Summary: great little camera
Review: after doing some research i desided to buy the kodak dx4900
( bad choice , poor quality and limited features for the money )
i returned the camera after only a few days . i was about to give up on digital cameras, but the salesman talked me into trying the fuji f-401
wow great camera , good pictures and a movie function.
the quality appears to be good, the software downloaded without a hitch.
it came with a dock - kodak wanted another 130$ bucks for theirs.
give it a try im sure you will be happy

Summary: FINE by me!
Review: For the price, this is a huge step up from my former digicam. I found out about fuji finepix when i was visiting the site: http://megan.scatterbrain.org/notmartha/index.html the photos on that site look like they are taken with a 3,000 dollar camera but they're not, they're taken by a finepix so i bought this one. While i believe LIGHTING IS EVERYTHING in photography, I just can't believe the quality of photos this camera takes, whatever the lighting situation. It's SUPER easy to use and I can use smartcards (which are cheaper than those new type of cards) I love the way you turn it on-- sliding the bar with the little lights on it in the front) It's very tiny! people are amazed how small it is when i bring it out. It's smaller than it looks in the picture. The battery lasts forever and you can charge it in 3 hours by just plugging it into the ac adapter which is SIMPLE!!! USB cable is SIMPLE and i use XP's picture wizard that comes up automatically when i plug the camera in. I've taken some very high fashion shots during a photoshoot with my brother and they came out nearly as good as his nikon which is worth thousands. and i didn't even have the luxury of the flashing light boxes. Overall I'm VERY happy about this camera it was an excellent investment and I did lotsa research at steve's website and decided to go with this one. Soon, I'm going to be posting some cool great pictures that i take with my new camera at my clothing design website curvegirl.com so watch out for that.

Summary: Horrible quality
Review: Had a problem with recharging the camera (not a battery problem, defective camera). Attempted to use the warranty: after hours spent on the phone with unhelpful Fuji staff, after months of waiting, after Fuji not returning the battery (took 6 weeks to get it back), we got a beat up refurbished camera back!!! It broke within a week!!!! Thanks for nothing, Fuji.

Summary: Great camera if you never need to take an indoor picture
Review: I got the finepix F401 to replace an Olympus digital camera that was dropped to the floor. At first I was impressed. The camera is very easy to use, the software is very good, and downloading pictures to the computer is extremely easy. Teh small size makes it very easy to carry anywhere.
However, I soon discovered what I think is a major flaw. The camera is great for outdoor pictures, but close to useless for anything indoors. As others have mentioned, the flash is grossly inadequate. Even at 4-5 feet the pictures come out poorly illuminated. The Olympus coudo take great flash pictures at 10 feet or more, while the Fujifilm has trouble even at 4-5 feet. Using the supressed flash/strobe flash function is not a solution because you cannot hold the camera in your hand while doing so -- pictures come out blurred. The autofocus does not work well indoors, to the point that I have to try several times until the camera finally manages to focus.
I am very disappointed with this camera and surprised that Fujifilm would put out a camera with such an inadequate flash. After having spent money to get this, I am reluctant to get another camera so soon (it will certainly NOT be a Fujifilm), but I may have to. This camera is useless for even the most basic indoor pictures.
Don't waste your money -- get an Olympus instead.

Summary: can actually see the hair on my friend's [behind]
Review: i have had this camera for about 6 months and i do enjoy it. read the manual, though, you can find out all sorts of manual controls that are similar to manual cameras (if you are familiar with those) and help with the focus, low light and quick movement that would otherwise make the picture blurry. the diamond pixels make the images incredibly crisp and i have caught details on this camera that i would otherwise have never noticed. i love the fact that you can zoom in even further on the picture once you have taken it, making a close-up of a close-up. i think that this camera is better than the comparable and thinner minolta that is all the rage for the fact that the images are sharper, the zoom better and the lcd screen larger. they are the same dimensions but just the minolta is thinner. this camera makes a cool star trek noise when you turn it on, so that definately puts this camera over the top. overall, the camera is never out of my reach and girls, i even carry it in my purse.

Summary: Great Camera You Can Carry Anywhere
Review: I have had this camera for almost a year and can't say enough about it. The main point would be the size, it is small enough for me to stick it in a pocket and forget I have it. As a result, I take it to many places I would have never hauled a camera before. Also, as a digital, I upgraded to a 128M card and can take almost 100 pictures. I have never run the battery out even using the flash extensively. Since I bought it in June 2003, I have taken 2245 pictures! I don't think I took that many pictures my entire life before that. In addition, these pictures are organized on my computer, posted on the web, burned on CDs and sent to parents, and printed using online services at $0.12 ea for 4"x6" prints! In short, not only do I like the digital aspect, I like the reliability and size of this specific camera. I would recommend it hands down for the people like me, that want more pictures of their friends and family and don't want to spend a fortune on film or carry a cumbersome and delicate camera.
