Amazon.com Product Description
The Fuji FinePix A101 offers basic point-and-shoot operability and Webcam operability in an affordable package. Its 1.3-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for pictures at sizes up to 5 by 7 inches. The A101 also features a 2x digital zoom, movie mode, and built-in flash.
Designed for people who like to push one button and let the camera figure out everything else, the FinePix A101 is fully automatic. Just flip a switch to open the lens cover and turn the camera on, then aim and press the button. It's that simple. For photographers who want more control over their photos, there are several options: the flash has five modes, the white balance can be adjusted to optimize colors under various lighting conditions, and exposure compensation can be set to lighten or darken your shots.
Like many other entry-level digital models, the A101 keeps the price low by using a focus-free lens with no optical zoom. A 2x digital zoom does bring your shooting subject closer like an optical zoom, but at the expense of image detail. The lens also has a macro setting (for shooting extreme close-ups).
In addition to taking still photos, the A101 can also record silent movie clips of up to 20 seconds. Though image quality is not on a par with a movie made in a camcorder, the feature is very convenient and is perfect for sending videos by e-mail. What's more, the camera can be connected directly to your computer's USB port for use as a Webcam.
The camera is powered by two AA batteries (alkalines are provided)--but it is strongly recommend that the customer buy a set of rechargeable batteries, as they last longer on a single charge and quickly pay for themselves. Images are stored on SmartMedia cards, and a 8 MB card is included.
One of the A101's most surprising features is its speediness. It's one of the quickest cameras in its class, and, in fact, is faster than many more expensive cameras. From virtually the moment you turn it on, the camera is ready to start shooting, and shot-to-shot performance won't keep you waiting.
With the camera's slim dimensions, sleek design, and integrated lens cover, it's easy to slip into your pocket to take along anywhere. Its 1-megapixel sensor provides decent detail, and its speedy processing and simple controls make it fun to use.

Ok Camera........2005-05-29
$100 Very Well Spent.......2004-09-01
Still a good camera..........2004-01-04
Pictures are pretty good. If you have ample light, they are wonderful. If it's dim, you get yellowish colors. This can usally be somewhat corrected with software.
The one major problem i've had with mine is the selector swith is giving out. Many times as I'm composing a shot, it'll flip back to preview mode. People might also have problems finding cards now of days, as it uses Smart Media cards(NOT Smart Digital)
All in all, a great point and shoot camera. Great if you don't have time to fiddle with focusing and such...
Eh. So-so........2003-10-06
Great for the money!.......2003-08-18
The software is pretty good, and pretty easy to install or uninstall. I used it on Windows Millennium with surprising success, but Windows 2000 seems to detect when the camera is connected to the USB cable more reliably. As far as the functionality of the FinePix software, it's pretty basic, but once again, I don't think I'll be doing a lot of editing; most of the pictures turn out looking pretty good to me.
The memory that comes with the camera is pretty wimpy; you can get a 128MB card very reasonably and have tons of room for jpegs and mpegs. Even though it's pretty easy on batteries, a stock of rechargeables is a good idea.
