Rating: Summary: Excellent Camera Review: Great camera, the pictures come out great, very high quality. The flash works as it should, and even in low light the pictures will come out great - i'm not sure why others are having problems with this camera in low light.My only complaint is that it's hard to see the lcd screen outside on a sunny day. The camera is kinda big, but easy enough to store in your pocket. It's a lot easier to plug the camera into your PC and take the pics right off the camera via windows explorer, instead of using the software that comes with the CD. Would recommend to all. Picture's I take can be find at ...delamente...
Rating: Summary: FinePix 2650 Outstanding, Nikon Coolpix 2100 Better? Review: FinePix 2650 never disappoints me as a beginner's camera at this price except that the xD card it uses is too expensive. I just happened to see that Nikon Coolpix 2100 has a lot more functions packed in there, but only about US$... more expensive. Coolpix 2100 is small enough to fit in your palm or shirt pocket. How do you like that? Portability is a key factor keeping your from using the camera. These days, you may need some 256M+ or at least 128M memory at least on a vacation. With that taken into account Nikon Coolpix 2100 should actually be cheaper with more functions. I never owned Coolpix 2100, but you may get professional advice at dpreview or steves-digicams online for further information, before you make any decisions. Deals are on the net all the time these days. Deals on one site could be higher than routine prices on another. Going google with key words like "deal time" to find professional sites to evaluate your deals of whatever product you have should also be very important.
Rating: Summary: Lovely! Review: I picked up this camera after reading through all the reviews on this site and I must say I am very plesantly surprised with it. It has great color and the zoom is just fabulous. It's a little big and somewhat clunky for someone with small hands like mine, but nothing you can't get used to. As for the proprietary cards, I've found that all the complaints are really moot. The cards are only about [money] more than other "standard" name brand cards, and worth it for the picture quality. Bottom line, if you're looking for a good camera that takes nice, sharp pictures for a good price, this is it. If you're looking for a professional camera, be prepared to pay professional prices. But this will certainly do very well for anyone who just wants to take nice pictures.
Rating: Summary: Take it everywhere! Review: My daughter's wedding in Hawaii in Oct. 2002 was the biggest test so far for my 2650 Fuji Finepix. I shot over 140 Pics. (without once re-charging my 1700 mah batteries) in all kinds of lighting and didn't miss a shot. I was using a 128 MB smart media and I had plenty of space left for about 60 more shots. I take this camera on board my boat for my Salmon fishing trips both in winter and summer here on the Washington coast and the shots have all come out great. My son has a new Cannon G3 4MP and he can't believe that my camera takes better pictures than his. Buy it! You won't be sorry.
Rating: Summary: Christmas Gift... Would have picked a different camera Review: It is a nice camera, just don't recommend for concert photos, nighttime photos, or pictures of items far away. Disappointed with the clarity of the pictures. An example: my husband and I tried to take a few pictures of some people, they were 6 feet away from the camera and it was so fuzzy that you could hardly see the face. for the money we paid we could have gotten something better and more worth while.
Rating: Summary: Christmas Gift Review: I have an Olympus camera with many of the same specs as this one. I bought this for my daughter, and we are a little disappointed. It uses only 2 AA batteries instead of 4 in my other camera, and pictures we took with it at night outside are very dark. My pictures turned out fine... For that reason, I wouldn't recommend buying this camera. I'd say spend a little more and go with Olympus.

Rating: Summary: My 13 year old has taken over 500 photos so far! Review: HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I bought this for myself to sell a few things on e-bay. Plus I was sick of the expense of developing bad photos. My daughter snagged it the 1st day. Of course, she didn't need to read the directions (at all). She had the camera taking photos in 1 minute. My only request of her was to always wear the wristband..and NOT to drop it. I loaded the software and took the 15 minutes to understand it. that was it. Beautiful pictures for what we need. She has taken hundreds, me probably 50. All are very good!! EASY TO USE, pretty clear up close detail . We are very happy with the overall. When I first bought it I had the idea that someday I'd get a better one. Now I see no reason (for me anyhow) I got a Ray 0 Vac (from wal-mart) 1 hour battery charger and 4 1800 nimh batteries. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We are never without power so far. I would like to get one for her to take on her summer vacation with her Dad. and a 32mb or 64mb card. I want to keep mine (?) for summer too. We shall see who gets to use it this summer. She LOVES IT. Sandyj
Rating: Summary: Great buy Review: I had to buy a camera on short notice, so I didn't have much time to shop around. However, I think this was one of the best choices I could have made. The optical zoom is far better than the more common digital zooms offered on most cameras. Picture quality is great, and I think I can finally retire my old trusty 35mm SLR for most purposes. You can use the viewer or the LCD for lining up your shots, and I've gotten good results from both. You can pan and zoom the images stored on the memory card, to make sure the shot is good down to the pixel. Downloading pictures is easy, as with most modern cameras, and you can even set it up as a live camera for videoconferencing. The "xD" memory cards are *tiny* little things - I hope they don't get much smaller to this or they'll be too easy to loose - and the 128MB card will hold 200+ 1600x1200 "fine-quality" pictures. What are it's weaknesses? It does not perform quite as well in low-light as I expected it to, and because of it's small size and low weight it is not easy to hold still - but with the flash on it is better than most cameras I've seen. For most people, this is probably only a problem when using the video mode and the webcam mode, where it cannot use the flash. The odd way of having to open the sliding lens cover *and* turn on the camera is taking some time to get used to. The menus are rather odd but not too hard to learn. The memory cards are unique to only a few camera brands, so they may be more expensive than others; and lastly, it loads into the camera in the battery compartment, which I thought was an odd placement. It's by no means the best digital camera money can buy, but for the price point, I think this is the best value I've seen.
Rating: Summary: i really like this camera... cheap, and handy.. Review: I always wanted to have a little camera that fits in my pocket (or knapsack) that goes everywhere.. my SLR is always a production to drag around... so this is the answer to being able to snap that beautiful cloud formation or sunset on the spur of the moment.. I love the fact that it only takes 2 batteries. I have read other people's reviews about it eating batteries, but heck, maybe I just don't leave it on except to snap the pix after I line up the shot, so haven't had that problem yet. I did get the 128 card, probably because I know what it is to run out of film on my SLR camera, and then find a gorgeous shot - that ended up missed, but I have yet to fill up this card.. maybe when I do a long holiday trip.. This is fun for quick shots (you can even do a self portrait real easy) to send to friends in emails (yes, this is me now with orange hair!).. The cable to download to computer comes with camera. Do get the adapter (to plug in for power - esp good for re-viewing what you shot, and for downloading). I lamented not findin one in stores I knew of... then looked on the fuji.com website.. man, you can find supplies worldwide! I found the adapter at a dinky little foto shop in a little strip mall that's almost on my way home from work.. so do get it - well worthwhile... :) have fun!
