Summary: at three years old, it still works... but not as well
Review: I have enjoyed this camera since my MIL got it for us in 2001. But now it's starting to show it's age, and after countless uses and trip and kids we are finally needing a new one. But I like this one for "beat up" purposes. It still works ok. It captures the dust in the air in pictures and light reflects on it, but if you don't use the flash, all the pics are blurry. Good now inexperienced photographers, and to post online... but not to good quality for printing out pictures.

Summary: Buy a universal adapter to save on battery cost>>
Review: I haven't had my camera but a few weeks and love it. It is easy to use and my 1st digital camera. I took pictures a few minutes after taking it out of box. I bought a universal adapter for [price]at electronic store and it has saved on batteries, I use adapter when downloading pictures on computer. Some stores cheaper than others, check store prices. I am going to buy rechargeable batteries and charger later. I also was able to buy my camera at a great price. My shopping around saved me $$.

Summary: Finally, a digital camera for dummies!
Review: I just bought a Fuji digital camera, Model 2300 and I love it! It's absolutely user friendly and easy to use. It's my first digital camera and I'm thrilled that I don't ever have to buy film again and wait for processing. I am still very new to this way of taking photos, but so far, it's so so easy to get quality photos and quickly. I can delete, edit, save, e-mail, enlarge and enhance all on-line. It's one of the coolest ways to have memories saved forever. Plus, this little camera was very reasonable in price and fits into my pocket or purse.

Summary: Very easy to use Digital Camera
Review: I purchased this camera for my wife while in Miami on a business trip. The cost was reasonable and the addition 64Meg.smart media card was an additional bonus included in overall price. Before reading any instructions, I was able to take this camera right from the box and use...a great feature for men. Now that I'm back home and have time to review the manaul I find that this camera has more than just pretty looks. The one draw back if any that really bothers me is the battery life. This camera seems to consume the batteries in big gulps. Since I'm not an expert with using camera's I have not fully explored all the benifits of this camera yet. Aside from the huge gulps of power that is comsumed, I find this camera very handy especially when uplaoding the pictures on to the computer. That was a breeze.This ia good buy overall if you look at price vs. features. Compare that with other similar cameras and your money will be well spent.

Summary: Great camera but...
Review: I received my camera in Aug and used it for a vacation. I thought the pictures that it took were outstanding and the quality was great. This weekend I went to use the camera and tried to flip it on only nothing happened. I put a fresh bunch of batteries in and still it didn't work. Luckily the warranty is still in place and I hope to have a replacement soon.

Summary: Great higher resolution camera for less money
Review: I shopped 'til I dropped for an inexpensive 2.3 megapixel camera
balancing cost to features and settled on this one. I was not disappointed. The good first, accurate fleshtones,ease of use,choice of resolutions, flash otions (low light,delayed,etc.) and lighting types (incandescent compensation,flourescent etc.),viewfinder/lcd ability,self-timer,and close-up option.
The whines: no optical zoom (at this price I was not all that concerned only used for scenery shots), the ready led is too close to the viewfinder (blinding in low light),have to switch the batteries quick or lose day/date.
Not alot of complaints considering the price of other comparable nodels (kodak ~same price but with less resolution options),canon, olympus, nikon, hp, etc. all of which were pricey by comparison (...), I took this camera on vacation and got good use including taking some total darkness shots with the delayed flash which lit the subjects beautifully, the resolution allows for prints which are photo/framing grade with no real adjustment. The optical zoom would have been useful for subjects which were more than 50 yds. away but you can zoom in your software and get close without sacrificing the quality up to that point.
Overall a great buy for the price.

Summary: Great image quality right out of the box
Review: I was very impressed with the image quality of the Fuji FinePix 2300 Digital Camera as it came direct to my doorstop. Images were crisp and clear and the macro function created some beautiful close-up shots. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking to get started taking pictures and slowly adjust settings as one becomes more familiar with the camera. Quite possibly the best digital camera you can buy for "the money"!

Summary: Poor lens quality creates distortion
Review: I'm new to the world of digital cameras and was impressed with how easily the FUJIFILM FinePix 2300 images could be manipulated. Brightness levels can be adjusted after the pictures have been taken. The zoom and panning feature alow images to be cropped for aesthetically better compositions. I am impressed with the quality of the macro photo funtion. Reviewing images on the display makes it easy to delete bad pics. But, I do have one big complaint. The lens quality distorts images. I intended to use this camera to document painted portraits and other artwork, however, the distortion is too significant. You can spot this by taking a picture of a round plate holding the camera vertically and then again with the camera held horizontally. A distortion can be seen with the round circle appearing slightly elongated one direction and compressed in the other. I will run this test on any future camera I buy and am considering returning the camera even though I am impressed with the ease of its use.

Summary: Great little first digital camera
Review: I've been very pleased with this small and inexpensive digital camera. It's been a good one with which to learn about digital photography. Realiable quality for family photos. Eats batteries at an alarming rate, so get an AC adapter.
