Rating: Summary: All I expected from a digital camera Review: I bought this camera last year and I am keeping using it more than my Canon EOS 35mm, and the results I've obtain are more than I expected from it. Actually I have keep shooting almost every day and the results are as good as the ones I get from film, including the fact it's easier to handle the pictures in a digital way to display it in my homepage and send them via email whoever I want to. In few words, I'm very happy with it. Enjoy it.
Rating: Summary: Better deal on a good camera. Review: As the price has fallen on this camera, Fuji has become a better competitor in this crowded field. The 2600 has some nice features, but virtually none that most every other camera in this range doesn't have. On the down side, the feel is a bit flimsy and the controls are fairly limited (it is pretty much an automatic-only camera). Most annoyingly, especially if you're used to the Olympus clamshell design, this camera can be closed without shutting off the power, making it a bit of a battery-killer. Anyway, it's not a bad camera, it's just not an outstanding one. For the same price, I'd prefer the Nikon 775.
Rating: Summary: A great camera! Review: We love this little camera. We were a bit hesitant getting into digital but now we're glad we did! This camera was the perfect way to get started!!! Setup is a breeze and the camera is very easy to use. The software is not great but no complaints here. Runs with no problems on Windows 2000. I noticed that some reviewers have complained about indoor shots with this camera but I must say ours have all turned out perfect. It is made of plastic but is very solid and has a good quality feel and look...should be durable enough in regular use. Good way to go for a first digital camera.
Rating: Summary: What's not to like? Review: Well, I'm going to keep it short. I have had a Cannon Elan 35mm with a Tamron 28-200 mm lens for the past 10 years. I love it but it's heavy artillery. Wanted a digital. Requirements were 2 MP min., very small and light, min. 3x optical zoom. The 2600 was made to order. Had it for two months and I have yet to find something to complain about. On the unexpected plus side, I was amazed at the macro. I was selling a ram chip on ebay that measure about 2 by .75 inches. Shot it with this camera from a few inches away and you could read the etchings on the chip. I was amazed. I am no expert in digital photography but I would and am recommending it w/o reservation.
Rating: Summary: 3 days into this camera's use and I love it! Review: I'll have to say that the price was the main factor for getting this camera...at first.I've been researching digital camera's for a while now and like every other electronic toy I have now, all the ones I WANTED were [monetary value]and above. Well, that wasn't feasible so I decided to get real and start looking for camera's with 2-3 megapixels. This one is a true winner! Great camera for the beginner, and the macro feature produces such nice shots, you can almost feel the subject! My wife is entering a dish into a local cooking contest and you need to submit a picture with your online registration. Anyway, the picture of the dish (I'm sworn to not say what it is) was so vibrant and tasty looking, you could almost taste it! I can even see the cheese bubbling in the picture, I wish I could post it for you! Great affordable fist digital camera. Yes, there are many camera's out there that will do what this one will and more, but none for the price! Get this one while you can! The holidays are coming up ya' know!
Rating: Summary: Great Camera - disaster waiting to happen Review: This camera is, simply put, great! The only beef I have with it is that it is so easy to have an accident. One small slip and you end up erasing or reformatting all your photos. It has to be the most frustrating experience. No matter how careful one is, it always seems to happen at an important event (X-mas, weddings etc.) It would be great is there was additional security features to reduce the risk of deleting one's photos. I also find that the Finepix software is less than user friendly. It works fine as long as there no glitches, but God help you if there is a problem. In my case, it couldn't find the file???. Read all the brochures, went through all the menus. no luck. I'd have to say, unless your tech gifted, just take your photos and have them developed. Don't try to be fancy and touch anything. or better yet, get another camera
Rating: Summary: Works great on a Mac Review: Since the other reviews seem to rave about this camera--an I agree with the raves, i'm writing to comment on use with my Macintosh. It's seamless integration. I took my pictures, connected via USB, and iPhoto automatically opened. I clicked "import", and then "publish", and my photos were on my web site, that easy! I'm thrilled with the price and ease of use of this camera.
Rating: Summary: Excellent product Review: I received this camera just 2 days ago and now I am already in love with it. It does the job very very well. I even tried to turn off the light and took the picture to see if it was bad indoors as some other said on Amazon. You know, it worked perfectly well thanks to the flash. The pictures turn out to be good indoors and even under very dime light. The price/quality is good. I will definitely recommend it to friends.
Rating: Summary: Exceptionally Great.. Review: This is an exceptional camera, my first and i love it. Where else can I get a great looking camera with 3X optical zoom, impressive image quality(both indoors and outdoors), free batteries + charger, 16MB memory card for 200 bucks( and now additional 32 MB free). Contrary to what other people have said, i found the flash to be fine, even in low light conditions. There could be two reasons for this. Fuji has fixed the problem in this camera or some people did not push the "picture take" button half way down for focussing before taking actual shot. The battery life is great. my first battery charge lasted for around 90-100 pictures, and i have always used the LCD. Here is a story to validate why i am so impressed. I went to NBC's digital expo in WA-DC two weeks back. I had taken some pictures of the show. Ritz camera was offerring free prints from digital cameras a trial, so i got two pictures printed, with 1 MP normal setting. It was hard to tell whether the print was from a film camera or my digital camera. some visitors standing besides me where also impressed. There was also a digital camera basics class by Fuji guys. The presenter was saying, never judge a digital camera by the pictures you see on the monitor but always judge by the prints you develop, and I kept on thinking how right he is. Guys who are new to digital photography, go for this camera. For this price and features + accesories, It is the best around. 2 MP is enough for beginners. The software works like charm on my Win 2000 pc. Hope my review helped.
Rating: Summary: Poor LCD Review: The LCD is very poor indoors. This camera can only be used outdoors if not too sunny. Maybe it is the camera but I called Fuji and they told me this is normal. I would like to use the LCD more, thats one of the reasons that I purchased it!
