Summary: So far, So GREAT!
Review: I have been using this camera for a couple of weeks now and I am very pleased with the results.I kept debating on whether or not to go up to a higher megapixal range, but the great price is what made me decide to take a chance with this one. The resolution is fine for most any ordinary photo situations. After all, even with a 35mm, how often do you blow up your shots larger than 8x10 or even 5x7 for that matter? If you don't plan on printing any larger than 8x10 then 2 megapixels should be fine. Positive features: *Great picture quality
*Small and lightweight
*Comes with rechargable batteries and charger (the rechargables will save you a lot of money in the long run)
*Software is very easy to use
*Flash has it's limitations, but has not been a problem for me so far.
*Comes with free 16mb memory card, however I recommend getting an additional card (at least 64mb). A 64mb card will hold nearly 100 shots even at the highest resolution! Negative features: *Uhhh, can't think of any (not yet anyway) It is perfect for someone who isn't that familiar with digital cameras because it is very easy to use and get great shots with. It is definitely not confusing at all (software or camera). Hope this info helps..

Summary: Just buy it, you'll love it!
Review: I've taken literally about 1000 shots since I bought the camera 1 month ago. Yes, everyone loves this camera, but it is not perfect. The LCD cannot be seen well in bright daylight conditions, so I use the view finder and everything is fine. That's it. No big deal for such a small, reliable camera that takes great pics.
Cool things I especially like:
-Included software is VERY helpful at managing lots of photos through helpful automatic pic re-naming and storage options.
-Macro mode makes close-ups and EXTREME close-ups (to 10cms!) very crisp, clear and in-focus.
-Free Fujifilm.net service is integrated into software allowing you to post !100MBs! of pics online at no charge for up to 30 days for viewing by friends, family, etc., making print orders a snap.
Recommendations:
-Track down the ($) rebate for combined purchase of Camera and SmartMedia card or digital photo processing.
-Get a big SmartMedia card to get up to 166 top res shots onto a 128MB card.

Summary: good for one year
Review: After a year of using it, it shuddenly stops retracting the lens, 'focus error'. I still don't know if it can be repaired (I took it to service yesterday), or how much will it cost... My advise is this: the camera is great, good pictures, easy of use. Think of it as a funny one-year toy. I was so happy with this camera that I even would consider buying Fujifilm again! At the same time, I feel very dissapointed because I never think that the camera would last so few time!

Summary: excellent value; great camera!
Review: I purchased this camera about 6 months ago when my daughter was born. I absolutely love it and can't imagine going back to film again. The camera is similar to a point and shoot film camera; it took all of about 10 minutes to learn how to use it. There are some manual options but little is needed when the automatic functions work great. For someone in search of an simple digital camera, this was perfect. It comes with rechargable batteries and charger; all we purchased separately was a camera case and a card reader from Circuit City) which downloads your photos immediately. We never even used the USB port. We have found that the image quality setting needs to be at the highest resolution to print a part of the image at 4x6 or the whole image up to an 8x10. I'm sure that any 2 mp camera works similarly. With the ability to color correct and reduce red eye in our Microsoft Picture It! program, the photos look gorgeous when developed! I have found only a few minor inconveniences. The camera lens cover needs to be opened as a separate step (sometimes it will accidently 'close' if your finger touches it) and the batteries share a compartment with the SmartMedia card (they may come out when the card is removed). the LCD monitor is hard to use in dim locations, but the view finder compensates when necessary. These inconveniences pale in comparison to the benefits. For the price... and features, it's wonderful. I would buy it again in a minute. It has many features of more expensive cameras and takes great pictures

Summary: The best budget 2MP camera
Review: I did my share of research before buying this gem. Here's what I have to say after 3 months, I hope you find it useful. Since, most people are in a hurry, let me keep this short: LIKES:
1. Terrific value, the *best* in the 2 Megapixel range!
2. Good quality pictures across different light levels and good colour reproduction
3. Small size - one of the smaller ones in this range
4. Packs enough features for people wanting a point and shoot camera. Useful 3x Optical Zoom works well
5. Easy to use buttons and LCD Menus
6. Lasts long on the supplied cells (which are very good ones even though they take their time - 4 hours - charging). I have taken over 200 shots with average usage of Zoom, Flash and LCD when they are fully charged
7. Complete accessory kit including the 16 MB smart media card. ...
8. Absolutely reliable, haven't had a glitch in taking 1500 shots or so DISLIKES:
1. Just a minor niggle is that I had to get used to the location of the battery cover, it opened by accident more than once. Once you get used to it though, you wouldn't mind it
2. I find myself using the optical zoom a lot (dont use digital zoom). To those having a flexible budget, I would strongly recommend the Fuji Finepix 2800Z with its 6x optical zoom and voice annotation features. It is slightly bulkier though, so you have to weigh things up
3. You cannot snap on additional lenses to this camera, some of its peers support this feature. So if you want to use wide-angle or additional telephoto lenses, you'll be disappointed OVERALL:
Unless you have the budget to go for the Finepix 2800Z with 6x optical zoom, this is the best camera to buy in the 2 Megapixel range

Summary: Great Point & Shoot Camera
Review: I have this camera for about a month and it is great. This my 3rd. digital camera in the last 2 years and is hands down the best. Picture quality on 2MB Normal mode is better than 3MB cameras I have owned. The included NiMh batteries are a a big plus (may be a good idea to get an extra set). I got over a 100 photos with one charged set. The software is adequate however there are better programs out there. The sliding lens cap can be annoying if not opened in the full position. The 16Mb card is ok for out of the box but a 64 or 128MB card will be required. The manual is detailed and concise but you won't need it, the controls are user friendly and you will have this camera up and running in minutes. The photos are incredible on auto mode, there are some manual modes included but if you are a serious photographer this is not for you. If you are like me who wants a digital point and shoot that replaces a point and shoot 35mm this is for you. I have looked around and did my research, for the buck this is a super value, battery charger, rechargable batteries, 16MB card, and pictures equal to 3.2 camera, you will not be dissapointed. Only negative I could find is the included software and the fact that you can't use regular alkaline AA or digital AA batteries as they are depleted after a few shots. I am sure that is why they included NiMh batteries. There is also no Video Out jack to view photos on TV. more pluses, the LCD is clear and larger than most digital cameras, the optical zoom is a real zoom that you can see through the viewfinder like an SLR, and printed 4X6 photos will suit most users, glossy paper and a decent printer will suit most needs for photos that are suitable for framing, if you need 8x10 or larger than a 3.2 is better suited for you, 4X6 is more than adaquate for me. Buy this camera you will not be sorry

Summary: Better than fuji 2650
Review: This camera is better than the Fuji Finepix 2650.
It takes better pics, the LCD is bigger and is faster than the other one.
I have both and I thought 2650 should be better. I was wrong. Besides, the Fuji Finepix 2650 uses xD cards for storage, more expensive and slower. I like everything in this camera, great pictures. It comes even with rechargable batteries and a charger. My only complaint: in sunny days it's imposible to see the LCD, imposible :-(

Summary: Overall very pleased!
Review: I have had this camera for almost a year now, and I have DEFINATLY put it thru it's paces. I really don't know what you guys have done to your battery compartments/lens assembly because I have beat this camera up pretty well and it's held up wonderfully. The picture quality is on par with other 2mp cameras in this price range. Low light performance is pretty bad but aren't all digital cameras! The webcam function is pretty useless seeing as my VERY cheap webcam does a better job. The movie mode is limited to 20 seconds a clip no matter what the size of your SM card. It is rather thick and not the lightest chunk of plastic. But, like I said in the beginning, between the price/contstruction/quality of this camera I'd give it two thumbs up!

Summary: excellent general purpose camera
Review: I recently purchased this as a refurbished model and I couldn't be happier with it. The quality of the photos are fantastic. Previously I'd scan in photos using a 300dpi scanner. You can certainly see the difference here. Very sharp and vivid pictures.
I was impressed with the amount of options, especially with the flash. Video and webcam are nice extras too.
I like the gadgety sounds too, even though it doesn't add to the functionality of the camera.
Overall a happy user.
