Summary: BEWARE: Flimsy Battery Door [$] to Replace Under Warranty!!!
Review: After three months of moderate use, the metal component that holds down the batteries in the camera snapped off. Without this in place, the battery door cracked (from the inside out) under the pressure of the batteries. After sending the camera to Fuji for repairs, they sent me a bill for [$]! They said it was an impact crack which is not covered under their marginal warranty. I asked the gentleman at the call center if they would have repaired it free of charge, if I had sent it to them when just the metal component had cracked off. He said probably. Since that component breaking off in the first place was to blame for the cracking I am baffled as to why I had to pay a quarter of the original cost of the camera to have it repaired. It was a great camera, with the exception of this design flaw. AND IT IS A DESIGN FLAW, regardless of what the folks at Fuji say!

Summary: quality/service problems with Fujifilm Finepix 2600
Review: I purchased the camera in July 2002. Although it basically works OK, I noticed from the beginning a large dark spot on every picture with a blue sky. So I contacted customer service in December 2002, who told me to return the camera. A replacement camera arrived after 1 month waiting. The replacement camera has an even worse problem : now the left corners are both dark on pictures of blue sky, walls etc....
Needless to say that I am disappointed in this camera and the QC and service from Fujifilm

Summary: Great Camera for a Great Price!
Review: For a 2.1 megapixel costing under [$$$], this camera takes GREAT pictures! I've had mine for almost a year, and I love it! It comes with a 16MB smart card (which holds about 40 pictures), but we've also bought a 128 MB smart card for the camera. It allows us to take over 160 pictures! This sure saves a lot on film!! I highly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a good but easy-to-use camera!

Summary: Great Features, Poor Quality and Customer Service
Review: Great features, loved the camera. Good image quality, long battery life, best deal going on a 2 MB camera in this price range. Unfortunately, the lens assembly jammed after less than 90 days (a few days before Christmas, no less) and Fuji had no customer service to speak of. They didn't even bother to respond to my emails. The camera has been back in Fuji Warranty Service's hands for almost a month and all we have gotten is acknowledgement of receipt. Missed the digital camera for our son's birthday as well, hope we might see it back by Valentine's Day photos. Great camera, poor QC and customer/warranty service. My next camera will NOT be a Fuji.

Summary: PS
Review: I would definitely recommend buying the rechargeable batteries. Like most digital cameras, it EATS AA batteries. :)You can buy the rechargeable batteries and charger right from Amazon.com as well. There are different brands available. You can see what's available under accessories.

Summary: Couldn't ask for ANYTHING easier!
Review: Camera does everything it says in the description. Takes WONDERFUL pictures! Great price...cheaper here then I have seen at other places. It is verrrrry easy to operate...not a lot of bells and whistles that you will probably never use. You can zoom in on your subject reallllly close and still have a high quality picture. The program to upload pictures to your computer is also verrrrry easy to understand and use. There is a few seconds lapse in time from being able to take one picture and then another. Maybe that is standard on all digital cameras...I don't know. The time lapse isn't a big deal to me though. It would only affect me if I was trying to shoot action shots. There is no chance of taking a picture with the cover on...you will get a message that your cover is still on. :) It is light and compact. I am just amazed at what a great camera this is. 100% satisfied! ...

Summary: Great Choice!
Review: I have given this camera three weeks. I have seen nothing wrong with it really. It has all of your basic features plus more! And for the price, its unbeatable! It also comes with a nice pocket battery charger, and nice software. The LCD screen is a little annoying in low light conditions, but thats where the glass viewfinder comes in handy. It also has a twenty second movie clip function (with no sound, but so what?) that makes the camera extra fun. So when you go on a vacation, this is all you`ll need. Go with this product, its an excellent choice!

Summary: A pretty good camera...just one problem
Review: I've had this camera for 4 months now. I've put it through many different situations, so I can tell you a lot about it. *the GOOD*
-VERY easy to use, EVERYONE can figure it out...
-3x optical zoom (with the digital) is very effective
-lightweight
-good price
-comes with batteries and charger
-comes with a decent memory card...I stuck with this card for like 3 months until getting a new 128 MB one. The 16 MB will suffice if you only take a few pictures a day, because I always just uploaded the pictures to my computer once I got home and cleared the memory card. However, I found this to be a problem because I wanted to take more pictures, for things such as parties...where I would take close to 100 pictures. Thus, I would definitely suggest getting a bigger memory card if you are going to be taking the camera to events.
-A lot of people are saying that the battery life [stinks]...I wouldn't say so. I tend to use the LCD screen a lot, and find that the batteries won't run out on me. What I do is just make sure that the batteries are fully charged before I take it to an event, and it always lasts the whole day. I have not bought another set of batteries, and I don't think I will unless go on vacation or something. *and the BAD...*
-ACK the one thing that bugs me A LOT about this camera...the LCD screen is almost IMPOSSIBLE to see in the dark (as well as the in the bright sunlight). Yeah, sure you can use the regular viewhole, which is alright...but one reason to go digital is for the LCD when taking pictures. Along with this problem that people tend to forget is that if the LCD screen is too dark (or light), that means the videos you shoot with the camera are also too dark. That's okay if you don't use the video option, which I rarely do, but with those special occasions, I was unable to capture the moments due to the dark (light) conditions. There is a LCD brightness adjuster, but it tends to be not very effective...I've seen other cameras do a MUCH better job in these types of conditions...
-a bit chunky...though I put it in my purse or backpack, so I don't notice that much. But if you're a guy, I don't know if you would want this thing in your pocket. Overall...I gave the camera 4 stars. For the price, I guess you get what you pay for. In general, a good camera for beginners, but I sometimes wish I had spent a little more and maybe had gotten a Canon or something (pricey!). It's up to you, but I would somewhat recommend the camera, keeping in mind my problem with it. One more thing...I know that there is the new 2650 out. Though it may be cheaper straight out, KEEP IN MIND that it uses the new XD card, which is A LOT more EXPENSIVE!!! This one, the 2600, uses the SmartMedia, which is much more affordable. I got one at Costco Wholesale for a good price. Also, while this one comes with rechargable batteries and a charger, the 2650 comes only with ALKALINES! You DO NOT want those...so you will end up spending even more on getting new batteries and a charger!

Summary: I love this camera!
Review: This camera is a very good camera. The only thing that I don`t really like about it is that the batteries die out a little fast, and the LCD screen can get dark at times. But other than that this camera is the coolest!
