Summary: Fujifilm refuses to stand behind their product.
Review: I've owned this camera for 18 months now. Almost immediately, I noticed small, translucent spots on some pictures taken in certain lighting conditions. I looked at the lens under magnification (40x) and saw foreign matter on the inside of the lens. I contacted Fujifilm who told me to send it to them (prepaid of course). I enclosed a note for the technician explaining the problem, however, when the camera was returned 4 weeks later, it was in the same condition as when I sent it in, except the exterior of the camera had been cleaned by the Fujifilm technician. When I called Fujifilm about this, the supervisor told me these spots are a common occurance. He claims the lens is SO good, it will actually "see" dust on the exterior of the lens. He also told me it is impossible for dust or other foreign matter to be on the inside of the lens. I have a camera and dozens of pictures which disprove this "claim." The camera is ok for a point and shoot, but the warranty is worthless.

Summary: I loved it
Review: My hushband bought me this camera for my birthday and its great. At first we had trouble with the batteries running out too fast, but we bought some better rechargable batteries, and haven't had any problems since. I've had bad experiences with some cheaper digital cameras, that only have 1 pixel. The pictures were came out really blurry on the computer, and werent even worth printing. It's worth the extra money for the 2.1 pixels!!! I take this camera with me everwhere...I highly recomend it!!!

Summary: Big Bargain
Review: Nice photos for a very good price, a big bargain for a 2,1 Mpixel camara - Some troubles with the lens that can easy to get grooves. This is a very reliable equipment with fast and close-up captures.

Summary: Good camera for the price
Review: Overall, I am happy with the quality and ease of use with this camera. Features are easy to learn/use. Quality of most pictures is very good. USB cable makes downloading a breeze. I am looking at my pictures in 30 seconds. I also like the wide range of print quality you can chose from which offers flexibility. The 8MB card included is not bad for just starting out. If you only want pics to email or show on a computer screen, you can fit quite a lot on this little card. If you want print quality though, pick up a 32 or 64MB card and save yourself the hassle. Negatives: I got this camera because it has a macro lens (close ups) - a feature hard to find on an inexpensive camera. While the macro feature produces OK close-ups, they are still pretty poor when compared to to macro shots with a traditional camera. Still good in a pinch though or when you don't need perfection. This camera EATS batteries. I am not getting even HALF to the number of shots for the battery life according to the manual so I am debating whether the camera is defective. The cost of batteries could quickly offset any savings on film and processing. I may have to invest in rechargeables.

Summary: Perfect
Review: Perfect! Thats the best way to describe this camera. Like most adults I know I was technologically impaired so to speak. Then I got this as a gift. This is a fact, i didn't use my old camera again. This thing is amazing. It isn't to high tech, nor is it to pricy. This camera has only 2 drawbacks, and one of those can be fixed. The first is that although it seems light, once you put in the smartmedia card and the 4 AA batteries it becomes quite heavy. The other drawback is that if you regular baatteries it will finsh them before you know it. But that can be fixed easily by buying rechargable batteries. Other than that this camera is great. It changed the way i took pictures forever. And it is very first-timer friendly. All in all buy this camera, it doesn't get much better than this!!

Summary: FujiFilm FinePix 2300 -- A Great Value in Digital Cameras
Review: The FujiFilm FinePix 2300 is an all-around great value if you're looking for a high-resolution, 2.1 megapixel CCD 1600x1200 max digital camera. The 5.8mm (36mm equivalent) focus is excellent; you get a sharp, detailed image, even in 640x480 low-resolution. The 2.5X digital zoom is only functional in low-resolution mode (640x480) but this camera takes really nice pictures even in low-resolution. The 8MB SmartMedia card can store up to 89 images at 640x480. If you invest in a 128MB SmartMedia card, you can store 1,330 images at 640x480 (or 166 images at 1600x1200 fine resolution). Overall, it's a really easy-to-use camera. I took it out on many trips so far and I find it very responsive and able to take sharp pictures on-the-fly, even while in the car moving 80+ miles-per-hour. The FujiFilm software to upload your images through the camera's USB interface is quick and easy. The price is right too!

Summary: Great camera! Highly recomended!
Review: This camera for the person who want variety in picture quality, for either use on the internet, or printing pictures. The resolution is great, even on the lowest resolution setting, I get beautiful prints.The only complaint I do have is that this camera EATS batteries, so when able I recommend using an adapter to plug in for when you are downloading images to your computer to save on battery life. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Summary: Great price for a good camera
Review: This camera is inexpensive but still manages to take great pictures. Sure, you could spend a lot more for a camera that is a lot more high-tech, but if you just want a camera to learn on and experiment with or just take fun family snaps, then this camera would be great. My husband actually won a photo contest with a 5x7 photo taken on an older model of this camera (printed on an HP printer). Pros: low cost, easy to use, easy to figure out how to take good photos, takes good enough quality photos to replace your film camera (if you're ready for that... I'm not quite there). Cons: memory card pretty small if you want to take high quality pics (We got a bigger memory card--available on costco.com--so we could take many pictures at high quality settings.), slow upload to your computer using serial cable (we got a SmartMedia drive that hooks up to our USB port and is lightning quick), lower picture quality capability than many (more expensive) cameras on the market, and batteries are used up fairly quickly IF (and only if) you use the display mode to take pictures with (but this isn't necessary at all for good pictures). These days, most digital cameras really aren't that horrible , and this camera is lightyears better than the super-spendy cameras that were out three years ago. This camera would be great for someone who wants a camera for casual use, or for pictures for their website, or even regular pictures that won't be blown up much larger than 5x7. We take pictures with abandon now, not worrying about how much film we have left, not worrying if a shot is going to be a throw-away (you can delete it right on the camera, anyway), and we have gotten some truly beautiful and priceless shots just using this camera. If you're not a professional photographer, why spend thousands when you can get this camera at a great price?
