Rating: Summary: Perfect Mid-Priced Camera Review: I bought the Kodak DC 3200 and sold it because it over exposed pictures that where too close. The Fuji FinePix A101 is by far one of the finest camera's. It is very small and fits in your pocket compared to other cheaper brands that are bulky and large. The LCD screen looks choppy in dim light but trust me the pictures although look choppy in the display they are excellently clear and sharp when you display them on your PC. The over exposure problem I had with the Kodak from the flash with pictures taken at close range is now a thing of the past. The A101 takes pictures up close and although they may seem over exposed in the LCD they are premium quality when you view them on your PC. I would recommend this camera to anyone. I've even suggested it to family members telling them that I would buy it from them if they did not like it. I'm that sure that you will like it. This is most certainly not a camera for a professional or expert user. I would rate this camera a beginner to novice user level.
Rating: Summary: Nice pics but..... Review: ...it drains batteries. I've taken about 10 pics and on my 3rd set of batteries. Apparently, when I used it as a PC cam for about 10 minutes, the batteries ran out. I suggest ordering rechargeable batteries and an AC power cord. I still haven't figured out how to download the pics from the camera to the computer. I'll try when the cord comes in. Batteries are getting expensive.
Rating: Summary: Great digital camera - low price Review: Very well designed, full feature, really small digital camera at a very low price. 1.3 megapixels great for computer display and good for regular sized printed photos. Has many many high end features. Uses cheap AA batteries (not long lived, however). Available ac converter. Requires USB (with windows 98, 2000 or ME) computer to download to PC. Exceptionally easy to use. Has close-up macro facility (can take photos of regular text on a page). Bottom line - a really well-designed digital camera
Rating: Summary: Great camera! Review: I've had this camera for close to 2 and a half years. It has put up with all my abuse, rain, rocks and snow. I have no idea what the settings do. I keep everything on auto and come out with great pictures, just point and shoot. It's a great entry-level camera. I have rechargable batteries and they last a lot longer than disposables. I'm in the process of picking out a new digital camera. I'm looking for more megapixels and an optical zoom. I absolutely love that there is almost no delay from when you press the button to when the picture is snapped. I'm worried that I won't be able to find a fancier camera that takes the picture right away. This camera is so easy to use and practical. I would recommend it to anyone who isn't interested in optical zoom or more megapixels.
Rating: Summary: $100 Very Well Spent Review: I LOVE this camera! I have owned it for almost 2 years now and use it all the time. Last Christmas I thought I wanted to upgrade so I bought a 3 megapixel Kodak camera and ended up returning it because it wasn't as good as my 1.3 megapixel Fuji. This camera takes wonderful macro pictures which is essential if you sell online, the Kodak took lousy macro pictures. The Kodak also did this weird double flash thing so when I tried to take pictures of my cats I always got them with their eyes closed. I have no trouble at all with my Fuji. One flash and you've got the picture. I tell you, If I ever did decide to upgrade it would definitely be a Fuji.
The pictures from this camera are fabulous! I use it for e-mail pictures, prints, and online auction pictures. It's great for all of those. When I got my camera I had in mind to mostly use it for auction pictures but it turned out to be even more useful than that. I take tons of pictures of friends, family, and my pets. Then I e-mail pictures to those friends and family. I also make prints (sometimes through an online / store service sometimes at home with the printer) for scrapbboking and they very good. I will admit that if you look really close they aren't as good as prints from a film camera, but I find the convenience of the digital worth it.
All in all, if you only have about $100 to spend on a digital camera I HIGHLY reccomend this one!!!

Rating: Summary: Still a good camera... Review: I've had this camera for a couple years now, and I'm still quite pleased with it. At it's prime, it was one of the smallest cameras around. However, that size does come with a price. IE, lack of features. There is no zoom(only 2x digital, and can only be used in VGA mode) fixed focus, and very few manual settings. However, the camera still is quite good. Pictures are pretty good. If you have ample light, they are wonderful. If it's dim, you get yellowish colors. This can usally be somewhat corrected with software. The one major problem i've had with mine is the selector swith is giving out. Many times as I'm composing a shot, it'll flip back to preview mode. People might also have problems finding cards now of days, as it uses Smart Media cards(NOT Smart Digital) All in all, a great point and shoot camera. Great if you don't have time to fiddle with focusing and such...
Rating: Summary: Eh. So-so. Review: This is a great little camera. It's very small and portable, it's easy to use, and it takes a pretty good picture. What it lacks in fancy functions it makes up for in its fun, simple form. I'm not a professional photographer so I don't care what the "f-stop" is doing, I just want to be able to take pictures of stuff and look at them on my PC. The software is pretty good, and pretty easy to install or uninstall. I used it on Windows Millennium with surprising success, but Windows 2000 seems to detect when the camera is connected to the USB cable more reliably. As far as the functionality of the FinePix software, it's pretty basic, but once again, I don't think I'll be doing a lot of editing; most of the pictures turn out looking pretty good to me. The memory that comes with the camera is pretty wimpy; you can get a 128MB card very reasonably and have tons of room for jpegs and mpegs. Even though it's pretty easy on batteries, a stock of rechargeables is a good idea.
Rating: Summary: Very good at daytime, bad at night-time Review: This is a very nice entry level digital camera. It is excellent to use at day time with ample lights. BUT, at night time you will see some white spots like snowflakes. So if you are looking for something to use just to get average pictures this is a very good one, very compact and easy to use.
