perfect point and shoot camera.......2007-05-30

I would classify myself as a good critic of digital cameras. I've had this camera for over 2 years and i love it. It takes good quality pictures. There are some downsides to it though. It doesn't take quality pictures at night if your a certain distance away and sometimes it takes blurry pictures in darker places as well. The sound doesn't work on my camera but its probably becuase I have dropped it a couple times and thats never good for any camera. The battery life is okay but my friends have other cameras and their batteries usually last twice as long as mine does. I recommend getting a back up.

Great Camera, Bad Company.......2007-03-26

Here's the Good News:
I have had many cameras in my life, digital and film , and I have found the Z1 to be my favorite. The camera is very user friendly and the pictures are sharp with great color. My previous camera was a Minolta Dimage 7($800) and I found that this camera's photo quality was just as good. The best feature of the camera is the fact that it is sturdy and compact enough to carry with you daily. Owning this camera made taking pictures a daily part of my life.

Here's the Bad News:
Recently my camera broke and when I tried to contact Fuji to get a replacement or a repair, the service was terrible. Their website is very difficult to navigate and offers very little support.

Summary:
Great camera as long as it doesn't break. It's easier to pay someone to fix it than actually get Fuji to repair it.

Exactly what it's suppose to be........2007-01-04

This camera is exactly what it's suppose to be: convenient, reliable, compact, user friendly and above all else, it takes good pictures. If you want a camera that takes great pictures, you'll need to buy something a little more expensive, and quite a bit larger. I bought and returned several cameras in this class before realizing that no camera this size, and in the sub $200 price range will perform the way my SLR does. That said, if you don't mind playing with the Exposure compensation and ISO settings, you can take some pretty great pictures even in low light.

I learned a long time ago that the worst camera is the one you don't have with you when a great shot presents itself. With the Z1 you'll never have that excuse. Even in a case it fits nicely in my front pocket without protruding too noticably.

The only issues I have are that it doesn't have a continuous shutter mode, and the dock is required for charging and downloading images. That said, I'm still giving it 5 stars because as I said, it's exactly what it's suppose to be.

Don't Buy...FujiFilm Support is a Joke...It's The Worst !!!!!!!.......2006-08-22

I bought the camera in May of 2006, as a graduation gift for my son. He loved the style and compactness.

He experienced focus/zoom problems after 1 use. Unfortunately he didn't start to use the gift for 2 months or I might have been able to return to Amazon for a refund. Contacting Fufifilm has been overly cumbersome. Their website is not straightforware and their voice response system is not user friendly or responsive (LONG WAITS). They have had the toy camera (AS THIS IS BEING WRITTEN)for over a week and when I called yesterday for status, they told me that the camera "hasn't been diagnosed yet". I expect it will be, once their 90 day warranty expires, which will limit Fujifilm's liability to the 1 repair. I have a mean case of buyer's remorse. I might as well have taken the ~$235.00 spent on this camera and tossed it in the street.

If you own one and it doesn't require repairs, you might like it. If it ever requires repairs, you might feel as I that you would have been better to purchase a disposable digital camera. Save yourself the potential aggravation and look to a camera that has a longer warranty, a better support environment or by all means purchase the extended warranty. You may still face the frustrations but will have the consolation of knowing that it will cost you no more then shipping to have it repaired. I bought it in May of 2006....I feel like I lost it in July of 2006.

IF I COULD HAVE GIVEN THE Z1 LESS THEN 1 STAR, I WOULD HAVE. THAT'S WHAT IT DESERVES! !&%$$##444EN FUJIFILM

Perfect compact camera with great picture quality!.......2006-08-16

I've had this camera for several months now and I LOVE it. If you are a professional photographer looking to take photos for magazine covers... move on BUT if you're looking for a small camera that you can take anywhere and take good quality shots this is it.

PROS:
Small (Fits in your pocket)
Big Screen (And it's hard to scratch! I frequently slip it in my pocket, sometimes with change, and it hasn't scratched once yet.)
Good Battery Life (Don't use the flash and it'll last a long time.)
Rechargeable Battery
Great Quality (99% of the time I'm very happy with the shots I get.)

and the best:

"Natural Light Mode" In this mode the ISO is raised to 800 (I think) and you can take pictures indoors without the flash! And they're not blurry either! It's a really great feature because when you use it your subjects don't have redeye or bleached skin from a flash. Also, the colors are almost dead on. I use this all the time indoors and get great results.

CON:
Lery little zoom. Just the standard 3x. (But better then other compact cams.)

The only thing I'd reccomend is that you buy a case for the camera. Even if it's a cheap case, get one. The camera looks so good you'd just die if you scraped it up. ;c)

I really really loved this camera!!! Unfortunately, Fujifilm does not make the Finepix Z1's anymore, so when my zoom went defective, I couldn't exchange it. It's an awesome camera though!
