Description:

Designed for people who like to push one button and let the camera figure out everything else, the A200 is a fully automatic, 2-megapixel digital camera that also features a movie mode for capturing short videos and PC camera capability. It's also one of the first digital cameras to utilize the tiny XD memory card.

Featuring a CCD sensor with 2 million effective pixels, the FinePix A200 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 1,600 x 1,200 pixels) and prints up to 8 by 10 inches. Like many other entry-level digital models, the Fuji keeps the price low by using a focus-free lens with no optical zoom. A 2.5x digital zoom does bring your shooting subject closer like an optical zoom, but at the expense of image detail. The lens also has a macro setting (for shooting extreme close-ups).

For photographers who want more control over their photos, there are several options: the flash has five modes, the white balance can be adjusted to optimize colors under various lighting conditions, and exposure compensation can be set to lighten or darken your shots.

In addition to taking still photos, the A200 can also record silent movie clips of up to 20 seconds. What's more, the camera can be connected directly to your computer's USB port for use as a Webcam.

The camera is powered by two AA batteries (alkalines are provided), but we recommend that you buy a set of rechargeable batteries, as they last longer on a single charge and quickly pay for themselves. Images are stored on XD memory cards, and a 16 MB card is included, which stores approximately 25 images at fine mode and 39 images at normal mode.

This package includes the FinePix A200 digital camera, 16 MB XD memory card, two AA alkaline batteries, USB cable, hand strap, and CD-ROM with software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.
