Summary: A Great Deal
Review: I was not looking for a confusing camera just something simple to use that can take great pictures. This is that camera. Minutes after getting it I had already taken numerous pictures of my daughter that I already treasure. I don't know what the more expensive models offer but I can't imagine the picture quality being any better. This is great for everyday use. Very easy to use.

Summary: So simple to use you think you're doing something wrong.
Review: I'm a total newbie to digital photography. I do maintain web pages for my students (college writing) and figured a good "starter" camera would be a good investment. I came across this one through an Amazon deal.It was priced well within my budget, under $100.00, and was a nice little complete package. (Even with batteries!) Instructions were clear, and it's basically usable right out of the box. It comes with PC software that makes it easy to transfer your pics to your PC. And, a nice surprise, they even included the USB cable! Well, it's so simple to use you think you're doing something wrong. I've had it for a couple weeks and tried both indoor and outdoor shooting. The zoom is very easy to use, and it's very simple to immediately check out your shots. It's got all the features of a moderately priced, film camera (red eye, auto focus/flash, etc.) Only personal glitch for me...there is a momentary delay between pushing the button and the actual shot, which I learned the hard way by taking shots of my daughter riding her horse. I had a couple of my daughter actually riding OUT of the frame. Still...more my mistake than the cameras. Still, this is easy to adjust to, and other pictures came out fine. I'm no pro with photography, but this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone wanting to cut their teeth on taking digipics. I still need to find a camera case for it, but that's easy to do. Somehow, I'm sure Amazon will manage to add accessories to my page... :-) Try it out!

Summary: Great Value
Review: I'm giving this 5 stars largely because of its value for money. For $115, you get a 2MP with a 3X optical zoom... and it takes pretty good shots. Don't expect an SLR shot from a 2MP $115 camera.... but this camera can hold its own against $300 ones. If you are on a budget or you need a spare point and shoot, get this one. Resolution is pretty ok... 36mm equivalent for wide is good... the tele, pretty ok. Since its a 2MP, a 32 or 64 MB card can hold a lot of pictures already. You can't get a $500 performance here... if you like that, get a $500 camera... I can't believe how inexpensive this camera is!

Summary: A Real Bargain
Review: I've been thinking and thinking and thinking of buying a digital camera for a long time, but kept putting it off. Everytime I saw something that looked promising, it seems there was a purchase killer somewhere-too expensive, no LCD display, too few pixels, whatever-and I kept passing. Then my sister told me she was getting a grant from her school to take her kids on several field trips and had $100 to spend on disposable film cameras. Then the light bulb came on over my head. Why not get a digital camera, said I? So I rounded up the usual web sites for research, came upon the FujiFilm A205, and was impressed by the specs. Where, oh where, thought I, can I find some reliable real world reviews? Amazon, of course. After reading the reviews I bought the camera and a 64Mb memory card and I'm delighted with the results. You need not hesitate any longer if you've been considering getting a digital camera. This camera is a real bargain. Picture quality exceeds my expectations, and I've even taken a few experimental pics at night and with a little more refinement of technique, I'll even be getting better night shots.

Summary: Great Value And a Solid First or Everyday Digital Camera
Review: I've had this camera over a year and I have about 50 other assorted cameras including a canon SLR (non digital) and and Arca Swiss view camera (ooh la la) and this is pretty much the only camera I have used during the year. OK mostly I do family photography and ebay product shots and not "serious" photography but even so this is telling.
I paid $99 on sale in Dec 2003 and the price has not come down much since. I get mostly excellent pix with this camera although I have yet to figure out how to avoid red eye with it. I need to experiment with sticking a piece of stamp edging over the flash or use an off camera slave or something. I use 4 rechargeable AA cells and this works well. When the 2 batteries in the camera are too low I swap them with the two charging in the charger and this way I am never short of batteries and it's all paid for. I use a 256MB xD card and just leave it in the camera all the time. I think if you are constantly changing cards they or the camera might be less reliable but that's just conjecture. I got the 256MB xD card cheap as I bought a lot of 5 of them on eBay and sold the remaining 4 individually for about what I paid for all 5. A couple of things could be improved. The white balance menu is too small to read the symbols and needs some text. It is slow
to shoot after you press the button - action shots are hard to time right. It could do a better job on flash portraits with red eye - pre flash to get peoples irises to narrow before the picture is taken. I should invent and patent some kind of sliding flash reflector/diffuser that will distribute the flash better.
Camera is a bit bulky for a shirt pocket.

Summary: solid, not spectacular
Review: It was my first digital camera purchase and I'm generally pleased. I enjoy travelling to different countries, so many pictures are taken outdoors. For outdoor photos, this is a great investment. I usually set the camera at 1.0 mega pixels to take more pictures, and the quality is unbelievable. People who have seen the pictures cannot believe they were taken at 1.0 mps. In addition, it is extremely easy to use. Even if you have never used a digital camera, you will have no problem taking pictures (and erasing subpar pictures from memory). Downside. Well, if you enjoy indoor photography, make sure the subject is close to you, or make sure the room is very well lit. I have had several pictures I have had to edit with the software (which, luckily, is easy to do) just to be able to see what the picture was. Like many digital cameras, it eats batteries like cheeseburgers. Finally, while lightweight, it is somewhat (and unnecessarily, in my opinion) bulky. Also, it is a new model, but the price has been slashed considerably ...this could be a sign of trouble, but it could also just mean its a bargain.
I'd recommend the camera for people new to digital cameras, and for anyone who wants to take pictures without a lot of hassle.

Summary: Fantastic Camera!!
Review: It's simple to operate, takes fantastic pictures, and is extremely portable. I have a fancier Fuji digital that's also wonderful, but I wind up using this one more than the other simply because it's so easy to use. I carried it in my fanny pack all over Disney World for four days and it was so wonderful to be able to whip it out and get quick pictures whenever necessary. It's on and focused within seconds. Never a missed shot. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Summary: great little camera
Review: its a great little camera, specially for the price. i use it as my position in my college student government to keep track of my class's 4 years. it has the basic uses. its not as great as the few hundred dollar digital camera my parents have (which has a million more features) but if u want an easy point and shoot w/ great pictures and easy to use features this is definitely a great camera to get for any age.
