Summary: Decent camera
Review: I am in college and wanted a digital camera to capture all those priceless memories, and this Fuji does a pretty good job. First thing that attracted me the msot was the price. I actually bought mine in a combo set that included a printer for $170. The only bad thing about the printer is I though that it was just a normal printer that hooked up to your computer, but it's a camera compatible printer only, and it's just as big as a normal printer. Back to the camera. It's basic functions are pretty easy to use. I'm one of those people who don't really read a manual, I just jump into it and figure it out. At first, I couldn't figure some things out like how to view my pictures I just took. But after a few minutes of button pushing, I figured it out. The quality of pictures on my computer seems really great. I haven't printed any prints yet, but I have faith that it will be great. It's fairly small in size, but I wish it was smaller like an Elph. Overall, I think that this is a great camera for the low-budget starter or for someone who doesn't care a whole lot about printing every picture that they take. This isn't a camera I would buy if I had a bigger budget though.

Summary: Affordable, compact, easy to use, good pix for a P&S
Review: I am not a photographer and am not really an expert about cameras but I've gotten a lot of good use out of this one. My main camera is a Sony DSC-S30, which is bigger and heavier and more expensive and which I tend to handle with great care.

If that camera were a pair of Ray Bans, the Fuji A330 is like a pair of drugstore sunglasses; I wanted a little camera with optical zoom that I could stuff in my pocket and use without too much worry and this is it. I also got one for my folks, who were iffy about dipping into digital but they found it easy to use. It's a good starter camera and it comes with its own memory card and batteries, which means if you're gifting it you have everything in one unintimidating box.

As someone else here wrote, rechargable batteries are definitely recommmended. And I, too, wish the camera had audio to go with the video but, for the price and size, I can live without that.

Summary: Fuji 3.2 is a GREAT BUY !!
Review: I bought this camera to upgrade from my 2.1 MP Fuji camera and it is very similar but takes much better pictures than my old one and the zoom is great. The features take a little studying to learn to maneuver and operate but I am catching on while using it. The program to load the pictures on your PC is great and has lots of editing features. It has a slide show and everything. Definitely get the 32MB upgrade card though to go with this as it holds much more than the 16mb that comes with the camera. Very satisfied.

Summary: What a P.O.S.!!
Review: I have trouble even believing that the folks who wrote reviews of this camera ever used it. I bought it to replace a Canon Sure-Shot (which I lost). There is basically nothing good about this camera. It takes too long to work, has no audio on the video mode, and the images (both still and video) are terrible. I am absolutely returning it to the vendor, and have no intention of trying any other camera products from Fujifilm.

Summary: great camera
Review: I purchased this camera yesterday. It is easy to use, takes great pics, color is exceptional. My son has a Cannon sureshot and in my opinion this Fuji has great color. I'm so pleased with the purchase of this camera. I'm still learning but I must say my decision to purchase this camera was based on the photos I reviewed on customer images. I'm not sorry I chose this little camera.

Summary: Great Little Gift To A Shutterbug :)
Review: I recently received this camera as a Christmas gift, along with a spare 128 MB xD card. I was a new user to the world of digital cameras and I was shooting perfect pictures within minutes. I had a few bad shots (due to my own flubs); but all in all my pictures were wonderful, beautiful, & crystal clear images. Between 12/25 and 1/02 I have taken over 150 pictures. I have to go through a few steps to get the pictures transfered to my PC (which is easy, if you can follow directions) and onto CD rom, and not being a patient person that is a lot of trouble--that is certainly well worth it. It certainly beats having to wait 2 hrs at Wal-Mart trying to get 2 rolls of film developed (in one hour) after someone had dropped off 19 rolls to be developed at the one hour photo there. I would recommend rechargable batteries, depending on how much of a shutterbug you are. I like the fact it is small and compact, enough so I carry in in my shoulder bag everywhere. The resolution is super and since I don't need any picture bigger than an 8 x 10 (where the heck would I store or pack something that size?) I don't mind it being 3.2 MP. This wasn't the first camera I was looking at when I was asked what I wanted--but am glad my mom gave me this one--now she wants one too, and she is quite resistant to new technology. All that being said our old 35mm camera only worked with Fuji film (no other film would have pictures that developed, only pictures taken with Fuji would develop); and this product stands up to a great experience we have had with their products. I recommend this for starters, people who want to simply click and save their photos and are not interested in "editing" or anyone who wants an inexpensive digital camera; but keep all the accessories in the box :)

Summary: Great Camera
Review: My first digital camera, but I love it! It's super easy to use and you can easily get your pictures on to your computer. The software it comes with is completely useless and poorly designed, but you don't need it for anything. A great product!

Summary: Great price but ...
Review: This camera is a lot smaller than the last year model, Fuji FinePix A210 and costs about 20 to 30 dollars more. I bought this camera based on the reviews on the A210. This is my second digital camera. The camera comes with 2 Alkaline batteries, a 16M xD memory card. I use 2 NimH rechargeable batteries instead. It doesn't come with a case.

The Fuji A330 camera is a point-and-shoot camera that has red eye reduction. I was able to operate without reading the instruction manual. Under bight light, the LCD screen is very fade and hard to see. If you want to download the pictures to the computer, you will need to install the USB driver. I have Windows 2000 and the software installation is a snap.

The outdoor pictures are acceptable. However I was disappointed with indoor pictures. Even at a 4-5 feet range, the pictures were dark.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great camera
Review: This is a great camera for a novice. If you are taking a picture of fast moving objects or people, you would want to use the sport mode. Otherwise, just set the camera and light settings to "Auto" and you're done!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great camera!
Review: This is a great camera! I repeat great. It is very light weight and compact. I got this for Christmas, I wasn't very impressed with its looks but once I decided to open it, it was actually nice. This camera is easy to use and you can easily transfer files to your computer. The memory cards are hard to find and it uses batteries very quickly but these shouldn't affect if you should by it. I highly recommend this camera.
