camera to someone, point out a few buttons (mostly zoom and save/discard), and they'll have no problem in taking a great photo.

Buy an extra storage card or two (I have 2 32's and the 16 which came with the camera), and take both sets of batteries when you go out for the day. When taking photos at sporting events, try to get closer to the action rather than relying on the zoom - when you zoom, you accentuate player movement, and also your own movement. Also, try using it with a tripod - I've taken some good photos during the day or at night with a tripod.

Finally, the two problems I've discovered in 6 months with the camera have done nothing to put me off it. I would happily make the purchase again if given the opportunity. The two problems have been: left-most button around the secondary LCD requires more force to push than the others; and the flash often needs a nudge to pop it up. Both pretty minor issues.

Summary: AWESOME CAMERA/// AWESOME PHOTO QUALITY
Review: purchased camera about two weeks ago and have not been able to put it down, even in 2400x1200 basic my photos are as good as my cannon 35mm. i also reccomend buying a 64mg smartcard. at my setting i can fit 168 pics. i print on the hp 930c printer with hp premium gloss photo paper and only the experts can tell that i developed my own pictures. this camera is head over heals over the fugi 40i. although it does not have an mp3 player, the settings on this camera are professional (portrait, distance, night scenes). do yourself a favor and pick up one of these cameras today. i have tried them all and this is tops.

Summary: Two thumbs up! (as Siskel and Ebert would have said)...
Review: I'd used a 35 mm for years, and was resisting purchasing a digital camera until I found one that could provide the same flexibility and creativity of manual control, as well as the ease of automatic control, and provide for high-quality blow up prints. This camera is it, and at the price I paid at Amazon.com, do not feel I could have made a better choice for the money.

The 3x optical zoom is a breeze, and the digital zoom is icing on the cake. The instructions are clear and concise both for camera operation AND for syncing with a PC and using the software. Whether your version of Windows will find the right driver automatically, or if you have to step in to the gap and do it manually, set up takes minutes, and you're ready to snap, focus, shoot, sync.

I recommend it! ...

Summary: Absolutely happy ...
Review: I have been analog photography enthusiast for over 20 years. I shoot about 50 rolls of film per year and my regular equipment includes top of the line Nikon's and Canon's cameras and lenses. So my expectations of picture quality from a digital camera were pretty high before I bought the Fuji 4700. My decision to buy Fuji was based on high resolution spec of 4.3 Megapixels. I was very pleasantly surprised with Fuji 4700. Everything I was looking for in terms of camera's feature and capabilities is there and more. The greatest surprise came however when I printed my first photos. I have a relatively inexpensive Canon Photo Printer BJC-8200. Unless you look real close (like 10 inches or closer) the quality of 8x10 prints is virtually indistinguishable from analogs. I found out that the key to great picture quality is to use high quality glossy paper -- I use the same paper that came with the Canon printer (I think it is made or marketed by Canon). I had mixed results with other brands although I am sure there must be some brands that are equaly good or even better. Bottom line, I love Fuji 4700. It is fun to use and gives great results. If I had to improve one thing it would be the curved handle on the front of the camera--it does not feel 100% comfortable but given everythinhg else, it is a minor inconvenience. I guess Fuji recognized that and fixed it in the 4800 model.

Summary: My Husband is happy with it.
Review: I bought this camera for my Husband after doing some research here on the net. I don't know anything about digital camera's so I had to rely on what I read here at amazon. I made a good choice with the Fuji 4700. My Husband loves it. He carries it with him all the time since it's so small and compact. The pictures that he has taken are awesome, and when he prints them out people can't believe it's from a digital camera. Thanks to amazon for the info. and the good price.

Summary: focus problem
Review: You can use auto focus or manual focus, however, make sure your subject remains still for either. The manual focus requires pushing buttons rather than rotating a lens like standard cameras. It is difficult to do.

The auto focus feature consists of two steps. You line the subject in the center of the viewfinder and press the shutter button halfway. It sets the focus and then you can click the button fully to record the image. The problem I had with it is that by the time the camera "set" the focus, my subject (a 10 month old) was in the next room. Neither focus feature is good for anything more than still photography.
