Rating: Summary: Great camera Review: This is a great camera for the price. I was looking for a camera with movie mode (I don't own a digital camcorder), and really wanted sound with it. I didn't need a ton of manual options. I wasn't planning on printing 8x10's or larger, so 3 megapixels and up wasn't necessary. I was turned off by Sony's proprietary media. When it came down to it, it was between the Canon S200 and the Fugi 2800. The only pluses for the Canon was the sturdier body (metal) and the small size. But the 2X optical zoom was worthless.I like the 4AA's over other batteries, because in a pinch, I can find them anywhere. I bought some rechargeable NiMH and am all set. The 6X optical zoom is great. After having it, I wouldn't consider another camera without it. The only thing I can bash on the camera is the size and the plastic body. It is a little bigger than some cameras, but a small price to pay for the zoom. After a few weeks, I got over the plastic body, but I still worry about dropping it. Get a USB card reader with this (~$30), and you don't need to use the camera to download pic's.
Rating: Summary: Great camera for anyone!! Review: This is our first digital camera and we love it. The 6X zoom has allowed us to take some outstanding vivid pictures of birds at the feeder and closeup of flowers and people. The colors are vibrant and true. We are happy with our decision to add 128 mb card and NiMH rechargable batteries ($20 for 8 batteries and charger at SAMS). The only disappointment was that the camera bag recommended by Tamarac does not fit the camera and we had to return it.
Rating: Summary: Can a camera be your best friend? Review: The Answer is yes. This thing is great! Low light, bright light, moving ( a great feature, 4 shots in 2 sec, cool!) still, clooooooose, far, any thing you want! And you get to see your photos after too. The only complaint extends to all Digital cameras with LCDs, you need to shovel in AA's (I left mine on for a few hrs and it ate 4 new ones) put it on powersave and buy some rechargeables.
Rating: Summary: I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!! Review: Where can I start? This camera is an EXCELLENT product! I was apprehensive because 1) I'd had such trouble with complicated hard-to-use techno gear and software, and 2) this was going to be my first digital camera and I wanted to have FUN, not be driven nuts by trying to slog through complications. I had really enjoyed photography years ago on a good 35mm camera. I did a lot of comparisons, and this Fiji just seemed to come out on top for what I wanted to spend. Yet I just HAD to go to a store to try it out first-hand. Boy, was I impressed!! I picked up a display and the controls are so sensibily designed that I was using it-no problem-in just a minute or two. I even took a mini-video on it. (A great feature I haden't even counted on.) Another feature that sold me on this camera was the 6x optical zoom--a must-have feature for creative photography. The sales guy recommended I get a transfer device, and I'm glad I did. You put the memory card in it and download the pics into your computer. (I got one called "Dazzle" and it's a snap.) I also bought a 128MB Smart Card for more memory. If, like me, this is your first digital (or you're upgrading) I COULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA MORE HIGHLY! I hope this review was helpful to you. Now I'm going back to having more fun with my new camera!
Rating: Summary: Easy to use!! Review: I work in a camera store ,so I'm always playing with the new items that come in. Fuji's line of digital cameras is great!! They are so user -friendly that I can take one right out of the box and start using it without even having to read the instruction book! Everything is right there on the viewing screen! The 2800 also feels great in your hand! Has a good grip on it! But most important, the pictures from it are more true-to life color than from most other brands of digital cameras! Prices are affordable,too!!
Rating: Summary: what i thought Review: When I got my camera i knew it was a 6X zoom, but after reading the booklet which explained everything i knew how to do everything. I'm not that into electronics but I use them in my daily life a lot. So, when my mom got me this camera so i could take it on my upcoming trip i was thrilled. The only downside the batteries finish quickly, but the pictures are efficient.
Rating: Summary: Exceptional Camera Review: No long review here. This is an exceptional camera. Pictures are near perfect, feature set is better than most in its class, battery life is best I've had in any digital camera, weight is perfect, zoom is great, etc etc etc Only 1 bad point: The viewfinder has a hard time in the dark - still takes pics though...
Rating: Summary: Best Camera for the Money Review: This is my 2nd Digital Camera. My first was a polaroid. Awful! And I paid more for it then I did this one. I couldn't even print pics because they were not clear and could only be printed in snapshot size. The Fuji finepix 2800 is great.IT has awesome image quality. It has one of the best zooms in its price range, you can take movies 60secs long with sound. This is one of the few cameras even close to this price that you can take movies that long and it has sound. The lcd and viewfinder are both color . You can take pics that can be printed into 8x10's. You can add voice captioning to pics.Its easy to set up and use. As for the Eve /LCd screen , I haven't had any problem with lighting in my house and I didn't turn on the lights during the day or open blinds and I had no problem using the lcd screen. Now the movies still turn out good but I do reccommend some lighting when shooting those. Another great feature is it is also a webcam. The last digital camera I bought cost more then this one plus I had to pay for a webcam separate. Its like getting a webcam for free. The sound quality is great for the movie footage and voice captioning. I love this camera! I shopped around for a couple of months online and instore and kept coming back to this camera! I also really liked the added software . The adobe photo deluxe is a great ,easy to use, picture software , plus the 2800 also includes Video Impression for your home movies. You can add animated screens, sound effects, edit and organize your movies, and mail or store them all with Video Impression. This is the best camera package you can get for the money. Oh and I bought rechargeble batteries , [price] for a set of 4 AA. I also got a charger for [price]. Rechargeable batteries are a great asset to any digital camera owner . The only other thing I would have liked to have seen for this camera is a camera case/bag. I do think that should have been included but other then that I couldn't ask for anymore!
Rating: Summary: awesome camera......awesome zoom Review: i just bought the fuji finepix 2800, is the best camera you can find for 400$, the zoom is great, the closest competitor is the olympus C-700 the price of the olympus is higher, as well as the zoom is bigger, but the rest of the camera is pretty much the same : 2.1 mp, video&sound, size etc.... so if you are thinking in buying a digital camera, I highly recommend this one.
Rating: Summary: Fuji finepix 2800 Review: After using the camera, the labels on the buttons like "Power", "Back", "Display", "Menu" are all gone. I guess the sweat on my palms erased all of the labels. The words "Finepix", "2800 Zoom", have faded. It lacks an AV out, the 6x zoom is useful but lacks image stabilization. I'll try the Canon A40 if given the chance.
