Summary: Its gettin worse each time!
Review: Fuji 2600 sold very good in 2001 because it was cheap & solid camera (with below average build quality). They removed some features and downgraded its screen & lens speed to make 2650 in 2002 even cheaper. Come 2003 they have added video-out and futher downgraded it, made it uglier and zero innovation.

Basically its gotten thicker (well above 2 inches), even worse lens, poor night capability, grainy LCD, cheapo plastic body, expensive xD cards and average build quality. The picture quality in daylight is very good though. Battery life and user interface are also good.

Meanwhile cameras from Canon, Sony, Nikon and other companies have improved a lot, added many features and have gotten cheaper. Right now Canon A60/A70 is much better option.

Ofcourse first time users (who never had a digital camera before) will give it 5 stars and will be very happy.

Summary: BEWARE
Review: FUJI FILM HAS EXTEREMLY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR CAMERAS ARE ONLY BUILT TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE 1 YEAR WARRANTY.
I've had 3 Fuji camera now because they keep breaking. The last time my camera broke was a month past the warranty expiration date. Out of frustration, I wrote a letter to Fuji and the store I bought my camera at to complain and I didn't get any response from Fuji... I know they got the letter, because I got a response from the store that I purchased it from and they agreed to pay for the repairs.
And, I'm not the only one, unfortunately you don't hear about this stuff until AFTER it already happened.

Summary: Died within a day!
Review: Got this from Amazon but it died within a day of shooting. The lens got stuck and won't go back in. It won't focus either although electronics part seemed working fine. Tried 3 sets of fully charged batteries and mutiple on/off cycles. Fuji tech support were of no further help.

The build quality is very poor indeed. Basically you get what you pay for. I am glad it stopped working now, much better than if had happened middle of a vacation.

Thanks to Amazon the return is easy and goodbye Fuji!

Summary: Great Camera
Review: Great digital camera Everything is as advertised. However sometimes it can't fit in your pocket because it's a little chunky.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Camera
Review: I bought this camera about 2 weeks ago. It's a pretty good one. Picture quality for outdoors are excellent, even it only has 2MP. But indoor pictures are not very clear. Anyway, what do you expect for a $100 DC?. I am very satisfied with it.

Summary: FAct sheet
Review: I bought this camera after reading lots of reviews at bunch of different sites. Camera for me has served well, actually quite well. Here are the facts
Pros : - excellent colors, crisp pictures, even at lowest resolution,
- nice closeup pictures,
- battery life ok (cannot say because donot know how others perform). I use rechargable ones so say per 40 pictures with flash and viewfinder on.
- Easy to use and understand.
- Cannot slip it in pocket, but still small but very handy.
Cons: - You have to get used to using zoom. Not so precise.
- takes pictures a little after you click and flash flashes. So expect subject to move a little or warn them before hand.

Actually nothing is very bad that this camera should not be bought. It is definitely worth considering as an option. Get used to taking pictures under different modes and you can do wonders with this.

Summary: Great camera, and a great value
Review: I bought this camera based solely on the Fuji name, since I have had good experiences with them in the past. This camera was extremely easy to set up, and since it was my first digital camera, it was really important for me to not have to read a big thick manual just to take a picture. For the price I paid, I think I got way more than I could have, had I bought a similar camera by a different company. The pictures are crisp, clear, and contrary to what another reviewer mentioned, I have had no problems with the flash. Since I am a beginner, I was quite suprised at how good the pictures came out! My alkaline batteries started to die within the first day, but I think that was because I had the camera on pretty much all day, since I was taking pictures os everything. I purchased some rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, and so far, my battery light hasn't come on, and I've had them in for 5 days. Anyways, if you're not looking for a top-of-the-line 5 MP camera, and just want a camera that takes really good pictures for not very much money, I would definitely go for this camera.

Summary: Nice price, but not-so-nice pictures
Review: I bought this camera because of the price, but when comparing the pictures with my 1.3 MP Sony I relized the Sony took much better pictures (even though the Sony has no zoom and has a lower resolution.)

My first problem with the camera was the aforementioned low light problem. My apartment gets plenty of light, but the picture still came out extremely grainy. Also, due to the positioning of the flash so close to the lens, any dust floating in the air shows up as large white spots on the picture.

The focus also didn't quite seem to focus as well as it should have. I took the camera back after having it for 3 hours.

Just remember: you get what you pay for.

Summary: What's not to like?
Review: I bought this camera for my teenage son, so if he looses it or breaks it I won't have to cash in his college fund. To get a 2 mpx camera with X3 optical zoom that works well for $99.00 is a bargin.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I've taken lots of great pictures, easy to use
Review: I bought this camera mainly to take pictures of my kids as they grow up, and to satisfy the clamoring from relatives for pictures of the kids. In both indoor and outdoor lighting, I've taken a whole bunch of great pictures, and I have no particular training or even track record of taking good pictures with previous cameras I owned. The software that comes with the camera is pretty easy to use and install, and I have an aging G3 Mac, so that's not a small accomplishment.

I have found that for indoor shots, there is a delay between when the electronic shutter button is pressed and the image is captured. I attribute this to the camera adjusting to the light. With small children that simply don't sit still, or for other indoor pictures, this can be a bit of an inconvenience. The delay isn't so bad that I usually get the shot I was expecting, and the image quality is good.

Given the low price for this camera, I've found it to be an excellent value.
