Summary: Very Easy and Great Pictures
Review: I haven't put the camera down since I got it! It is very easy to use and takes great photos. One of the best things is that it only takes 2 AA batteries. The movie feature is also fun and the software lets you make small movies that you can add music to. All this without hardly reading the instruction manual! The camera is also very small and sturdy and you can buy bigger cards so it can hold more photos & movies - but it easily downloads so you probably won't need one.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: I loved the camera, and the pictures are great. Its small, compact, and very attractive! Uploading the pictures is so easy, its a joy to do. Make sure you get good recharable batteries. It loves batteries, and its simply a pain in the neck. GET GOOOOD BATTERIES! Well, I love the pictures and I know that with this camera its easy to post pics on eBay, keeping in touch with faraway friends and family, and of coarse, memories. Buy it!

Review: I recieved this camera as an x-mas present and i love it. the picture quality and so are the movies.I had a little trouble instlling the drivres but called tech support and they fixed the problem.The camera can also doubbles as a web cam.to get a clear picture when you are using it as a web cam you need lots of light.I purchased a set of Leap rechargable battries and they last forever even with the LCD on.I wish this camera had a burst mode.overall I am very pleased with the camera

Summary: Great entry-level digital camera
Review: I saw this camera on Tech TV's spot on digital cameras under $200, and was excited to see it got a very good review. While I was not really in the market for a digicam, I just went for it being I do not own a camera and I needed one for an upcoming event.

I am happy I did. The camera works very well. Pictures look great, both indoors and out. The interface is simple to use and taking pictures is a breeze, even for beginners.

Lucky for me I have several SmartMedia cards laying around from my old MP3 player. With an 128M card I can take 997 pictures at lowest resolution/lowest quality or 166 pictures at highest resolution/highest quality. I figure 166 pictures is like five rolls of film so I just jack up the settings to high and get great pics, perfect for printing, then resize them if I want to post them on the web or send them in email.

The only compliant I have is night shots. I live outside of Manhattan and wanted to take some shots of the skyline. Unfortunately even with in nighttime mode, the shots of the skyline we blurry. You need a very steady hand or a tripod to work with the slow shutter speed of nighttime mode. Also this camera lacks optical zoom, still you would be hard pressed to find a digital camera for under $200 that offers it. The camera does offer digital zoom, but to be honest, digital zoom is a gimmick.

Bottom line, if you are looking for a inexpensive digital camera, this is it. If you want a professional level camera, you are going to have to spend more but you will get more features like optical zoom.

Summary: great little camera
Review: I was looking for a digital camera and wanted to use one that allowed me to get to the taking of pictures. Later I will move on to a more complicated one. Anyway I disagree with all of you who did not like the software. I use software all the time and this is the first photo software that did what I want. I agree with all the good things said before in other reviews. If anything is wrong it is the drain on regular batteries so I bought the rechargeable ones. The fact I could use the camera as a pc cam was an unexpected plus. I think the main use of the camera is for doing e-mail, short videos and taking photos of people or things you want to display on the net. I would never expect to shoot a long shot to a stage as one person did. When you consider the size and all the features Fuji has packed into it, what a buy! Most of all I like that it slips into my pocket.

Summary: Incredibly reliable--i love this thing!
Review: i've had this camera for little over half a year now, and i love it! i've been an on-and-off amateur photographer for about 5 years now, and this is my third camera, first digital. To those who complain about the "flimsy" chassis, i suggest you walk around with a solid, magnesium-cased samsung in your backpack for an afternoon. i guarantee that you and your lower back will appreciate the light plastic shell. and to those who complain about the battery life, BUY A PAIR OF RECHARGABLE BATTERIES! or better yet, buy two pairs; you'll still save money! overall, when paired with photoshop, this camera makes for one heck of a camera. i should know--it's picture quality and convience is the envy of all my friends who're stuck with 35mms!
::By the way, i forgot to mention the price, which is bargain-basement for such picture quality!::

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK, but no zoom, flimsy and a battery-guzzler!
Review: OK for the price, but its Made-in-China origin shows quite well in the less-than-solid body and finish.

The biggest issue is the lack of zoom for picture-taking -- a major disadvantage, particularly compared to other products in its category!

Summary: Good, no-fuss beginner camera but indoor pics are blurry
Review: On the plus side, the Fuji FinePix A201 2.1MP Digital Camera is light weight, easy to use, fits right in your pocket and downloads quickly. The short (30-second) soundless movies are also a neat bonus, but will quickly fill the 16MB smart media card.

To make it practical, I recommend visiting your local electronics store to pick up 4 NiMH rechargeables with a recharger, a fairly inexpensive upgrade, but very worthwhile. If you plan to use the camera away from your PC for any period of time (like on vacation), I would then recommend one or more 128 MB SmartMedia Cards and a Viking RFLREAD/U USB IntelliFlash Reader to download your pics when you get back.

The downside of this camera is its tendency to take blurry indoor pics. Its flash is often inadequate and the darker it is, the blurrier it gets. I haven't found a very satisfactory solution to this yet, but in bright light, the photos are great. I would recommend investigating the higher price alternatives before making this choice.

Summary: Small, fast and nicely priced
Review: Pro's:
Small: Fits easily in my pocket.
Fast : This camera is very fast. I've seen camera's that whet turned on take excruciatingly long before they are ready. And that is very anoying when that special moment you want to capture sometimes just lasts a few seconds.
Sturdy: It has few movable parts (no optical zoomlens!). Has a good protection for the TFT screen.
Lasts!: With a pair of rechargable 1800 mAh AA batteries you can shoot pictures all weekend long. And you don't need to worry about using the TFT.

Con's:
Flash takes long to load: Very irritating. It's just a few seconds (5-10) bus enough to loose that 'special moment.'
No Sound: Only mute movies (but hey! what did you expect for that price?)
Get more memory!: 16 mb is nice to experiment, but not enoug for a weekend-trip. (One of the drawbacks of digital camera's is that you start taking 10x as much pictures.)
Cheap lens: the lens distorts quite a bit at the edges.

Overall: Buy it! It's a nice camera that will do the job. If you are an experienced photographer, then go get a more expensive camera.
