Summary: Excellent value
Review: I have owned several digital cameras and bought this as a low-end bang around every day use camera. Takes great pictures and is easy to use. Battery use is not really that bad, although I do recommend getting rechargeables. The case design is not all it could be....is a little blocky

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Value
Review: I just bought this camera and I think it's a tremendous value for the price. It's compact enough to carry around and the pictures it takes are great. I read some of the reviews about the batteries but I didn't have that problem at all. I took at least 75 shots and still have the same batteries in it. A real great value.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent low end camera!
Review: I like this camera because:

a) Its batteries last for more than just a few pics (so far the first set has taken more than 15 pics).

b) It's comfortable to use (nice size and shape) and nice looking.

c) It takes great pics. Color is rich and image is realistic.

d) It connects easily via USB and the software is simple if a bit more than what i need.

e) You can connect it directly to your video viewer (TV, another cam, or VCR) with the included video cable.

I don't like that:

a) The power switch slides instead of clicking off and on (could leave it on by mistake since its position is always the same).

b) You have to switch it to another mode to view pics easily (you CAN see them in the main view, but it's a pain).

Excellent buy at $200!

Summary: Greatttt Camera For Family Use!!
Review: I recently got this camera from amazon and with just 130$ for 3.2Megapixel it was a steal rather than a deal(also read 3.2 optical zoom along with 3x digital zoom)
when i was buying it i was tentative for the price it was been offered but i must admit i was wrong and all of my friends have liked it and one even thinking to sell his other digital camera and get this one.
this is the simplest camera to operate and is highly recommended for those who just want to use it for family purpose
Great job done by Fujifilm and thanks amazon.

Summary: A good deal but lacks sharpness
Review: I've used a pretty wide range of digital cameras so I feel comfortable grading the Finepix 210 a solid 3, possibly a 3.5. I bypassed inexpensive 2MP cameras to make the jump to this, one of the least expensive 3MP ones around that had decent reviews.
After using it I can say that it is definitely lacking the sharpness of competitors like the Nikon Coolpix 3100. I only use it at the highest quality level and even closeups for portraits are obviously not razor sharp like I've become accustomed to with the 3MP Nikon and Sony products.
On the other hand this camera is at least $50-$70 less than the competitors and when accessories are factored in I was able to get the camera, a 128MB xd card and the handy USB cradle (with rechargeable battery) for $100 less than I could've with Nikon or Sony.
The bottom line: this is a decent camera that puts 3MP in reach of the average casual user but it is not very sharp.

Summary: Fujifilm A210
Review: Same as most reviewers on this camera, my first one and I love it! I've had it close to two weeks now and am finding myself addicted to taking pictures just because I know I don't have to worry about buying another roll of film. I haven't upgraded from the 16mb card, but that hasn't been a problem since I download my pictures onto my computer everyday. I already had rechargeable batteries and they come in use now more than ever (I used them pretty much just for my cd player). Like another poster stated, the alkaline batteries it came with died soon after playing around with the camera trying to figure things out - approximately 19 pictures at 3.2mp, not to mention checking out the menu on the LCD screen. Defintely happy with the purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great all around
Review: The Fujifilm FinePix A210 digital camera is a great buy. You can't get a better camera for under $200. I just got one for Christmas and I had it working in under a minute. Very user friendly. Easy to use and figure out. Great looking pictures and movies. You may want to buy a larger memory card though, if you plan on using the movies often. Great all-around camera!!!

Summary: Spend a little more and get a better shot!
Review: The pictures that come from this camera, are grainy and unpredictable. Sometimes, it takes 2 or 3 shots to capture one picture because for whatever reason, the picture will be blurred - even at the highest setting with great lighting. I have been using digital cameras for the past few years and this one is the worst I've ever seen. I bought it for the extra memory card, and cradle but the camera isn't worth it. While the software and camera is easy to use, I find it more frustrating to take a quality picture. I frequently find myself reaching for my old trusty Olympus to ensure that I get the shot right. If I had to do it over again, I'd spend another $150 and buy another Olympus. This camera is more frustrating than it's worth!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fair camera for low price.
Review: The price is the best part about this camera. I played with it for about two weeks and did not have a good deal of luck. Pictures outside in bright light were good. But any pictures indoors with light and flash were not as good as my other digital camera. Lot of blurry pictures. Flash would completely blackout the rest of the picture. LCD display not very crisp to check for blurriness of snapped pictures. Easy to use, just very slow in saving pictures, erasing pictures and shutter speed. I don't know how good a deal it is when the pictures don't come out well.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good starter digicam
Review: This camera is great as a starter digital camera, especially for people who are usually afraid of photography. The camera body is easy to hold and the buttons are laid out user-friendlily. It's the usual snap-and-go type, and anyone who half a brain can use the basic functions after picking it up. The memory cards have come down *a lot* in price so there's no reason to whine any more. BTW, speaking of price, the A210 can be had for under one-fifty if you shop around. For that price this is simply the best 3MP camera.

Image quality is excellent outdoors when light is aplenty. Night shots do tend to be dark and noisy (noise refers to the coarse-grained color dots you see in a poorly exposed picture). But after you read the manual you can do things to improve night shots. Besides, no camera takes great picures when there's insufficient light.
