Summary: Very good at daytime, bad at night-time
Review: This is a very nice entry level digital camera. It is excellent to use at day time with ample lights. BUT, at night time you will see some white spots like snowflakes. So if you are looking for something to use just to get average pictures this is a very good one, very compact and easy to use.

Summary: Easy to use, good quality, very low price!
Review: This camera is an outstanding choice for the average snapshot photographer. Easy to set up, easy to use, and high quality pix that rival the output of cameras twice the price. At 1.3 megapixels you cannot expect to be able to make 8x10 prints, but 4x6 and 5x7 are excellent, as are pix attached to email or posted to websites. Automatic mode works just fine in many situations, but manual overrides and options like forced flash and red eye reduction add to the versatility and usefulness of what is, at the end of the day, mainly a snapshot camera. Fuji's documentation is pretty good (not great) and fairly well presented. If stumped, stop and go back to the instructions. The answer is there. I've been well satisfied with the Fuji SLR I've owned and used for 20 years, and find myself using and enjoying my new A101 even more.

Summary: Big, bulky and slow
Review: This was a good camera at the time I bought it, which was about two years ago. Now I realize that I need to buy a new one. The camera itself takes moderately good pictures but that's about the only positive side to it. When you want to look at the pictures you've taken on the screen, it's a huge battery waster. My biggest pet peeve is the time it takes to 'reload' after taking a picture. It's an ok camera if you just want to try one out.. but it's no good if you're an avid photo taker.

Summary: Battery Amatures
Review: It is obvious that not many of you reviewing this great little camera have used digital cameras before.
All digital cameras eat batteries. Period. I have a Pro Model digital camera that will suck the life out of a set of alkalines in 20 shots through the viewfinder.
I bought this camera to take with me everywhere and to snap spontaneous shots and it works fantastically for the money.
Get yourself some rechargable MAHA NI-MH batteries and you'll love it.

Summary: Love this camera
Review: I was looking for a decent but cheap camera & since this one was cheap I bought it. It gave bright, clear pictures and I had no trouble loading them onto the pc. Later, I decided to return it & get an even cheaper camera that had the same 1.3 megapixels. What a difference. The other camera took blurry pictures & not nearly as brigtht & colorful. I took it back & exchanged it for this model again & have been happy ever since. Yes - the batteries do go bad quick but the previous reviews offer good advice that I have heeded: buy a charger/renew batteries; don't use the lcd whenever possible. I didn't get the a/c adaptor cord because I figured the battery charger with 2 sets of battereis was all I needed. The idea was to stay cheap. Plus if I sell this camera later, the charger will always be good for other items, while the ac adaptor would go with the camera.

Summary: Great little point and shoot
Review: I have enjoyed this camera even though it goes through batteries the way a film camera goes through film!!!(if not worse). I really like the webcam ability. It is a great camera for those everyday point and shoot scenarios. The resolution is perfect for web and online sharing of photos. Recommend that you buy the largest storage card you can afford. This makes those long trips easier since you don't have to clear off the memory.

Summary: Great Little Camera
Review: I bought this camera six months ago and I take it everywhere with me. The picture quality is good for near distances, though the limit of the resolution will show up when photographing a distant object. I also use the camera for taking short videos. Check out ... for short videos of Leapfest 2002 - a parachute comptetion.I found it helpful to buy several 64mb smartmedia cards, and for [$$$], pick up a usb card reader. It works with both my laptop and desktop computers, so you do not have to worry about using up your batteries or buying an ac adapter to transfer the images and video. Beware of cheap smart media though - I had a 64mb PNY card quit after just two uses. The Fuji card I bought has worked constantly for 6 months and a couple thousand pictures.

Summary: Great Little Camera
Review: My first camera was along the same lines as far as price. It only lasted about 6 months and just quit working. I was lucky enough to have purchased a 1 year replacement and got this one instead. It is also a 1.3 Megapixel but for some reason the pictures are just plain better. This camera is smaller and more attractive then the Sipix I had before. It's very simple to use and the the controls on the camera are pretty much self explanatory. Downloading is a snap with the provided software. You just plug your camera into the USB cable and it launches the software for viewing/downloading. The LCD screen on the back lets you view pictures and video taken by browsing one by one or viewing in a thumbnail mode. The camera takes 20 second videos that are a bit grainy and without sound but I have spliced them together and added music and made some cute movies to send to the family. I'm very please with my Fuji FinePix camera and would suggest to those who are looking for a good digital camera.

Summary: Excellent value for money
Review: For less than $170 (July '02) this camera is a solid performer at a sensible price. Normal resolution is more than adequate for the web and e-mail. Fine resolution results in quality good enough for at least 4*6" prints at your local Kits Cameras or similar. The non-audio 20 seconds of video is a bonus IMO. With WindowsXP (Home or Pro) on your PC you'll find this camera very easy to use, it is very straightforward to publish pictures to the web or automatically shrink and e-mail them instead. Only 2 downsides that I've found;
1. The appears to be a tendency for dust to creep into the LCD disply area. Cosmetic only.
2. Battery life w/ LCD use is relatively low. So, don't use the LCD for every photo or get the latest rechargeable AA batteries. I strongly recommend this camera for those seeking excellent value for money.
