Summary: Problematic USB Drivers
Review: This seems like a decent camera for the money (if I could just get it to talk to my computer), but I have had a bear of a time trying to get the USB drivers to load correctly. I found the Fuji documentation and web site to be dissappointing with regard to troubleshoting for this problem. I fear I may have to return the camera since I've already put hours of my personal time into the driver problem -- I've used many digital cameras and this is the first time I've had this much trouble just getting the drivers properly installed!

Summary: Great Camera for the Price
Review: On it's own, this camera is strictly average. Add the price into the equation, and this is a GREAT camera. If you are strictly into standard photos, I really don't think you can beat this camera. It even has a lot of extra features that I frankly don't need. The AC Adapter is a MUST. Like all digital cameras, it eats batteries with a ravenous appetite.

Summary: The Mother of all Reviews for this camera
Review: This camera has the best focus free lens and takes sharp pictures despite no focusing system. But to me this is a plus point since you are unlikely to produce off-focused results by accidentally pointing at the wrong subject. It is a basic camera and has a nine zone metering system. but produces pretty dark pictures even in day light. This is due to the small aperture that comes with this camera. Fujifilm prob used the same AE exposure program from a camera with a bigger aperture! Hence i suggest using it in Manual mode with a EV compensation of +0.6 to +0.9 for day conditions and +1.5 for in the shadow and night conditions. Anyhow this camera was not supposed to take night pics. Hence night pics are pretty much restricted to night Portraits. Landscape mode has to be achieved with Tripod. Colour is vivid, but i see pics from Olympus C-1 (similar class) reproducing more faithful colours when indoor. Outdoor colours are fine for the fuji. With flourescent lamp indoor, you have to use the customised white balance mode. I normally choose the bulb icon. The "movie" mode is for fun and don't take it too seriously. The software that comes with it can help you to make some fun videos akin to Charlie Chaplin movie. But you must use another software to remove the avi audio component to achieve better effects with your own sound / music library. On the whole, Best Camera in 1.3Mega Pix Category. Fuji should dominate in this category.

Summary: Good for beginners
Review: This camera give an excellent image quality. For beginners in the digital photography is very good. However, the batteries don't last 48 shoots, it takes too long to save a picture, no zoom available, tricky flash options. Is good for non exigent pictures.

Summary: Great Pictures for the price
Review: I recently also bought a Finepix A101. It was on sale...When I started taking pictures and going through the manual, I couldn't believe I am getting all these features for such a low price... sure it's a 1.3 megapixel, but that's good enough for me. The only complaint I have is when using the manual mode to take pictures without the flash, the picture usually comes out blurry. I found out u have to have a very steady hand to take pictures in that mode. Overall, great camera... compared it to my friends camera which cost 3 times as much and picture quality is about the same!

Summary: Best 1 megapixel I've tried, but still not perfect.
Review: I have owned several 1 megapixel cameras before. And so far this one is the best. It gets good battery life compared to other cameras. The people that complained about battery life have obviously not tried the competition. This camera also takes good pictures, is easy to use, easy to download pictures to computer, and this camera is very small! Not quite as small as the Canon Elph, but close! and for less than half the price. The only negative about this camera, is problems with indoor pictures. Without fail, at least half of my indoor pictures have random white spots in them. They range from pinhead to quarter sized and are randomly placed throughout the picture. I called Fuji and they said it was normal and it was caused by the flash reflecting off of dust and airborne particles. They told me it happens to a lot of digital cameras. I have owned several digital cameras, and so far this is the only one that has done this. Upon further research, I found an article linking this problem with the distance of the flash to the lens. As you can see from the A101's picture, they are only a few millimeters apart on this camera. The problem is so bad, that now I take 4 pictures of everything so I can make sure once will not have white spots in it. I guess in the end, you always get what you pay for.

Summary: AWESOME Digital Camera ...
Review: This is a very nice and affordable digital camera. As for my experience with the battery life, If you don't use the display, the battery life is pretty good. I do recomend rechargable batteries and a power adapter. Use the power adapter ESPICALLY when you hook the camera up to a PC or use the video mode. I still have not tried the web cam function, but if it's like the other features, functions of this camera, it will be very nice. My ONLY complaint with this camera is the self-timer. Once you set the self-timer and take a picture, you have to set the self-timer again if you want to take another picture using the self-timer function. I have owned another digital camera (Polaroid) and while the pictures it took are NOT as good as this camera (FujiFilm). The Polaroid camera had a self-timer setting that would stay on while you took as many self-timed pictures as you wanted to, then all you did was to turn off the self-timer function and go about your business. OVERALL I do recomend this camera to EVERYONE!

Summary: Great pictures - easy to use
Review: This is a great camera for first time digigal buyers. It's light weight, takes great pictures and is so easy to use. One thing I really like is that the "lag" time after you take the picture is non-existent. It's the closest to using a regular 35mm that I've come across. If I could stress to all first time digital buyers, please expect to buy rechargable batteries and a larger smart media card and you will be set. Digitals ALL eat up the batteries. And the media card is an investment ... since you use it over and over again, unlike film. Buy this camera, you won't be dissappointed.

Summary: Beautiful!
Review: I've had mine for about a month now and have had a wonderful time with it. The A101 is a small and sturdy unit with many more features than you pay for. The automatic setting works well both normal and up-close photos but the extent of manual adjustments that can be made really impressed me the most, adding a lot of flexability to shooting a variety of shots. Get the NiMH rechargable batteries right off- using the flash regularly will really drain your wallet quickly without um. Great buy. At the time of writing, Amazon's review said macs weren't supported but that's not accurate. Much of the general data for the cam isn't really represented on the review page. Research elsewhere for a complete and accurate list of features. Enjoy!
