Summary: mixed emotions
Review: This camera takes quite nice pictures under the proper environment and settings. If one is outdoors with lots of light or if one uses the flash with the LCD turned off, then the pictures produced usually turn out very well. However, if one is indoors and uses the LCD to compose the shot, then pictures can get blurry. What seems to happen in this case is that once one gets a focus lock on the subject, if the subject moves after the focus lock is registered, the photos end up blurry. To avoid this is to turn off the LCD and rely on the viewfinder. Pictures end up clearer this way, however, that way the way one sees the image appear in the viewfinder isn't a true representation of the image like it would be if composed by the LCD screen.

Summary: a great buy!!!
Review: This camera was a steal and takes great pics for the money. Now I must say if you're a wanna-be photographer with a trained eye for detail, then by all means go for the high tech camera and by pass this one because you'll probably be disappointed. But for taking every day shots you can't beat it for the buck. I just brought this camera and it's so easy to use and even for a 2mp the picture quality is great, you can even get good quality with it set on the 1mp. This is my second digicam and my first had a little more mp, but this one by far is the better camera. It's not the smallest camera, but it's not the bulkiest either. The material is a little on the cheap side, but it is light weight and only takes two batteries instead of four (rechargeables highly recommended). I love the 3xoptical zoom (which my other camera didn't have) and it's very user friendly. To put it short, I'm not an electronics whiz or a photographer, and you don't have to be either for this camera. It's very easy to use from taking great quality pictures to downloading them to your pc and it won't take months to figure out how to work it. My sister who also just recently purchased a 3mp digicam likes mine alot better and is going to take hers back to get this one. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great quality camera at a bargain. And don't buy into that 'you get what you pay for rule', because you don't always have to pay outrageous prices for something to be good. This camera is proof of it!!!

Summary: Just excellent
Review: This Digital Camera is just excellent. I bought this camera a few weeks ago and then started reading all reviews about it and scared myself thinking that the camera would not work in dark rooms (as I read in a few posts). When I got the camera, the first thing I tried was taking pictures in dark rooms, and the quality of picture is excellent, the picture is very bright and you can identify clearly what's on the picture; even in it's lower resolution.

I rate this digital camera A+, 5 stars or anything else that would mean excellent...

Summary: Great Digital Camera!

Summary: good camera with manual shutter and a little big
Review: this is a good camera at a real good price (i got it for $79.99 only!). The only real issue is that its VERY big compared to other digital cameras and has a manual shutter which can be a bit annoying !.

Otherwise for $80 you can't ask for more. the picture quality is pretty good and prints from it look great too!. The zoom is nice and the LCD pretty good. Doesn't hog that much battery too!!

regards,
Sumit.

Summary: Great quality camera for entry level users
Review: This is a great camera for entry level people that have just chosen to use digital cameras. I bought this at Target at the right time and also got a gift card. The camera looks pretty neat but kinda cheap. It is very light and not that thick. The LCD is very good. Able to zoom in and span easily.

Ease of Use
This is probably the most easiest and simplest cameras on the market. There are probably about 7 buttons on the whole thing. The menu is very user compatible and the software is ok.

Picture Quality
The pictures come out very good especially for a 2mp camera. The 8x10 pics come out good.I have not yet printed a 4x6 picture but my guess is that it will come out very good. Also, make you sure you have a very good printer to really enjoy your pictures. I have a inkjet printer that prints very well but does not compare to photo printers. I am planning on buying a photo printer in a couple of weeks

Video
Video isnt that good. Of course video from a digital camera will never replace a digital camcorder. It records video without sound at 10 frames per second. That is like a almost semi-strobe quality. Video is only good if taken with alot of light. And i mean alot. One good thing is that you can hook it up to your computer and use it like a webcam. But like any webcam, you need alot of light.And you also need a MIC to talk on your PC.

Features
It comes with a very sufficient amount of features. A tv-out line out to hook upto your tv. But that is only good with a small tv. I have a big projection tv so it was little pixalated, but that doesnt affect the print. The software isnt bad. Lots of features to customize your pics anyway you want. It also comes with a new 16mb xd-card. This increases your battery life and is also faster. This camera eats up batteries but lasts longer than other digital cameras. They also give you all the wires and supplies to use right out of the box.

Cons
Dont get confused with what it says on the box. It says it comes with a dock adapter. That is just a plastic placement to attach to an optional dock. I wish the flash was a little better for wide angle shots. It would also been good if there were different photo-shot modes (ie.. nightshot, snow&sand, spotlight etc) But some of that you can do with the included software.

So in other words, this is a fantastic camera. It is fun to use everyday and also show off. I am planning on using it as my main camera for a while. Then i am considering a very high mega-pixeled camera for very large prints. Also a 35mm SLR Nikon that i have had my eyes on for a while. I love using old fashioned cameras.

Summary: Love this little camera!
Review: This is a great camera. I did hours and hours of research before deciding on this one. I'm glad I did my homework because this takes the greatest pictures even on the middle setting. When I received it, I was a little dissapointed with the size because I was expecting a bigger camera but my dissapointment was gone quickly when I saw how incredible the pictures were. I actually like the size now, because my husband can easily keep it in his pocket. Battery consumption has been great. I've heard alot about digital cameras eating up batteries. I haven't had that problem with this camera but i'm still planning on buying the optional cradle to charge it through the computer or a/c adapter. The owner's manual is a bit daunting and there are a lot of buttons and settings but once I read the manual, it was quite easy to use. I hope this has been helpful for you if you're looking for a digital camera. Buy it. It's great!

Summary: Pretty Good!
Review: This is my first camera and I like a lot. It takes pretty good pictures indoor and outdoor. Is very small even is a little heavy. The only thing I don't like is that is a battery eater!!!. You take 20 or 30 pictures and you have to change it.
But I recommend it for first users.

Summary: Fujifilm FinePix A205 point and shoot Digital Camera
Review: This is the easiest point and shoot digital camera to operate that I have ever owned. It is all automatic and it is so simple to operate, my wife can operate it. This is our second digital camera, Our first camera was not all automatic and it was frustrating to set up. The Fujifilm FinePix A205 takes great pictures that are sharp and clear, even up to and including 8" x 10" enlargements. This is a great camera for those who like taking everyday pictures.
