Rating: Summary: nice camera, eats batteries Review: The only downsides are that it eats batteries and the software that comes with it is of average quality. It feels like it has good build quality, not a cheap peice of plastic.
Rating: Summary: 2nd Review Review: I mentioned before that this camera GNAWS on batteries...that is if you use alkaline batteries. Using standard alkaline batteries, you will only get 14 shots AT BEST, probably 12 shots on average. However, I have recently made the switch to NiMH batteries (as the user manual even suggests) and I have taken about 45 shots. What's even better than that is that the NiMH batteries are still going strong after 45 shots w/o signs of needing replacement. The ... that I spent on a charger and 2 pair of batteries has already paid for itself. Bottom line: get NiMH batteries for this camera.
Rating: Summary: EATS UP YOUR BATTERIES Review: While the quality of the pictures and the features of this camera are great, as other reviewers have mentioned, it eats up batteries like nothing I've ever seen before. I take about 6 pictures using the display and I have no battery left! Then, the moment you hook it up to your computer, it uses up the entire the battery. I called FUJI and they said "Sorry, that's just how it is." (Also, the software included is very poorly designed.)
Rating: Summary: Nice Camera - Great Value Review: This is our first digital camera. The camera is great, and the pictures are wonderful, but the speed it kills the batteries is insane! We went though the batteries that came with it in less than 20 minutes, and then it chomped down a new pair of Alkaline AA's in less than 5 minutes and we could not download our pictures from it fast enough. We just purchased a set of NI-MH rechargeable AA's and hopefully that will help solve the problem. This cameras software works great on our Macintosh and its very user friendly. The camera is very basic and simple to use. Overall, I think it was a good value so I gave it 4 stars. It would have 5 stars if it could use its batteries more efficiently.
Rating: Summary: Great Bang for the Buck Review: I own an Olympus Digital Camera and needed to get a camera for my Mom that was very easy to use and download. I figured out most of the basic features without looking at the owner's manual, so I figured she could master it with the owner's manual. I especially like the 20 second video recording feature. I was just very pleased with the whole package (camera, film, cables, manuals, cds, etc...). Nicely packaged.
Rating: Summary: Una compra a un precio justo! Review: Hace poco tiempo compre dos camaras de este modelo, FinePix A101, y la verdad que ha resultado un buena compra a un precio justo. Si bien es cierto que no posee características técnicas extraordinarias, tiene ciertas ventajas, como el tiempo que se tarda en bajar las fotos, el cual es sumamente rápido. Además, el tamaño de la camara es conveniente para llevarla a cualquier parte, y con respecto al gasto en baterias, no es tan grande como pensaba, de acuerdo a otros comentarios de usuarios. Si se tienen baterías recargables éstas durarán un buen tiempo. En general, para el precio de esta cámara no se puede pedir más.
Rating: Summary: Nice starter camera, skip the accessories Review: I bought this camera for my girlfriend - she's never used a digital camera before and she had no probs with it at all. I've used many different models and the A101 is one of the most intuitive to use, and the photos look good. Perhaps not the best camera available, but it's damn good value for the money.We haven't tried the Fuji software (we've got photoshop, iMovie, etc. so we're not interested in the Fuji stuff) but with the USB connection it just plugs into our Mac and mounts on the desktop as a disc - easy as pie - just copy the images to the computer and that's it. Words of warning - don't try to trash the files on the camera through your computer - crash! On the downside, it eats batteries like mad (it only uses two, not the typical four) and the optional digital camera accesory kit is not worth the money and in my case the rechargable batteries and charger were faulty.
Rating: Summary: All you need for snapshots Review: Never thought I would write a review about anything, but I must really recomend this great product. In fareness the fifth star I put there for the price. Not very often I'm very satisfied with a buy but with this one I'am. It gives nice 5x7 prints with good colour and sharpness, it's very easy to handle and it's small. Seems like it is pretty well put together too, it fell out of my hands a week after I got it, into a cement floor and it still works just as good. I think I'll buy one more !! There is one problem and that is, don't even think of using alkalines, buy rechargeable batteries. And thats it.
Rating: Summary: Nice Review: This is a basic camera that is easy to learn on. The features are easy to access and it takes great pictures. A great "starter" camera. I wish it came with an AC adaptor.
Rating: Summary: Impresionante Review: Tengo que decir, si bien esperaba bastante de la camara, esta realmente me sorprendio. La calidad de las fotos es increible (en normal, imaginense en fine), conectarse al computador es muy facil y rapido. El sensor de luz es muy bueno, asi las fotos (hasta ahora) no me salen ni oscuras ni sobreexpuestas y lo mas importante muy nitidas. Las baterias son un problema (asi son todas las camaras digitales) pero se soluciona facilmente con baterias recargables. En resumen yo creo que vale mas de lo uno paga por ella
