Summary: My first digital - this is a camera!
Review: The instructions...very poorly written. English as taught in Seoul. I immediately bought extra batteries and a speed charger at Radio Shack. Have not regretted it. I've had it about two weeks. I love it. Never was big on cameras but being able to erase bad shots, edit good ones, email, print, take close ups from 6-8 inches. It is fun. Fits in my shirt pocket, sometimes I forget I have it with me. I am tempted to upgrade the memory but I have not reached its capacity yet. The picture quality is excellent. The video capability is a lot of fun too. It seems too tiny to do so much. Everyone who has seen it is impressed with it. I would buy it again.

Summary: Best Digital Camera in the World!
Review: This camera has the same image quality and features as the Fuji FinePix 4700, but it is smaller. Also, it is an Mp3 player. That alone is worth about $200. This is the only digital camera and Mp3 player in one. I ordered this camera from somewhere else before it became available here. This is the best digital camera there is. I'm sure that it will be a hot christmas item this year.

Summary: Good camera
Review: This camera is small sleek and fits right into your pocket. although i do think the built in mp3 player is not very useful they should have taken it off and made a better digital focal lense. It also has that remote with earplugs but i think that it would be more useful if consumers could use the ear buds to listen to the video recordings while watching them for better sound quality. But, i wouldnt complain 4.3 megapixels in one tiny wallet sized camera, mp3 player and video camera id say it would be worth it all the way with these great features. If you are into tiny gadgets, this is a camera for you.

Summary: perfect balance
Review: This camera is the perfect balance between high resolution and small size. The photo's I have taken with this camera are so fantastic, that two other picky people from my office finally bit the bullet and bought one too! I have traveled the world for 13 years capturing the moment - therefore -my photo's are important to me. By the same token, if the thing is too large, I am less likely to want to drag it along. This camera is so small, I carry it with me everywhere - traveling or not. It is also easy to use with auto or manual functions if you prefer. The macro lens is great - I have used it in lieu of a document scanner in a pinch. I carry a couple of spare rechargeable batteries (extra 5 bucks) so I am never out of juice and the smart media cards are only limited by MB = hundreds of pictures on one card. Another important consideration is the time it takes the camera to record the shot. Some digitals have more megapixels but are too slow to record initially or between shots. This one is as fast as a film camera. To sum it up - this camera takes beautiful pictures, is easy to operate, fast to act, and small enough to carry in a pocket while skiing. Top this off with ?Ofoto? (Amazon's photo printing service) and the results are amazing - worth framing. If this baby ever dies--> I will buy another one!
The digital video is fun for short takes with sight and sound that can be replayed on the camera. I have never used the MP3 function and I do not care if I ever do.
Best of luck on your camera hunt. From Venice to the Swiss Alps to New Zealand, this is my choice. _ams

Summary: AAA+++ for small ,light and super quality!
Review: This is one of the easiest camera's to use. The quality is great and in such a small , light but durable package! Megapixel !!!! I can't say enough about this camera. So many features. I do use the mp3 player and it works great , but to hold pics and mp3's I have to upgrade my smart media card. I will go to a 128 meg and that will be all I need. (I called Fuji and they said it will handle a 128 meg card) This camera requires a special ID smart media card and Viking makes it. Last time I looked Amazon was selling it [price] dollars for 128 meg. Nice! My wife has her eye on this beauty and now she wants one, so I ordered the metallic blue model. The movie function is nice and includes sound but I really don't use it. I noticed that although the movies have an .avi extension windows media player won't play them but quicktime does. .... Some camera buffs wish this camera had optical zoom, but I'm happy with the digital zoom and after all optical zoom means heavy weight added to the camera. No thanks, I love this baby just the way it is! Enjoy...

Summary: Great Simple Camera
Review: This is really a simple straight forward tiny digital camera. If you want a huge number of features and a lot of settings this isn't a camera for you.
On the other hand if you want a camera you can take anywhere and tuck in your pocket, you'll never miss a shot with this tiny camera.
It's menus are easy to use, but note that the screen on the back is a bit tiny. No hunting for the flash feature as on many other cameras. It's right on the top so you can flip between Off, Auto FillFlash and Red Eye Reduction.
Great snapshot camera for the pro or as a primary camera for the family photographer who doesn't want to lug around a larger camera.
