Rating: Summary: No Nonsense Digital Camera Review: Before purchasing the Fuji 2600, I experienced a number of other digital cameras, some costing much more. Although many of them had more features, none were as reliable. I finally gave up on the expesive cameras since the extra features (that require the use of the LCD display) are worthless in sunlight anyway. This is a gadget free camera that takes excellent pictures. I've never missed a shot even when the subjects are in motion. The fast auto-focus and lack of gadgets makes this camera seemingly foolproof.Sharp, bright and true color (No sign of color aberations, blooming or color saturation) - Quiet fast zoom lense - Downloading pictures is simple and fast - Batteries last longer than any other digital I tried - Camera comes as a complete package (includes rechargeable batteries, compact charger and a reasonable size memory card) - Camera is small & easy to carry (the future of digital cameras) - The F3.8 lens is a bit slow for low light conditions but adequate for most shots and perfect for a camera of this calibre - The optical view finder shows only 80% size of final photo (Most cameras seem to do this and I don't understand why, however, you do learn to compensate). I've had my camera for about 2 weeks. Already 2 of my friends have purchased the same camera after seeing it. It's a reliable camera at a great price. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Greatest Camera in This Price Range!!!! A True Value!!!! Review: This camera excels in the ease of use, features and quality over any other camera in its price range. Setup is a snap and the quality of photos are great. The corresponding software is easy to install and very user friendly. Transferring the pictures to my PC is very easy and quick. This camera a true value for the money. My only complaint is the fact that it eats batteries like candy. But then again, that is a typical day in the life of any digital camera. A quick charger and a handful of batteries will keep the camera happy:>
Rating: Summary: Overall of very good camera Review: I would have to say that this one of the best digital cameras i have seen in this price range. You are going to have a hard time finding something that is as compact and easy to use as this. The auto mode works great in almost all situations and with a 64MB, i never run out of space. Two things that bug me are, that if you use the supressed flashmode (no flash) then you really need to hold it very still because you can get a blurry shot very easily. And, even though you can have a card that fits a lot more than a 20second movie you still can only save in increments of 20 seconds(3 megs i believe). Overall I still think this camera is a great buy and i wouldnt hesitate to reccomend it to any of my friends.
Rating: Summary: More features for your money Review: I bought this camera to take photos of our new baby as I was fed up using a 35mm and taking 10 good shots every 25 shots and paying for them all to be developed. This camera is great, takes great shots (the macro is super for close ups at high resolution). The controls are easy once you get the hang of them. 20 photos at highest resolution with the card good for printing 8x10s. A lens cover and recharchable batteries and recharger. You don't need any extra to get started. A great buy and now I only print out the photos I like.
Rating: Summary: Didn't like it Review: Camera takes very nice pictures and they print out very nice, but the program is way to confusing, returning camera today.
Rating: Summary: A very impressive camera at a great price Review: This camera is really an incredible deal. It has more features for the money that any other camera in its range. Other cameras that are similarly priced lack the 2-megapixel sensor or optical zoom, but the FinePix 2600 has both. It takes very nice pictures and is very easy to use. It comes with a 16MB card that provides more than enough initial storage, and new cards can be purchased up to 128MB. But even the standard card holds a lot - 60 at the default setting, 10 at the highest setting. The optical zoom is a great feature to have, and the movie mode is also very useful. Despite what some specs may read, it has both a macro mode and a self-timer. Overall, this is the best camera to buy in its range, that is, more than a toy but not high-end. It is more than adequate for the casual or amateur photographer. It should serve all your photography needs for quite some time.
Rating: Summary: Awsome Camera, Great price Review: This camera has all the features of the lower end a201 and 2300 plus the "luxury" features that disciminating users desire. True optical zoom, a real lense cover, 1.8" LCD, NiMH batteries and charger. The controls are minimal and easy to use, they all give satisfying tactle feedback (no clicking though). A small speaker tells you when you've turned the power on/off and when functions are accessed (can be turned off). The digital menu is complete, including white ballance adjustment and digital preprocessing. It comes with a very complete, multi-lingual, manual and a quick start guide. As with all products there are a couple niggles. The batteries and the Smartmedia card are in the same compartment, so you have to take off power to remove the media. This is really only a problem if you take out the cards all the time but there's no need to. The camera's built in functions and PC software allow you to do everything without removing the card. The LCD is clear and bright, despite it's small size, it has a zoom feature to get a close look at your subjects. The only problem is theres no raised edge around it's plastic protective cover so you have to watch out for scratches. Finally, with all the accessories, it doesn't come with a case. Not a big deal, but enough to be annoying. If you care about your equipment, I suggest you take the camera to a photo shop and get one, I belive the Olympus cases should fit. After 2 weeks of researching cameras in (my price) range, this one beat out all takers including the Fuji a201 and the HP 315/318 (btw: even thought the 318 is older, it's a better camera). I've owned 2 Fuji 35mm cameras and this one lives up to expectations. High quality at a great price.
Rating: Summary: GREAT camera Review: This is an absolutely wonderful camera. It's got all of the features that a home photographer could want. I've seen folks complain about the fact that the 16M media isn't a flash card...but who cares? After a day of picture taking you plug the camera into your PC and copy the pictures to your hard drive. What do flash cards matter? I'm VERY happy with this purchase; this camera is cheaper than comparable offerings from Sony and does it all...no complaints!
Rating: Summary: Fuji 2600 well worth the $$$ Review: I've looked at a lot of cameras, this is the first camera, in it's price range, which really delivers on it's promise. The 1.8" LCD is quite adequate and is much better than on earlier finepix models. Finally, this model comes with video and a 16MB smartcard. You should buy a larger card if you intend to use the video feature. This is a great point and shoot camera, which shares the features of other, more expensive competitors.
Rating: Summary: Good buy! Review: I love this camera. It's easy to use and good price too. It's charger and battery kit and 16MB card makes it better than competitor's 2M pixel offering. My only negative is the Smartmedia card, it should have been flash card since more people use flash cards. anyway, it's great camera.
