Summary: Review from Photo Educator
Review: The reviews preceeding mine were good; this is an excellent camera which I own myself, but I want to add comments about the camera's interpolated 4.3 Megapixal resolution.
Interpolation is a method of increasing image resolution by "inventing" computer generated pixels based on samples of neighboring pixels in the lower resolution image. To my knowledge, only Fuji uses it in a camera. I think interpolation should be avoided since all it does is add "garbage" pixels and use up storage space. Today's high resolution printers interpolate "on the fly" to allow for the printing of a lower resolution image at the printer's maximum resolution. It is really unnecessary to do this on the image level. When I first bought my camera I compared the camera's 4.32 meg image with an identical 2.4 meg image interpolated to 4.32 by Photoshop, and finally a third "straight" 2.4 meg image, all printed on an Epson 5500 printer. There was no significant difference. I shoot all my pictures in the 2.4 Mp "fine" mode.

Summary: Won't need another digital for years
Review: The size of the camera and the quality of the pics make this a camera I'll carry everywhere. I've been a Nikon owner for 40 years (!) and have published in LIFE, Newsweek, Stern, books and so forth, so I'm a fussy guy.The 4800 delivers, and it replaces a tape recorder as well!
The FinePix software is astonishing. It does more and does it more easily than any of the similar products -- and I've tried six different software/image products. Learning the camera takes more than a few hours, but after that it's very easy and doesn't disappoint. Fuji needs to provide a case, however, and figure out if the strap on it is for a wrist or a neck. It's too large for one and too small for the other, but I've already bought a small case and another strap ..., so we're not talking about a major pain here. If it holds up for a few years I'll be more than satisfied because I like this machine more and more every day. It's just hard to get used to carrying such a small package that produces first-rate pictures.

Summary: Nice, but I don't like it to perfection
Review: This camera is a really good one, nice and small and it rarely ever gets messed up. But I don't like it 100% because of certain quirks it has, but that's just me. You should definetely get this camera if you just want a nice small camera that works well and won't let you down. There are other cameras one might want over this one, but definetely use this one to compare as well.

Summary: I love the Fuji 4800
Review: This is an amazing camera!! There are so many options and cool things you can do with it. I took a pic at the highest resolution, and uploaded it to ofoto.com, and it recommended the picture be printed at 20"X30"!! This is huge! This is the biggest print they will make from digital photos. This cameras price range seems very reasonable to have resolution like this. Granted, I haven't actually seen the 20X30, but whenever ofoto has recommended things to me before, they were perfect. At least I know an 8X10 will be amazing...

Summary: Excellent camera for medium-level consumers
Review: This is my first digital camera and was the model I arrived at after nearly 2 months of research. It is small, has excellent image quality for a 2.4 MP camera, has very good battery life (I can shoot for a whole weekend with limited LCD usage on one charge). Hey, the price was right too (note that Amazon isn't always the lowest ;-). There are plenty of more detailed reviews out there so I'll just summarize that I'm very happy with my purchase nearly 300 photos later. I bought a tripod last week and have been having great success with very low light and panorama shots and the small size of this camera means I take it everywhere. Unless your needs are high-end (i.e. you need 3+ MP count, lens adapter, external flash socket and total manual control), you won't be unhappy with the 4800.

Summary: Space Age Look and Feel.........And Yes, Awesome Photos!
Review: This is probably the best looking digital camera around. Its stainless steel body feels heavy duty and very professionally made. The body was designed by Porsche. The pictures turn out awesome to say the least. But for (this price) they should! There is so many gadgets on this camera that even a professional would have fun learning them all. A novice would be overwelmed with this camera. The photos are brilliant and have up to 4.3 megapixels at its highest resolution. You also can choose 2.4 megapixel, 1 megapixel and the small standard 480x640 resolution. You can also choose between fine, normal and soft for about 10 different photo choices. The camera lets you also make it black and white, soft portrait and many other "scene" formats. This camera does not get 5 stars though. The price is probably about $100 too high, the cool looking design is somewhat harder to hold than a standard looking camera and the battery takes 5 hours to recharge but does last a long time. Not even mentioning that the 16 meg smart media card is way to small for a camera of this magnitute. Get 128 meg card at Costco... and you can literally put almost 2000 photos onto this camera at the small size and about 70 of the 4 megapixel photos on it. I tell you- technology is awesome! All in all though I am very happy with it. It gets my rave reviews even with its few shortcomings! Fuji - keep up the good work.

Summary: we love this camera!
Review: We are constantly amazed at the image quality. It is especially good at macro imaging...it does a little less well in low light...would suggest using tripod for low-light situations. The size is perfect. When the power is off, it is just a small steel box that fits perfectly in my pocket. There are no worries about scratching the lens or a knob breaking off. GREAT DESIGN! The pics that we have printed onto paper are truly picture perfect. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a camera that trvels well and has unlimited possibilities! Our favorite features:
BLACK AND WHITE!
Multiple exposure!
Macro...extreme close ups show amazing detail!
Smart Media (we have three 64 MB cards and can take about 300 photos without downloading to the computer.)
PRICE!

Summary: Excellent Camera!
Review: Well, I purchased this camera while stationed in Kuwait, used it over there, and back in the states. Contrary to some peoples beliefs, this camera is the best camera I have had my grubby little paws on ever. Everything about this camera is great. The instruction manual is mildly lengthy, but if you want to use the camera at its fullest potential, reading it is a must. Great picture quality. I have printed out 8 x 10's and they look incredible, this also being used with a good printer. Outdoor shots, indoor shots, close up shots, backlighting; this camera does it all. It does seem to become mildly testy though when there is a low light situation and you aren't using a flash. It is very sensitive to movement then and 9 times out of 10 your picture will not come out probably as clear as you would like, which is why you are supposed to use the flash. Overall, great camera, and definitely worth the cash tossed down to acquire it.
