A great thing for the thing that it is...........2005-05-24

I bought this camera for my coed daughter for Christmas, and she loves it! It takes very good photos, and the convenience of digital for a college student can't be beat. I also got her the docking station (for ease of downloading photos and e-mailing them to mom) and, of course, a bigger chip. This camera is small and very easy to use (and apparently somewhat indestructible - survived a frat party or two). For the price and the function, it was a great pick. One more thing....Amazon cannot be beat for overall price, when you consider free shipping and no sales tax.

From OK to DOA.......2004-10-18

I got this camera 6 months ago as an "upgrade" to my previous Fuji. I was happy with it for the first months but over the last month the quality of the images got horrible (to say the least). Now I can't take pictures at night or with low light. I will stand 3-4 feet away from the target and the picture won't come out right. I don't think it has to do with the flash, since some pictures taken at daytime are coming out washed out, too. I've also noticed some red lines in some of the images. What else can I tell you? I'm writing this review while I'm researching for a new camera.

Not Happy.......2004-10-07

I am a long time Fuji fan, starting with a 35mm film camera. My next camera was a FinePix 2300, which served me well and with which I have taken over 11,000 photos. Looking for something a little better, I next purchased an A310. This camera has never given me the sharp and clear pictures that I get with the 2300, and I have never been happy with the camera. I love the little xD picture cards and I really like the cradle, but I sure do not like the camera. At the present time the A310 is retired and I am using the 2300.

One of the best in it's class.......2004-04-26

Pictures are worth a 1000 words. Please see the pictures in my photo gallery (www.people.umass.edu/nishanth/ ) which I took with FinePix A310 at 1MP setting.

+ Points:
It doesn't drain the batteries quickly as others.
Crystal clear pictures.
Extreme close-up and long range shots with equal ease.
Light, compact and elegant.
High quality 6 MP prints.
Equipped with almost all functions which you can ever need.
Easy picture management software.

The only defect I can find is the lack of an UV filter.
I strongly recommend its purchase.

I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS THE BEST LITTLE CAMERA YOU CAN BUY!!.......2004-03-05

I own an awesome Canon Rebel S2 camera (35mm) and needed a fit-me-in-a-pocket sleek digital camera with decent megapixels. I saw this camera and bought - LOVE IT! It shoots in 6 MEGAPIXELS! What Fuji did was they found a way to "overlap" the 3.1 megapixels onto eachother to creat 6 megapxls.
I OWN IT FOR OVER 2 WEEKS NOW AND TESTED THE PHOTO QUALITY:
Let me tell you the COLOR is 100% ACCURATE - TRUE TO LIFE COLOR which was my number 1 quality I was looking for (next to megapxl and clarity).

I blew up one of the photos to 13" x 18" and THE PICTURE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, the picture was of me and my dog and you can see the finest hairs on my dog. NO PIXELATION WHATSOEVER!!!! People were very impressed!!!!

It's very compact. The next best one is Canon S400. See the complete reviews with test images at www.imaging-resource.com . For the money you can't beat it!
Wait a year or two and then upgrade to a fancy 5 megapixel or by then 8 megapixel
(which just came out for $1000). Technology rapidly advances- in the meantime stick with this camera- you'll love it!!!
