Summary: FinePix 6800
Review: A great camera. Fairly simple to use if you leave it in auto mode. The other modes (manual, video, etc) are straight-forward and not too difficult to learn. The camera is fun to use and more feature-packed than other digital cameras I've used. Best of all, it's size makes it easy to carry with you. Being fairly compact, you're more likely to take it along. My one gripe is it's limited ability to take good pictures when it's dark outside (or inside for that matter). But that's a minor issue. Most of my night time photos look okay. When using this camera in high-resolution, the picture rivals most high-end film cameras. I recommend it to anyone who wants a high-quality, fun, cool camera.

Summary: Fine pics are quick and easy with this Fuji
Review: As of the writing of this review, I've had my new camera for four days. I've shot still photos, portraits, action shots, and taken video and audio recordings (the good fortune of getting the new camera right before a major holiday with parties!). I have NEVER adapted to a new piece of technology this fast before, and had this much fun!I took the opportunity while the new battery was charging the first night to read the camera manual. A easy-to-dial wheel lets you pick single shot, multiple, video, etc., which is great at a larger gathering where just still photos might not best grab the moment. The ability to instantly discard those headless photos, or just bad expressions, will make you an instant hit with your subjects. Especially when you just turn the camera around and show them the picture you just took. I never had so much "camera compliance" at a Thanksgiving dinner before. I did spring for a 128MB SmartMedia chip for the camera, upping my picture taking capacity from dozens to hundreds, if necessary. I tend to shoot mid-range quality and size, and can easily get the equivalent of two 36 exp. rolls of film onto the card. I've only got the one battery so far, but it held up for three hours at a San Francisco dance club where I was shooting before and during a fashion show, which needed the flash on all shots. Not too bad for one battery. I'm pretty sure another one of those, plus another card will get added to my gear. I've got one of the older, beige, G3 PowerMacs and for [dollar amount] added a 5-port USB card to my computer, allowing me to hot-swap the camera for quick and easy download. The included software senses when the camera is hooked up and pops open thumbnails of the entire contents of the chip, so editing goes really fast! The pocket-size and one-hand operation allows the Fuji FinePix to travel in a shirt pocket and easy to handle. This camera was entirely worth the year I shopped the market and compared models and features. I almost went with a Sony, but this one did more for me.

Summary: Câmara Simplesmente Fantástica!
Review: É de facto uma camara fantástica!
Só é pena é ser tão cara... mas isso deve-se ao facto de que em Portugal é tudo muito caro além de que se ganha muito mal...
Mas o que importa aqui é a câmara... ESPECTACULAR!

Review: I bought the fugifilm 6800 zoom [and] It broke a week and a half later. I sent it in to be repaired and haven't seen it since. ... I've made several calls and wrote emails...no one cares to get back to me. Fugi's customer service works as well as my new digital camera. So anyone lookin to buy this piece of ... designed by porche...be CAREFUL! It's a lot of money to throw away.

Summary: Not a bad camera but ...
Review: I bought this camera 3 months ago, and it has performed magnificiently. The optical zoom works great, and the real time video is a lot of fun. Also, the size, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, makes it very portable, and easy to manage. The USB uplink is a big improvement over the serial link they had on earlier models. Also the functionality as a web cam blows everything else I've tried away - picture quality and audio.
There are however little quirks about the camera - Images are much better if you have the flash turned on; I think it has something to do with the default shutter speed for different settings (which is automatic). Also, it comes with software that supports Windows Media Player for the movies, and QuickTime seems to manage the files a lot better.
Someone else suggested upgrading to a 128 MB card, which I did, and I have not regretted it. Taking 204 images at the 1 megapixel resolution is pretty cool, plus it allows me abuse the movie feature and use the camera like a camcorder.
Overall, I have had a lot of fun with this camera. (But you might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere)

Summary: GREAT "SMALL" DIGITAL CAMERA
Review: I bought this Fuji Finepix 6800 the same day that I bought my new Sony DSC-S85 (4.1) Digital Camera. I've tried them in side-by-side comparison shots, they BOTH take great pictures. I love this Fuji for the portability and FAST boot-up. The Sony is great for the ability to use add-on lenses for adding flexibility on picture taking. I would recommend this Fuji for anyone looking for a small, easy to use digital camera.

Summary: A Superb Digital Camera Package
Review: I got bored carrying loads of photographic gear around on my holidays and was taking fewer and fewer photographs. This has all changed with the FinePix 6800. The 6800 is a superb piece of equipment, very pretty and so easy to use. The A4 images I printed on Ilford's new Printasia glossy photofilm on my Epson 890 are extremely impressive. My only minor criticism is that the camera is only supplied with a 16Mb smartmedia card but this was quickly remedied with the purchase of a 128Mb card. Being able to see what you've taken almost immediately and to be able to delete and retake if necessary has brought back the joy to holiday photography. Getting large numbers of prints is also very easy - my local processor can simply download from my card and produce the prints for me. Anything special I can edit and print myself. The "hotsynch" cradle and FinePix Viewer makes downloading images a doddle and also replenishes the camera's battery at the same time. I cannot recommend this camera too highly - a real 5 star winner!

Summary: Very nice!!
Review: I got my Fuji Finepix 6800 this past Friday. Let me tell you...this thing has it all! You can pretty much turn it on and start popping off shots right away as long as you use the Auto setting. Granted, with the 16 MB card that comes with it and the default setting, you only get a few pictures. If you get this, make sure you read the manual. Even for an electronics-minded person, I found the interface a bit tricky at first. Also, get yourself at least another 16 MB card. I got two 64 MB cards, myself. Inside the manual, it gives you a table of exactly how many pictures you get at a certain setting for a certain card. It's pretty neat! You can do Black/White photography (which significantly increases your shot count), Night time photography, Landscapes (not panoramic), Multiple shots (5), and movies. For those used to the good ol' aim and focus, manually set this, manually set that, it has a pretty neat Manual setup. You have to use the menu to get all of those (including white balance, shutter speed, and alot of other technical settings. It comes with a USB cradle, so downloading to your PC is pretty simple. It comes with a case that holds two more storage cards, so you don't need to buy that. I really love it! It's by far the best Birthday present I've gotten since I got the really "neat" toys as a kid. This one lists at [price], but many places (including Amazon) have it at discounted prices. This one is definitely worth the money. Hope this has helped.
