Rating: Summary: Fantastic Camera / Spectacular Value Review: I purchased the fuji finepix 2600 digital only a few days ago and I am already using it and taking pictures like a pro. The functions of this camera are simply outstanding. Everything is easy to use, you dont even have to read the instructions, although I suppose you should. The camera enables you take great pics from bright-light to low-light, from family shots to scenery. Just point and shoot....its really that easy!... Also, this camera comes standard with a 3x optical zoom (very worth the price), a set of rechargeable batteries, and the recharging unit. The included memory card which stores your pics is also double that of all other manufacturers. BUY THIS CAMERA....YOU CANNOT GO WRONG.....IT IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC!...
Rating: Summary: Great Camera, You really don't need much more than this. Review: I did alot of research and finally decided on the Fuji Finepix 2600. I never thought that I'd have a need/want for a digital camera. Just didn't think the cost was justified. But I decided to treat myself and buy this camera. This camera is simple to use, takes excellent pictures, and I mean excellent. I'm glad I didn't spend more money and get a higher MP quality. This one does a great job. The prints with my Old Canon BJC-6000 are quite good. The included software shows your pictures in a great Slide show. Everything about this camera and software are simple to use.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Picture Quality Review: I first bought a Canon PowerShot S200 and returned it bucause of the poor picture quality (I have a review for it too). I then bought the Fuji FinePix 2600. The major factors I considered is the ISO 100 rating, the 1600x1200 resolution, and the low price. After taking more than one hundred pictures under different conditions(indoor, outdoor, low light), I am very satisfied with the camera. The pictures are very well focused and very sharp. The colors are very real and vivid. The noise of the picture is very low. It is really hard to find a bad picture. I can hardly believe it that the picture quality can be so good. I was a little reluctant at the beginning to buy this camera because of its little bit bigger size. Now with such good picture quality the size is not a problem at all.
Rating: Summary: Great Camera AND Low Price! Review: I bought this camera one week ago and after taking about 400 shots with it, I decided I'd share my thoughts on this very nice camera.First, the quality of the shots is very good for a 2 megapixel camera. Using the 2M-N quality configuration (that's two megapixels with normal resolution), I get very nice 1600 X 1200 pictures that are just the right size for printing on 8½ X 11 photo paper. The colors are usually good in automatic configuration, though I had to adjust the White Balance when shooting indoor with neon light to prevent the skin tones from looking greenish. Plus the shots are about 300-350k each and I can store 153 shots on my 64Mb SmartMedia card. The flash is decent for such a small camera and the red-eye reduction works most of the time, but not if the subject is not looking straight at the camera. You can also take pictures without flash (if it's dark and the object you're shooting is too far for the flash to be effective for example), but I've had lots of problems doing so. Since there is no manual shutter speed setting, you have to rely on the camera for adjsting its speed. This results in very blurry images since it is impossible to stop your hands from shaking for a whole 2 seconds while the shot is being taken. So use a tripod (which I don't have) for pictures without flash. The LCD screen is pretty good, but when you use it indoor or in dark conditions it is hard to see what your shot will look like. The brightness setting will just make things look awful. The viewfinder is a good replacement, but the fact that the LCD screen is raised on the back of the camera results in your nose touching the screen when you take a picture which is annoying since you have to clean it all the time. The movie mode (without sound) is a nice addition, but the 3Mb / 10 frames/second avi files are far from perfect. I prefer to use it only for a nice 360 degrees view of the surrondings. Battery life is good, I took 179 shots with the viewfinder plus the LCD to check if my pictures were OK before the batteries died. As for the software bundled with the camera, I haven't tried it out, since I just have to take the SmartMedia card right into my Toshiba Laptop to view my pictures. I would recommend this camera to any amateur photograph (like me!) who is on a budget, wants a camera with excellent picture quality and dosen't plan to do lots of night or very dark shots. An easy 4 out of 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: Depends on what you're looking for.... Review: I just got this camera a week ago. The quality of the picture is great and it has some of nice features including red eye reduction and flash controls. Even with the settings on automatic, it took some really nice pictures. But the plastic exterior is so fragile. It's been a week and I have scratches all over the place - and I only really used it once! I regret that I didn't spend a little more money and bought a well built (non-plastic) camera with the similar functions and quality. It's a good camera but if you're one of those people that brake things easily - I would definately not recommend this camera.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Camera for the price Review: I got this camera for my birthday and have found that is has the best color of any digital camera I have bought. It is great! I have ordered prints from it and they turned out even better. It has a 20 second movie on it that comes out awesome. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a camera.
Rating: Summary: Well pleased! Review: This little camera was a very wise purchase. .... I used it for the first time today and the photos are clear and bright. Again I say....a very wise purchase decision.
Rating: Summary: What I like and don't like Review: What I like: *Fits in pocket *Intuitive to use *Fast battery refresh rate *Easy to download photos to PC *Red eye reduction better than most *Optics good for price range What I don't like: *Battery cover opens too easily while taking photos; batteries easily fall out *128MB card is the largest the camera can handle *Silent video a drawback *LCD monitor hard to see in sun light, but viewfinder is clear *On/off switch and open lens cover to take picture is a nuisance *Software is good for downloading, but poor for editing photos Overall assessment: I love the camera overall, especially the picture quality. Batteries wanting to fall out occasionally gets very frustrating. Be sure to buy the AC power adapter for downloading pictures to the computer to save on the batteries.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Quality, Easy to Use, Short Battery Life Review: I've had this camera for less than a week, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The 16 MB card probably won't be enough, so I also purchased a 64 MB card. I take photos at 1280x960 (the middle resoultion option) at the lower of two compressions, and image quality is excellent. At this size, the 64 MB card holds 100 pictures. The optical zoom is very good. I've used the 20 second movie clip feature a few times. In low light situations, the image quality of the clips are kind of poor, but I didn't buy the camera for this feature, so I'm not really concerned. The fact that you have to open the lense cover *and* turn on the camera to use it is a little tedious, but I grew accustomed to it after a few uses. The Macro function allows you to take close up pictures of smaller objects and delivers excellent detail. There are several flash options, including No Flash, Red Eye Reduction, Auto, and Timer. I'm very satisfied with this camera and recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Great picture quality! Review: I purchased the FinePix 2600 and received it about 1 week ago. I read a ton of different reviews of similar cameras in this price range and can say without a doubt that I made the right choice. The picture quality is fantastic. This camera comes packed with everything you need to start taking great pictures right out of the box. It comes with the 16MB Smart Media card, which holds about 30 pictures at normal resolution or about 15 at the highest setting. Plenty for starting out, but would recommend getting a 64/128 MB card for big trips sometime down the road. It also comes with the rechargable batteries and charger and those work well also. I would also recommend getting a 2nd set of the batteries for longer outings also. This is a great point and shoot camera, with a few manual features for the more advanced user. For me, the default settings work just fine. This camera is very easy to use and to unload the pictures to your PC. I think this camera has something for everyone, from novice to more advanced users. I don't think I've ever written a review of a product before, but I had to repay the favor of those whose reviews helped my decision. Thanks!
