Summary: Great pictures
Review: This camera is simple enough to use as a point-and-shoot yet has many advanced features. The color and clarity of images is superb. It does well in low-light situations although the built-in flash will usually improve the picture.My only complaints are the irritatingly short battery life (buy a spare battery and the optional battery charger - it shortens charge time to a mere hour!) and the shutter lag. It is almost impossible to snap a good shot of my 3 year-old who can't stand still. Addendum: This is now my camera of choice. It takes much better pics than either of my 35mm cameras. Like any digital camera, however, it still doesn't work well with fast-moving subjects because of the shutter lag.

Summary: Killer Camera!
Review: This camera is well worth the money. The images are super sharp and it takes pictures as big as 15.3 megabytes!

Summary: This is a 5 Star (PLUS) Camera Without Sound
Review: This camera shoots perfection. The manual controls are fantastic and the video quality is as good as it gets. I have been shooting an Olympus and The FD 93 Mavica. The Fuji 4900 out performs them hands down. However the major dissapointment was perfect video AND NO SOUND! O.K. it is a "still" camera but with the video capibilitty sound would have been the right move. If you do not care about sound or voice overs for for commerical work or talking captions buy this camera....I truly wish I would have waited a generation and got the sound feature. The Fuji FinePix 4900 is a greater than 5 star camera as such but I gave it 4 stars because Fuji dropped the ball in regard to the sound.

Summary: Better be computer savvy
Review: This camera takes some really great pictures and videos BUT, if you aren't a computer whiz, you better know someone that is to download the .avi video files because neither the owners manual nor the software users guide mention ANYTHING relative to getting the .avi videos on your hard drive to save them.
Installation of the camera and viewer software is a breeze but after that, your on your own to figure out saving videos.
Something that is not mentioned in advertising is that theres a warning in the owners manual about using it in the desert(which is where I live,LOL). Oh well we shall see.

Summary: Outstanding Digital Camera
Review: This Fuji FinePix 4900 is an outstanding digital camera. This is the first digital camera that I have owned and it was so easy to use, and download the pictures to my computer. The only thing that I would sugest to go along with this great camera is one additional battery, 128mb smart card, and the carrying case. If you take the 30 minutes to read the owners manual you will be snapping pictures in 30 minutes. The battery actually lasted longer than some of the other reviews suggested. I am so happy that I was able to find this camera on Amazon ...

Summary: Pleasantly surprised in Seattle..
Review: Wow. I knew I was getting a powerful camera. What I didn't understand is that I was getting the best, too. I was the last of my closest friends to get a digital camera -- and now I have the envy of the pack. While they're busy replacing batteries -- I'm still shooting, thanks to the "video camera" style of battery. Just plug in the camera, with the supplied A/C cable, and shot until nightfall. I haven't run out of juice yet! I used a pretty high resolution my first time out... I could see the pores of my daughters arms, in focus, with perfect clarity. It might have TOO good of resolution. Get this camera, and skip the little point and shoots. This baby turns heads, and does amazing work to boot!
