Review: I've been a photo hobbyist for Several years . Have owned several 35mms with a new Nikon my latest purchase just 2 years ago. Was not a big fan of digital but was sold when in the carribean and saw a realtime comparison of several different cameras. I SOLD !
Very easy to use right away, great, clear images. Love everything about it. Sorry I didn't buy one earlier. I still love my 35. but now have a new traveling companion.

Summary: Great Camera/ Poor View Finder
Review: Yes, it is a great little camera if you limit your shooting to the outdoors or well lite indoor locations. If you're thinking of taking this to a wedding or some other indoor affair, forget it, unless you want to estimate the location of your subject or keep your other eye open to try and compose a decent shot and then go back to the view finder, all the time hoping the party hasn't ended in the meantime.I would have given it 5 stars except for this terrible and practically non-functional view finder in low light.

Summary: av ports
Review: I have just purchased the Fuji 2800 2MP, which is my first digi camera, and I'm having a whale of a time ,being able to email the shots to all my mates the same minute is really a bonus. The only down fall I can say is that you can't show the pic's via the TV, as is has no AV ports built in which would be positive advantage, so you show them via the usb port on your home computer,and then plug in AV cable from there to your TV, but say you visit someone who in this year 2002 has not got a computer at home, what then!!!easy huddle around the camera, it's cosy

Summary: Great Digital Camera
Review: This camera is an excellent value for the price. The 6X zoom is very useful and lets you take high-quality photos from any reasonable distance. I read complaints about low-light situations, but have had only two photos that disappointed me and that may have been because I might have suppressed the flash. It is a lumpy little camera, and finding a carry case required some looking, but I found one that works and I take the camera everywhere. You have to get used to holding it, because of the funny shape, but that is easilly learned. Battery life is quite acceptable on JPEG settings, which I use a lot because it makes E-mailing pics better for down-load time to my friends. My first pic was of my garden on 2M setting. My friends on dial-up chewed me out because it took over 2 minutes to download. For prints and blow-ups, though, this is a wonderful setting, though it uses a lot of memory. I also conserve batteries by using the viewfinder for most applications instead of the screen. I suggest buying an extra set of rechargable NiMh bateries and keep them available. I bought an after-market card reader to conserve batteries at Radio-Shack for [a reasonable price]. I would like to see polarizer filters and IR filters available to help with hazy outdoor conditions. It is pretty much point-and-shoot for most situations, but there are a lot of nice features I plan to learn how to use soon. I would like clearer markings on the battery box for us old folks to read better.

Summary: Great deal
Review: This is my first digital camera and I must say I'm impressed. The only downside I can see for this camera is the poor visibility on the LCD display in low light conditions. If you can work around that though this is a great camera for the price.

Summary: High quality, easy to use, reasonbly priced digital camera
Review: This is my second digital camera, my first being an early model Kodak DC210 Plus model. The Kodak is a fine camera, but I was attracted to the 6X optical zoom and increased resolution of the FinePix 2800. I also did not want to pay an exoribitant price. After reading a number of reviews, I decided to give this camera a try. I have used it for a little more than two weeks and have been overjoyed with its performance. It is small, light, has plenty of features and the zoom performance is excellent. I could not find anything similar in this price range. For a beginner or amateur photographer, I don't think you could ask for a better camera. It is simple to set up, has a wide variety of picture quality settings, plenty of options/features and is just pleasure to use. I also liked the built in USB interface (USB cable and software included). I would have liked to have seen an AC power supply included, but for the price I can't complain about the included accessories. I purchased a 128M SmartMedia card with the unit and can get over 350 pictures in the 2M Normal mode, which gives great resolution. This unit also seems to be a lot faster than the Kodak I own. The 2800 also supports video and voice over, although I have not tried either of these features. For video, I use my Canon ZR25M. With no reservations, I rate the FinePix 2800 as an exceptional camera and very reasonbly priced. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Best Investment!
Review: We have had the Fugi FinePix 2800 for 2 weeks now and am still getting familiar with all the features. It takes the most clear and crisp pictures we have ever seen. There is no need to touch up anything. It is very EASY to operate. It's smaller and lighter than I had antisipated. We also purchased the rechargable batteries and charger and upgraded to a 32mb memory card. This was also a great idea. I would suggest getting the bag, too. This is the best investment we've made in a long time!

Summary: View finder
Review: I recently purchased this camera and have found it to be everything that I need with one big exception. I find it difficult to view the image that I am trying to include in the picture with either the viewfinder or the LCD display. This is especially true when there is dim light or there is dark objects around the subject. Otherwise, the images are sharp, the memory that comes with the camera exceeds that of most cameras and with the additional memory that I purchased I can take more than enough pictures even at the highest resolutions.

Summary: Exceeded my Expectations
Review: I spent way too much time deciding which digital camera to purchase. But if I'm going to spend $500+ on a product that I want to keep for a long time, I'd better make the right decision the first time. I looked at the Fuji Finepix 2800 Zoom and a few of the popular 3mp cameras. I was very leary to get the 2mp over the 3mp but figured with the 6x zoom and the way lower price that it may have an advantage. Let me tell you, I made the right decision. Here's why: Photo Quality: Incredible. Better than I could have hoped for. More than enough. You can't crop down to nothing, but I printed a few 8X10's and it looked like an actual photograph. 2mp is enough for me. PLUS, you usually don't even set the camera on the 2mp setting anyway, 1mp is usually plenty. Controls: The automatic controls are very accurate. I have used a 35mm Nikon SLR for years and it's nice not to have to fuss with all the manual settings. This is primarily my wife's camera anyway and she appreciates just being able to point and shoot. You do have to get used to the 1/2 second delay, but it's not a big deal and common with digital cameras. Viewfinder/LCD - Yeah its dark in low light, but you can still see an outline of your subject in most cases; unless its really dark, but I haven't had much of a problem and the one time I did get my 1 year old out of center I just took another shot. Overall - I'm very happy with this camera. I can't say enough. If you're leary about this camera like I was, don't be, it will exceed your expectations. Oh by the way the web cam feature works great too. Oh and make sure to get rechargeable batteries, and ac adapter for web cam and download and you'll be set. PS - I estimated that I saved about $200 by going with this camera over some of the other 3mp and in my opinion it can't be beat.

Summary: Good camera in this price level
Review: 1. I bought this camera 2 weeks ago. I love it. Considering its price, the optical 6x zoom is very attractive while digital zoom will decrease your resolution. Fuji's color is so vivid, I think no one will be disappointed by its quality, --- I took many photes of flowers(with macro mode), birds(with opt.zoom), and my kid's lovely face,... they are almost 1st-level quality.
2.This price is only for 2M. Maybe, 3-5M camera is sure better considering the resolution while they often require more dollars. I think pay 250--350$ for top-level 2M digital camera is a good idea because our printer today is in such a level. One who need higher resolution may buy this one now and buy another 3-5M camera in next year, ---- I think totally you pay the same money for 2 cameras compared with buying one 3-5M camera today.
Further more, a 3M camera with 3x optical will down to 2M or even less resolution if it has to use digital zoom while 2800 can keep its 2M level with 6x Opt.zoom. That's why 2800 is [more] than 2600. That's why 2800 stands the top-level 2M digital camera.
3.Many complained that the dark viewer. I do not think it is a problem. In fact all the cameras with such kind of viewer have this problem ( not only Fuji). I took some photos at night and they are all OK.
4.I have a complain: Fuji should include charger/re-chargable cells/AC-adapter in the package even they raise the price a little bit. it is a joke that they put AA-cells into the package because no one will really use one-time-cell as a power source in such a camera. So, to do something convenient for customers, ---- my words to Fuji. I bought it after many days' comparation serfing online. I mark 2800 highest with price and function balance.
Generally, this is a good camera for us to buy in this year.
I do like it. If I had to choose once more, I would like to focus on it once more.
