Summary: Great photos and easy to use and carry.....
Review: I received my f401 just in time for the Thanksgiving Holidays. I took over 150 photos and 3 short videos and had tons of room to spare on my 128 card. The photos turned out beautiful. I do believe that the flash is a bit too low for some indoor shots of subjects not close to camera. Now that I know I can work around that problem. I used the suppressed flash and got a good shot of my husband in the dark with Christmas lights behind him. He showed up as well as the lighted decorations abt 20 ft behind him. A tripod is suggested when using this feature or sit the camera down on a good solid surface and line up the shot.
It is very easy to use. The macro has given me some awesome shots.
Be sure and read the manuel and learn the functions...especially the suppressed flash.
My husband is very impressed and he is a 35mm man.
I also got the docking station that is worth it's weight in gold for this camera.
Very, very happy with my Fuji f401!

Summary: My feeling about F401
Review: I recently purchased the fujifilm F401 camera and I say that my money isn't wasted.

F401 is a compact nice looking piece of work that, for what it is, delivers very good quality pictures. I have printed 24x30 size pictures taken with this camera (setting 4Normal) and they look fine.

I have tested the camera in both outdoors and indoors conditions and it has performed very well. In outdoors conditions I have got excellent results while for indoors although the photos came out nice, I have the impression that the flash is not 100% adequate.

Disadvantages of the camera is that it does not have a focusing illuminator, which makes it impossible to focus in very low light conditions and that it lacks of extensive manual controls which is not usually expected for a camera of this class. When focus fails if the subject is 2-4 meters away the photo comes out ok.

The usb connection and software (finepix viewer) is also well behaved. When the camera is connected with the PC a virtual disk is created on the computer containing the camera photos, like accessing a CD, which makes it easy to use any software you like to see and copy the pictures from camera to PC.

Generally I would rate this camera as 90%.

Summary: Great Value
Review: I went to Ritz(wolf) to get the F401 after seeing the price on Amazon. I had to pay tax but got some free software(Picaso) which was very good for arranging photos, etc. The cradle is handy and allows you to use the camera as a high quality webcam.
At 199 it is pretty hard to beat. The telephoto is very easy to use the menu is less easy but OK. It is far better than the Olympus Digital 280 I had before. The rechargeable batteries and cradle make it very cheap and easy to operate. It also takes 90 second AVI movie clips and allows narration. The small size allows you to fit it in a shirt or jacket poctet.

Summary: Works great with Macs!
Review: Not a high megapixel camera, but very well built and very stylish. I didn't need more than 2 MPs anyway, since I don't want to deal with large files. Works super with Macs! 3x zoom is fast and accurate. A top pick for a high-quality digital camera for under three hundred bux.

Summary: Will you give the bucks for the best camera in the market?
Review: Ok. What's the name again? Ah! Fujifilm FinePix F401 2.1MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom. Long name, but this digital camera will come for a long time. My pals gifted this to me a few Xmases ago (I think 2000's Xmas) and this beauty has worked wonders for me. A travel writer myself, with a name which I will reveal:Thomas Davis. Have ya heard of me? My spelling is WAY better than this display.

OK OK. Back to topic time now (or rather, maybe not!). I travelled to Anchorage, London, Rome, Shanghai, Moscow, Perth, Pretoria, Brasilia, Santa Cruz, Mexico City, Seattle, Ottawa, Washington D.C, Paris, Tokyo, Auckland, Nairobi, Baghdad (OOOH! THAT ONE WAS SCARY!!), Riyadh, Dubai, Berlin, Chicago, Casablanca, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Vladivostok, Milan, Zurich, Harare and Windhoek (I AM A TRAVEL WRITER, REMEMBER) within the 3 years's space from my home in New York City (all in order, as taken from my travel jottings) and I'm travelling to Dublin this winter to see my folks in Ireland. I DO TRAVEL ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS. Why am I talking about travel here?? 'Coz I have taken the Fujifilm FinePix F401 2.1MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom EVERYWHERE I WENT!! And I took believe it or not 2500+ photos with it alone!!!!

So this camera is really high class, high priced (but worth it), cool lookiong, rugged and able to rough just about anything and everything.

SO I RECCOMEND THIS CAMERA TO THE WORLD!!! ANY HOME IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT THIS LITTLE BEAUTY!!!

Summary: This camera's a beast
Review: There really aren't many flaws with this camera. It does everything you need. The movie mode is especially useful, the e only problem being that each movie can only be 2 minuts long.
. Other than that this camera is absolutely fabuolous. Get it now. It's also cute and makes cool noises. That alone is worth the [price].

Summary: Fuji Review
Review: This was my first digital camera purchase. I bought it because of its size and video capabilities. Two weeks into it, I am very pleased. Its easy to use, compact, and takes quality photos. However, if you plan to use the video feature, I would suggest buying an additional memory card. For the money, its the best camera available.

Summary: Broken camera
Review: When I got the camera, it was great. It had all the functions a beginner and advanced digital photographer would need for this type of camera. The display is great and everything seems perfect. BUT about 5 months after i purchaced the camera, there was (and still is) a problem with my lens. The lens would get stuck out and it would not put itself away, and the autofocus was broken. I thougt "This will be a repair that could take no longer than a week."

Well, I was WRONG. At first the dealer wanted to charge 150 bucks for a repair that would take 6-8 weeks. I then mentioned that the camera is still under the manufacture's warrenty. Then they said "Oh! In that case, Fuj!F!lm usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks to repair the camera. WOW!! 2-3 MONTHS for a camera repair. I am a photograper, and my job depends on thsi camera, and i can not wait 2-3 months for it to be repaired, and i cant afford to replace it.

Thanks Fuj! for [messing] up 4 vacations and my job.

Dont get me wrong, this is a GREAT camera, but just dont get it broken.
