Summary: great camera
Review: This camera combines 3 qualities you will not find in any other camera:great pictures, low price, and unsurpassed ergonomics.It can be operated easily with one hand; it slips easily into a breast pocket; it is laid out in a rational way. There are times indoors when there is not enough light for non-flash photography with this cam, but that is true of most cams. I would not own any other camera.

Summary: Not worth the price !!
Review: Ok, I am the one who sells digital cameras for living. One day I decided to look for a cheap point and shoot camera for myself and the FinePix 2650 caught my eye because of the features that it comes with: small size, optical zoom, glass lens, movie mode lower price, comparing with a previous SmartMedia version FinePix 2600 and surprising - ability to use that camera (as all the rest of Fuji cameras) as a webcam for video conferencing. I checked reviews online on CNET and Amazon.com - it had very nice user comments. So I decided to give it a test. After I took several pictures (which I do every day with other cameras) there was no question left - this camera can't focus. First after the camera identifies the object it remembers its location, puts itself in a sleep mode for about a second or two (which is a lot) so it can actually establish the focus, and after the focus has been established it actually snaps the picture. And as a result - during those one-two seconds being in a sleep mode either your hand can move just a little bit, the object itself can move, or anything else around the object (like a car on a background, or a pedestrian somewhere on a side) which causes the camera to loose it's focus immediately. That's exactly what happened in about 28 pictures out of 30 total.

Summary: Good camera for the price.
Review: I am over all impressed with this camera. It does decent distant shots and decent close up shots. I have had a few lighting problems but rarely.

Summary: Great bang for the $ with a few negatives
Review: I have the 2600 and wanted to say that i'm really glad i got the
2600 instead since it uses SmartMedia. Got a 64MB card for $30
and have never come close to filling it with 159 shots available in 2M/Normal mode.
As said before, the colors are amazing! Especially in daylight
shots!
If you want to take stunning color photos with a digital camera that costs less than $200,
this camera is hard to beat. The only negatives to me are:
1) viewfinder shows less than the actual shot, so you have to
imagine a thick border around each shot as you shoot, cuz that's
what you'll get.
2) indoor shots are more difficult and don't produce nearly the color or clarity
of outdoor shots. Large difference. I do use this camera for indoor shots of items
to put on eBay, and it captures color ok for that, but indoor people shots require a steady hand and basically non-moving subjects.
3) With my 2600 set to 2M/normal mode, the lag time after shot is about 3 sec
and produces 1600 X 1200 pics around 400K. Not great but not 8 sec as stated elsewhere. Overall, this is a great camera for $199. Outstanding travel camera due to it's compact size
and ability to take great outdoor shots.
Data transfer rates w/ USB are ok. Don't need a card reader unless you routinely download 100+ shots at a time.
Use photoshop or other image editing software to get it down to email or web site size as the software provided is not really useful for anything other than downloading the pics to your PC.
and buy some NiMH rechargeables and charger.

Summary: The impatient one again
Review: Oh, and I forgot to add: The time it takes after each picture is so frustrating!! After I've taken a picture, people always ask me if batteries died. grgg! sO IF YOU ARE AS IMPATIENT WITH TECHNOLOGY as I am, spend a few extra $$ (or get your parents to) on a camera that has light speed recoveries and zooms. Otherwise it will seem like you are manually rewinding a camera. (like you do with disposables or pro 35mms) I give this 3 stars mainly because I like the pictures I took. They came out great.

Summary: Great Value and Great Camera
Review: I wanted to upgrade from the HP PhotoSmart 210 (which was big, only held 4 megs and was almost always blurry) when we took a trip across country and I found myself deleting pictures of friends and family to take one of something else I made up my mind that I had to have a new camera. I looked a long time at cameras before I got this one. Over all I am very pleased with it. Good stuff-
*the price (I used bizrate.com and found this to me the lowest price of the places I had heard of) vs. other similar cameras
*clear pictures without a tripod
*expandable memory
*rechargeable AA battery compatible
*lcd for previewing pictures can zoom in on pictures
*web cam mode (make sure the room is well lit)
*many settings like picture size, flash, micro, and self timer
*long instructions with every feature clearly explained and tips on using different settings to get better pictures. Bad Stuff-
*JUNK software, but I just plugged in the usb cable and winme detected it no problem and I used the cd to add the drivers. Then I added a folder to the desktop that is on my computer D:\DCIM\100_FUJI and all I do is open up the folder and there are my pictures and movies, so no need to even install the junk.
*no ac adapter included (so when you first get it, say as a gift or something, and those batteries run out (mine were gone in no time) that's it, no more fun until you sink even more $ into it)
*rechargeable batteries and charger not included
*no camera case included (but the lense cover helps)
*poor quality movies with no sound (avi file type with two sizes to choose from)
*small memory card included (but I can get to my computer often so I don't need a bigger one yet)
*hard to see lcd in low light The good stuff more than out weighs the bad stuff if price is a consideration, but I just couldn't get past that useless, junk software or the lack of ac adapter to give it five stars, still I wouldn't trade it in for another.

Summary: sooo inconvienent!!
Review: Ugh, When I asked for a digital camera I had precise expectations. Being a bit technology impateint I wanted: -Something easy. (it is fairly easy) -Something Small, to place in a bag or whatnot. (It is bulky) -Something with a clear bright screen. (I have yet to use the screen once, it is so dark. Normally the screen is a major plus to the digital, but I still find myself looking through the small hole with this cam.) -Far Far zoom. I like catching things at a distance and taking pictures of crushes without them noticing me. (ok it has a pretty good zoom. I can take pictures of people down the school hall way. But thats unlikely to happen with any digi cam...) -Something I can hook up to the computor AND the tv. (my friend Czarine has a cam that does this, but it's from china so couldn't get that kind. Anyway, I have yet to hook it up to a tv, if possible... And you can only hook it up to the computor using the camera. The memory card has no adaptor thing) -Something convenent. (this is highly the opposite. It has a specific memory card that only certain cameras use! And it's expensive cards......wow.....Was I disapointed when I found this out) -quality pictures. (Yeah the pictures are very good once they are uploaded. I am satisfied) In conclsuion.... My mad sad parents scammed me on my christmas needs. (they did this with the mp3 player that doesn't work either. It is anything but easy. they are just poor quality people) I think the screen display color and memory card situation are the biggest set backs. They ... me off. It is an inexpensive camera, yeah probably the most inexpensive. So that's good... ***Cool thing*** with the flash off, spin/shake the camera and you'll have a cool motion effect. Also, you can take cool pictures with a black light. Use the motion effect with the black light and it looks quite fab.

Summary: 100% Satisfied!
Review: This is my first digital camera. I bought it because it came highly recommended from CNET.com. I would definitely recommend buying the rechargeable batteries. Like most digital cameras, it EATS AA batteries. :) You can buy the rechargeable batteries and charger right from Amazon.com as well. There are different brands available. You can see what's available under accessories. Camera does everything it says in the description. Takes WONDERFUL pictures! Great price...cheaper here then I have seen at other places. It is verrrrry easy to operate...not a lot of bells and whistles that you will probably never use. You can zoom in on your subject reallllly close and still have a high quality picture. The program to upload pictures to your computer is also verrrrry easy to understand and use. There is a few seconds lapse in time from being able to take one picture and then another. Maybe that is standard on all digital cameras...I don't know. The time lapse isn't a big deal to me though. It would only affect me if I was trying to shoot action shots. There is no chance of taking a picture with the cover on...you will get a message that your cover is still on. :) It is light and compact. I am just amazed at what a great camera this is! 100% satisfied! ...

Summary: A great deal
Review: I debated for a long time whether to purchase a digital camera. I don't take a lot of pictures, but the deal I received with this camera was too good to pass up. I've taken pictures through our french doors to our bird feeder and the results are amazing. In fact, those pictures (printed with the Canon s820 printer, but that's another review!) are hanging on the wall in our sun room as we write. It took a little while to figure out the correct settings to use (but since there is no film to waste and no development waiting time that's a breeze), but once that was determined, the results are fantastic. I recommend this camera to the "average" photographer. I can't believe I waited so long!

Summary: The FujiFilm FinePix 2650 2.0 Megapixel Camera....Great!
Review: I recieved this digital camera for my 16th birthday...i actually just got it yesterday and am planning to use it before my party tomorrow...I find it a great camera although I have only taken about 6 pictures with it so far. It's really light wieght and easy to carry around...of course this digital camera cannot compare with other ones out there... of course this review is being written by a teenager, so wiser people may want to check out the other cameras - However it is a really great camera to use for people who just like to take simple pictures...don't expect to become a professional photographer on this one! Great for the money, love the digital display! It's a great camera for a teen!
