underdog of cameras.......2007-05-02

i'm pretty sure this camera isn't given enough chance and most people believe you need something super fancy to take better than good pictures and it really isn't the case. i did experience a lot of the same "frustrations" that others were complaining about and i'm not sure if its my semi-knowledge of camera use and photography that helped me smooth out the frustrations or the simple fact the camera truly holds a potential you sort of have to tinker with for awhile before its discovered. its a great little point n' shoot-esque camera that's done everything my regular slr's and digital slr's have done without a lot of the pains of technology (or old technology). i'm not a fan of the slow shutter speed when it comes to action shots and things of that nature but its macro does wonders and well practically so does everything else and after all the getting used to, its worked its way into my daily routines.

So Many Problems!.......2007-05-01

My son got this camera last December (2006). It has been nothing but trouble right out of the box. We put batteries in and from the first time we turned it on, it would not function properly. I contacted Fuji and sent the defective camera back to them for re-working. I figured that was okay, as any camera can be defective, and surely once it is repaired or replaced, it will be fine. (BTW, I had to pay to send it to Fuji, even though it was under warranty.) I received the repaired camera in about a month, and it seemed to work! I was happy to try it out. I took exactly three pictures before the old problems started. I don't know what was wrong with the camera, but the viewfinder was either completely dark, or streaked with white lines. I thought it was just a viewfinder problem, so I continued to take pictures just to see what I would get. The pictures came out just as they appeared on the viewfinder: either completely dark or streaked with white! I wish I could insert a picture in this review to illustrate the problem. So, here I go again. I will have to contact Fuji and see what they can do.

Constantly Blurry.......2007-03-17

I've had this camera for about a year and a half and it's a great camera if you feel the need to take about 3 shots of everything. I have taken some wonderful pictures with this camera but there have been way too many times when I took a picture, it looked great on the viewfinder and great when I reviewed the pictures on the camera but as soon as they were uploaded to the computer, I could see they weren't nearly as clear as they should have been. This isn't due to a malfunction of any sort, it's due to the fact that the screen on the back is large enough to see your pictures but gives a false sense of security when you check to make sure your picture looks good. It's also due to the fact that this camera just isn't that great. I'm now looking for a better camera since I'm tired of finding that the pictures I was so excited to print out or show to others look horrible.

Camera Great, Buy.com iffy.......2007-01-26

The camera works great even though it is a refirbished unit. However it did not come complete. It is missing the adapter ring and is now out of production.Buy.com, Fuji and other locations do not have the ring. My bad for buying an out of date camera for sale.

love it!.......2007-01-06

I am just getting around to reviewing this camera after purchasing it about 2 years ago. I love it; it's a good first or second digital camera, as it is functional but without too many features for the beginner. I use it for both personal and my job as a newsletter editor -- the 4MP are more than enough to get the quality images at the resolution required for publishing.
