Rating: Summary: Great but cheap camera for great, quick pictures Review: This is what I got for $85 dollars: Crisp Pictures(provided there is good lighting, use a good slave flash for indoors please). Amazing color reproduction. Ease of use, i.e. light weight, easy connection with USB, good menu. Great battery life(took more than 350 shots with AA NiMH 2100mAh), I believe one reason is the awesome xD cards they use. I have no clue why people think its bad cuz' its easily lost, just use the package it came in, or let it stay in the camera. I got 64M for $28 and I can store 101 2M pics.Pictures with a205 came out more vivid than my Minolta 4MP S414. It has a faster boot, faster focus than S414 and ofcourse a lot lighter. But I did pay 4 times as much for S414 for some extra controls. So for everyday casual shots a205 wins. thanks amazon, best $85 dollars ever spent.
Rating: Summary: Don't buy this from Ritz.com Review: This product is great. However, DO NOT attempt to do business with ritz.com at all unless you're willing to go through the hassle of dealing with cheap customer service. They charge your credit card before shipping the product. The USPS tracking number doesn't work and they say it's USPS' fault.
Rating: Summary: A Steal for point & shoot photographers Review: We bought one because it was cheap and thought we would save up and buy a better one later. For our useage it is perfect. It takes great shots with little interaction from the user. The pics are sharp and clear and the color is great. It comes with excellent software as well. We have given up thoughts of buying a different one. You can't go wrong for the buck!
Rating: Summary: great little camera Review: We bought this for our daughter, as she will be traveling to some exciting places, and she just loves it! The ease of use and of downloading make this a very easy to use camera and the size is handy to carry around. She has been the offical picture person in her dorm and has fun putting these pictures within minutes online. Maybe we should consider one for ourselves!
Rating: Summary: Excellent first digital camera Review: We had two digital cameras in our household: an Olympus Camedia D40Z and a Pentax Optio S4. We bought the FujiFilm FinePix A205 a little over a week ago. My son and I spent two days looking online for a digital camera in the $100 price range. (This camera was purchased for him from his savings). Many of the cameras that we found in this price range were very limited. The A205 was a stand out from the rest. It even has a few features that our more expensive two-year-old Olympus doesn't have. My son was able to figure out how to use it quickly. The picture quality and battery life have been very good. (Although as other reviewers have said here and elsewhere, buy rechargeable batteries and a charger). Really an excellent first digital camera.
Rating: Summary: my 1st digital camera Review: We've been using this camera for over a month and love it. It's our first one, so we were a bit leary, but we've had no problems with the camera (aside from going through batteries quickly) and the software it comes with is fabulous and very easy to use! My adivise is to buy the power adapter right off the bat...you'll spend the same money in batteries very quickly. We print our photos on glossy photo paper on our all-in-one HP color printer and even with only 2 mega pixels they still come out looking like a true photograph (coming from an avid SLR photographer).
