Summary: Great starter camera
Review: I did not have any problems loading the software like some of the people who posted reviews here. As soon as I plug the camera into the usb port the Fuji software automatically downloads the pictures to their viewer software. The pictures are very good quality. On a epson 870 photo printer the results are excellent for a 4X6 print (I have not tried to print anything bigger). It is not a replacement for a 35mm camera with a zoom. I still use my Canon Sureshot 135 camera if I am shooting alot of pictures, like when I go on vacation, but if I only want to get some quick snapshots (which is most of the time) this is the camera I use. I can only get 10 pictures on the 8meg smartmedia card at the highest quality setting. I will probably get a 32meg or 64 meg card soon.

Summary: So far, so good, on both Mac and PC
Review: I got the camera today and proceeded to try it out both at work and at home. I had no problems whatsoever setting up the drivers and software either on my iMac at work or on my Win98 machine at home. The camera's really easy to use, the only possible drawback is that all the menu items appear as tiny little icons on the LCD screen - perhaps not a good choice for those with bad eyesight. We've been taking pictures all night, and everything seems to be working out fine. Obviously, I haven't tested it in all possible conditions, and I know that battery life will be an issue. I did a lot of shopping around, and this really did seem like the best bang for the buck. ...I'd definitely recommend looking around on the web, taking your time, reading reviews, and deciding what you'd like out of a digital camera. If, however, you're a novice user, would like something that's easy to set up and equally easy to use, I'd definitely recommend the Finepix 1300. The USB interface is quite speedy, it's lightweight and portable, and picture quality is pretty good. I'd think about purchasing some rechargable batteries, a carrying case (there's no lens cap), and perhaps a wall adapter (especially if you'll be using it for Ebay or something like that). Anice beginner's digital camera, with a lot of good deals out there if you look around.

Summary: Great!
Review: I got the Fuji Finepix 1300 for my birthday and boy is it a great camera. The usb connection is speedy, the pictures are pretty clear (sometimes blurry because of shaky hands), and the price is right. The LCD screen is very clear and responsive. The only thing I dont like about this camera is that it does not have a lens cover, so be very careful. Its recommended that you get some good rechargable batteries.

Summary: Fuiji FinePix 1300 1.3MP digital camera
Review: I have had this camera since July and I love it. It is easy to use. It has clear instructions. The battery life was short, but it was the batteries that came in the camera. I don't know if the new ones will have a short life, less than 50 pictures.

Summary: Bad Software
Review: I purchased the Fuji Fine Pix 1300 a couple of weeks ago. I have an AGFA 780 which works fine. The Fuji camera took great pictures. However, when I went to download the software, I kept getting an error message. I was not able to sucessfully load the software. I notice several other people are having the same problem. My computer is a Compaq 750 mhz with Windows 98. If I can get the software to work properly the camera would be great.

Summary: Batterys last forever
Review: i read someones review saying that this cammera drainded batteries, not at all i survived 2 weeks with 1 set of batteries, mabey the person never turned the cammera off, when in natural light you cant tell weather the cammera is on or off unless you have the display on beacuse the green on light fades and is hard to see.

Summary: Easy, Good, Cheap
Review: I shopped around for digital cameras for a month before deciding on the Fuji 1300. Its low price makes it a fantastic first digital camera, and photo quality is excellent.
I bought the camera a few days before heading off to France on vacation, and was up to speed on the camera's features within the first day.
Installing the program onto your computer is a bit of a beeyach, but only took me a few minutes. I've never had any problems since installation.
My biggest recommendation? Get two sets of rechargable AA batteries--like most digitals, the 1300 eats batteries.

Summary: Got what I want.
Review: I took me several days to figure out how to get the best result. But once I knew the tricks, I got crispy pictures both on the sunny beach and in the dark room! I love it.

White dots may appear in the pictures when the dusts land on the lens. That's annoying. Well, bear with it. I got what I want at such a price.

Summary: Amazingly capable and a best kept secret for value
Review: I was introduced to this camera when a friend sent me some stunning day and night photos taken in and around Kuwait City (one of the cleanest and most beautiful cities in the world). I thought he had taken the shots with a 35 MM and scanned in the prints. I was shocked when I found out that not only were the pictures taken with a digital camera, but with what is considered a low-end digital.

Here are some strong points: the camera does a wonderful job of night shots without added equipment. It is literally point and shoot, with both an LCD display and optical viewfinder. It uses high-speed USB, which is a significant improvement over serial connections for uploading photos into your PC. Also it's small. It fits easily in a man's jacket pocket or woman's purse (well, not my purse because I happen to carry three cell phones, a pager and a Palm VIIx - a girl needs her toys).

The software with which it ships is, well, not so good. I use Paintshop Pro version 7.0, which will directly download the photos and allow me to perform corrective action. If you get this camera get Paintshop Pro 7 too!

All controls are intuitive and easy to use. It will also take close-ups well if you set up the shots properly. I have a highly detailed photo taken with this camera of an intricate 1/4" object that was taken 8 inches away. Every detailed came out in high contrast and high resolution. However, to achieve this I had to use a mini tripod to absolutely steady the camera and play with lighting (at 8" the camera and photographer cast shadows that need to be compensated for with strategically placed lighting).

Some people may view this as an entry level camera, especially with all of the mega pixel models out there. However, I am completely satisfied with the quality of the photos, which print beautifully on my Epson 770 printer using glossy photo paper. If you are a professional who is looking for a bridge between film and digital, perhaps this one is not for you. If, however, you want a decent digital camera that can take low resolution shots for e-mail and web pages, or high resolution shots for printing and keeping, this might be all the camera you need. I doubt if I'll outgrow it anytime soon. 5 stars for ease of use, gorgeous photos and value pricing.
