Summary: A great Camera
Review: The A201 is very Good camera and I bought it with my own money( I am eight years old). It has satisfied me very well with its price. I am impressed with the quality and I would recomend it to anyone shopping for an entry-level good-quality bash-around camera. I have sent many e-mails using the easy-to-use FinePix Software that comes in the box with the USB (universal serial bus) connector. The software comes with automatic procedures such as saving in the "My Pictures" Folder that comes with every computer. The software comes with the Update and delteable folder called "100_fugi". The only dis is that the camera for some reason makes the target father than the Human eyebut other than that the camera is very good and toped my expectations. At first I thought of buying the Canon Powershot but the store manager at [a local store] gave me a better deal, the A201.

Summary: A Great Little Camera
Review: The Fuji A201 is a great little camera provided you understand it's limitations. No other camera comes close to its picture quality at this price. It takes fantastic outdoor pictures! Taking good indoor pictures can be challenging but is possible. Here are some hints I've found helpful: - Keep your subject within flash range, about 8 ft or so. - Avoid dusty environments. The glowing orbs you see is caused by the flash hitting dust particles. - Switch the camera to Manual mode and experiment with the White Balance before you need to take that important shot. That way you can familiarize yourself with the different light settings and how they affect your picture. - Buy a bigger Smartmedia card (mine is 128 MB) and take lots of experimental shots. You don't need to pay for film development so just keep shooting and erasing. - Check and compare your pictures on a high quality computer monitor rather than the camera's LCD so you can actually see any subtle differences in color, lighting, etc. - Buy rechargeable NiMH batteries and a charger. Buy the highest capacity batteries you can afford (at least 1600 mah). - Remember, these are digital pictures. You can always use some sort of graphic imaging software to touch-up your photos if they are too dark or you don't like the color. And remember, the primary function of this camera is to take digital pictures. It's not webcam nor a video recorder. Have fun!

Summary: blurry indoor pictures
Review: The price is great, the camera small, but if you want indoor pictures, you'll have to expect that half of them will be blurry. I'm pretty disappointed with the flash --and I've tried all of the settings. I wrote to Fuji and they said 'use a tripod.' Outdoor pictures, downloads, processor speed--all great. But I'll get a bigger diameter lens on my next camera.

Summary: Headache Free
Review: This camera is simply great. It is extremely user friendly, takes quality pictures, and has an elegant overall feel and finish. It offers exceptional performance at a reasonable cost. Only, plan to spend a few extra bucks on recharable Nickle Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, as can be expected with any digital camera.

Summary: Fujifilm Fun
Review: This camera is the best and has a good price. To me I do not like to make movies, I just take pictures. If you want to make movies, buy a movie camera that is just for movies. Those come out better than cameras. I feel that the camera is preety good. Cheap and cool. That is all I need to say.

Summary: Bad Drivers
Review: This is a good camera, with a lot of good features for a reasonable price. However the Windows drivers are the worst I've ever seen. I could not get it to work with my Windows 2000 computer at all. I have it kind of working with my XP computer using their XP update but it reboots the computer often (yes reboots when I plug the camera in and turn it on my computer reboots). I have been dealing with these issues for two months now and no new drivers have come out.

Summary: Fine Camera
Review: This is a very fine camera. I wish it were a little cheaper, but it has lived up to the price in the image quality and softwear usability. It was the first USB camera that would work on my computer (a slighty older USB socket model). The photos are clear and sharp. You can zoom and, what is not mentioned, pan around the image on the camera via the very clear LCD monitor. It will take all the SmartCard media sizes (which was a problem with a previous digital camera I had. It only took one size). So image capacity is great. The compact size (and it is a small one) makes it real easy to tote and use (watch those fingers). Even for someone starting out in digital photography, you can't go wrong with this one. I do wish the "movie" feature could increase in time with the larger storage mediums, however. Thanks FujiFilm.

Summary: Good Value for Money
Review: This is my first digital camera, and I was not disappointed. The software was easy to set-up, and I'm also impressed by the quality of the photos. I expected the A201 to be average, but it has certainly exceeded my expectations. Great bang for your buck -- good first camera!

Summary: Very satisfied
Review: This is my first digital camra. I use it specifically to photograph 2- dimensional and 3- dimensional art work. I have been very pleased with the quality of the photos. I also use it to photograph landscapes, although that is not the primary purpose of the camera for me. I have also been satisfied with it in that way. Sometimes I have had "spots" when photographing outside, but I think this is related to the light source. I am very pleased.

Summary: Incredible value
Review: This little camera is a masterpiece of modern technology, combining efficiency with simplicity. Although not "top of the line", it's a breeze to set up and use, with enough features to satisfy all but advanced digital photographers. Key advantages over other cameras include: (1) Astonishing colour, (2) Super fast recovery (when using NiMH batteries), (3) WebCam capabilities, (4) Drag'n'Drop functionality, using the camera itself as a drive. The only real disadvantage would be the lack of optical zoom, but I guess that you get what you pay for...
