Rating: Summary: Ok Beginner Camera Review: This camera is easy to use and to take pictures BUT I think it would have been better if it had a lens cover!! The camera does not come with a camera case and there is really no place to get one that truly fits this camera. Since the back screen and front lens are exposed it poses the danger of getting scratched or banged up.I also found that this camera uses up batteries quite quickly althought some of the reviews I've read in the PC Magazines said that this camera lasted a long time...weird. Overall the pictures are quite clear and the colors are good but I think I would have paid a little more for a tad more features.
Rating: Summary: A great digital snapshooter ! Review: This camera is just great ! It's very easy to understand and use the controls. Inserting media and retreving it is also easy. Image quality straight out of the camera without tweeking is great and people that don't use Photoshop or don't know how end up getting great pictures hassle free. Battery consumption is very good and while we've had the camera for over a month and picture taking averaging 4 to 5 pictures a day, it's still working fine with the original set of alkalines we bought. I bought this camera as a gift for my 18 year old son and now he carries it everywhere, he loves it!
Rating: Summary: Great value! Awesome camera Review: This camera is worth every penny! The price is VERY right for this high quality camera. The build quality of it is above average, though the hinges of the smart media door have some wiggle room, its not alot (less than a millimeter). Overall, its got a hefty solid feeling to it. The veiwfinder is very hard to use for people with glasses though. battery life is average from what you'd expect from a digicam. Image quality is pretty good, not great...Great camera for the money, if you're looking for a simple point and shoot camera to easily store all your memories, THIS IS IT!
Rating: Summary: Great, if you're into beginning digital. Review: This camera is...convenient. I was first introduced to digital by an acquaintance who was shooting after the film ran out of my own camera. He said the shots "aren't the best," but they're quick to send via the Internet, etc., in other words, a brief recommendation. I'm not sure, though, how much I'm "into" digital photography. There are more wires off the back of my computer than there are mens rooms on the Pentagon, and many of them are attached to devices I could probably do without (including an MP3 player the software for which I can't even figure out!) Then, the memory card or whatever you call it on this camera is NOT cheap. And the memory card that it comes with, yeah, it's convenient (again), i.e., if you need to take a picture, you can delete one that's already on it, and take another one. But there's not that much room on it. But if you're into anything fancy, forget it, this camera doesn't give you that many options. Oh, and I tend to agree with an earlier reviewer about the software too--to reiterate what I'd stated on the MP3 thing above: it's not the easiest to figure out. Overall, yeah, get it if you want to try it out. But remember that the software takes up more of your hard drive, you can't do that much with it, and, oh, well, read all of this again.
Rating: Summary: Fuji takes finepix Review: This is a great product. I got it for christmas and love it. It takes wonderful pictures. Even though it is supposed to clear out the red eyes it doesnt to well. But i still love the camera
Rating: Summary: Great Camera Review: This is a great snap and shoot camera. I broke my Nikon Coolpix 770 and didn't have the money to replace that camera. This is a much friendlier camera to use and tooks almost as good of pictures. This is a great starter camera and by no means am I a novice. Great Buy!!
Rating: Summary: Terrific camera for everyone Review: This is an excellent beginner digital camera - I used it for one year and loved it to death. It is simple to use - gives great clear results, and doesn't blow the bank. I am only selling mine now because I've upgraded to the fuji f601Z!

Rating: Summary: Great camera, great features, great for newbie Review: This is my first digital camera and I am extremely proficient with computers and the Internet, even so I was amazed at all the things that this camera can do. You can go from just taking it out of the box to taking really great pictures and it's fairly fool proof. It does use quite a lot of batteries and I will need to buy a larger SmartMedia card, especially since we go on a lot of trips. That said, I couldn't be happier with it, it is possibly the best present anyone has ever given me! And the software is just amazing, it has great possibilities that I am just now beginning to discover!
Rating: Summary: Best $200 digital camera Review: This is my first purchase of a digital camera although I have used both a SmartMedia and floppy disk-type digital camera. I was looking for a digital camera that was around $200 and I came up with this. I started at a great website that has reviews of most digital and non-digital cameras on the market. You can access them at www.dcresource.com. Choose a camera from the drop-down menu. They show you photographs of the camera you review from all angles (top, bottom, side, front and back) and they give you sample photos taken from that camera. They also have great reviews. I picked this camera over the Kodak and Fuji 1400 because of the features along with price. You either get 640 (Normal) or 1280 (Fine) resolution. You also get an easy-to-use timer. You also get a USB connector which is key when using this type of camera. You don't want a serial connector unless you want to sit at the computer for an hour while the photos download. The only problem I found with this camera (and knew this when I bought it because of the reviews I read) is the LCD screen. You really can't use it to take the photos because everything appears dark even in the lighter setting and the pictures have minimal quality on the playback feature. But, the rest of the camera makes up for the cheesy LCD panel. I used the viewfinder to take pictures and that worked fine. You can view the finished picture good enough on the screen to see if you want the picture or not. And, the quality of the photos is wonderful. It is worth the price. They also give you a hardcopy manual to use when figuring how to use the camera. The menus are a little confusing for a newbie but if you read the manual you can figure it out. And, to save money at Amazon.com go to Flamingoworld (www.flamingoworld.com) and look for current coupons. I saved $50 on this camera with a coupon. Enjoy!
