Rating: Summary: Batterys last forever Review: This is NOT a very good camera for the price. If you leave the batteries in the camera, they are drained in a day. I finally figured out that the best way to go about it was to keep a separate bag with the batteries in it and put them in the camera before I use it. This is very annoying because then it wants you to re-set the time when you start it back up again. Not good for close-ups or low light. (I tried to use it to photograph my jewelry but got poor results.) Also, it does not have a zooming lens. For everyday shots of my family and friends outdoors or indoor with a flash, this is an OK camera. Still, I have found that you can get a much better product at a comparable price in the 35mm format, which you can now get "developed" and put on disc at most major film development outlets. And for only $50 - $100 more you can get a good quality digital Canon, Nikon, or Olympus that zooms and they might not have the battery problems.
Rating: Summary: Terrific camera for everyone Review: this is such a great camera, I got it for my birthday and it has worked perfectly. it takes wonderful pictures, and can take a few fallls,the one bad thing is it cant zoom, it only can switch modes (close up and distance shots) but it works great and is realy easy to use. Its just a great camera.
Rating: Summary: Fuji FinePix 1300 Digital Camera Review: This is the first digital camera that I have ever owned. Within minutes of opening the box I was already taking pictures. The software was also easy to install and use. The only con that I have found is that it eats batteries like crazy, however I am told that most digital cameras do the same. So I would recomend you get rechargable batteries. This is a great camera for the money.
Rating: Summary: SmartMedia was missing, technical support blew me off. Review: This probably would have been a great camera if I'd been able to use it. If you're interested in how well some of its features work, the other reviews will probably be more helpful. However, if you want to know what to expect from Fuji technical support (which is an often overlooked feature of a product), I can tell you: Absolutely nothing.The camera I got was missing the SmartMedia card needed to store the pictures you take. When I called Fuji's technical support and navigated through a labyrinthine phone-menu system, I was told ... was apparently not an "authorized dealer" or some stupid thing, and I would have to return the item. They refused to simply ship me a replacement SmartMedia, instead forcing ME to go through the hassle of returning an item because of THEIR mistake. Are there any COMPETENT digital camera manufacturers out there? This is the second camera I have bought in the past 6 months that I've ended up returning because it either didn't have the features it claimed, or was missing parts. In both cases the technical support was utterly useless. I don't think I'll ever purchase another digital camera again.
