Summary: Wonderful Basic Camera
Review: After researching digital cameras fairly extensively, I found this camera to be the best deal. Great image quality, resolution, media format, features, and price. Similar 2.1 megapixel cameras are either too big, take lousy pictures, or are just too darn expensive.

The "digital zoom" is a bit of a joke, but no more so than the optical zoom on other cameras in it's class (such as the Canon ELPH).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Camera!
Review: I absolutely love this cam! Its small, sleek, extremely light weight & the photos turn out fabulous! Just point & shoot! Its very easy to operate. It can also be used as a web cam & can make 20 second videos! The only reason that I didnt give it 5 stars is because it doesn't come with an AC adapter & there's no fun photo software thats included...for instance photo greeting cards or calendars. :o( Also, please note that digital zoom only refers to zooming in closer on the LCD screen to view the shots you've already taken

Summary: Don't believe all those 5 star reviews
Review: I believed all these excellent reviews, bought this camera and went on long trip. What a disappointment !! The flash was not bright enough beyond 10 feet. I tried to shot a brightly-lit concert without the flash, nothing but blur. Sorry Amazon, I am returning this piece of junk. Thanks to all those 5 star reviewers. You did a good job misleading me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great camera for the price
Review: I bought this camera new ...through a camera store in New York ...
It really is quick to recover between shots. And the pictures are beautiful.
However, the software is AWFUL, bad to install, doesn't give you any choices on anything, but works, more or less, if you can get it installed. The controls on this lightweight little camera are not overly intuitive, either. And if you're using regular batteries and want preview mode on, carry a lot of spares. I've heard the rechargeables are much better, but I haven't tried them yet.
The flash is about what I would expect from a camera in this price range. It's good for pictures within about a 10 foot range.
All the negatives asides, the picture clarity and color is outstanding and I would buy the same camera again in a heartbeat. The zoom features (once you figure them out) are really remarkable for a camera in this price range. I would recommend this camera at this price to a family member or any amateur photographer who wants to take quality pictures.

Summary: Happy With Purchase
Review: I bought this camera one day before vacation on a whim. I had wanted a digital camera but had not done any investigation. I was able to use the camera after reading the quick start instructions and got some great shots I could email to friends when I returned. It was lightweight and fit into my pocket as well as my budget.I am sure I will learn more as I go along. I would recommend you get a larger Smart Card right away especially if you are going on vacation. I really like the fact that you can use regular AA batteries you can pick up anywhere. I sometimes had trouble reading the screen but think it was just the glare of outside. The 20 second video part was an added plus I had not planned on getting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good starter camera
Review: I got this camera as an extra with my Dell lap top about six months back. I have been very happy with the quality of shots and have found the digital zoom useful.
I would definitely recommend getting rechargeable batteries for this camera. You may also want to consider a separate smart media card reader for downloading your pictures to your PC. I have had several instances where my batteries ran out while I was downloading the camera.

Summary: Very good camera!
Review: I got this camera for use on vacation. It took such amazing pictures of the German countryside that we now use it as our main household camera. Connecting to your computer is incredibly simple, especially if you have Windows XP. You will probably want to purchase a larger memory card to go along with the 16 MB card that comes with it. It is very easy to use. My twelve year old niece began to take pictures without any training, and they turned out great. The movie function is great and I love the freedom of picture quality, flash, battery usage, etc. Overall this is a great camera for whoever wants to take great pictures.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great entry level digital camera
Review: I have been using this camera for about a month now. I am very impressed with all the pictures. The close up zoom works great on flowers but takes a steady hand. I recommend buying rechargeable nickle cadmium batteries because normal batteries drain too fast.

Highs: Ease of use. Close up zoom. 20sec movie capability. No lag in taking picture once button is pressed. Software is average. Set up was a breeze on my win98SE PC

Lows: LCD screen hard to see when too dark or really bright. (But, because it's digital, you can take tons of pictures and just keep the good ones) Eats up normal batteries.

Bottom Line: A great buy for entry level digital camera users.

Summary: fantastic camera for an awesome price!
Review: i have had this camera for about a week now. so far, ive been completely satisfied with it. however, when i first got it and hooked it up to my PC, the darn software wasnt able to read my pics. i could see them on the lcd screen, but for some reason the software wasnt reading it.. specifically it said the file was 'broken or an invalid format.' that kind of perplexed me. but i just took out the media card and put it right back in and WHAM.. software was all gravy from there. also, this camera does not come with rechargeable batteries, which is a real bummer! i solved that by picking up 48 AA generic kirkland signature brand batters from my neighborhood costco! the price is also a bit steep compared to other web merchants. i searched around a lot on the web for this camera and found it for a bit cheaper.. but with shipping and if you had bought a 32mb memory card as opposed to amazon throwing in free shipping AND a free 32 MB card, amazon turned out to only be a few dollars more, and who wouldnt pay a few bucks extra for great service from the trusty jeff bezos! =) the positives with this camera.. lightweight, quick to reload after taking pic, 20 second movie (mpeg) capability, easy to use, lots of options to mess around with, small size, simple layout, plenty of settings to fool around with, all around a good versatile camera. my favorite is being able to pan and zoom on the pic while viewing it in the LCD screen. this feature blew my friends mind! its nearly perfect, and its definitely a great value for fine fuji quality! for the price, this camera is a winner!
