Summary: Anyone notice?
Review: Has any one notice the confussion between the shutter & power buttons??
Or is it only me???I keep hitting the power (off) button when I want to take a picture, therefore loosing the picture. Good thing I haven't tried to take "once in a life time" photos yet. This is my only real complaint, enough for me to return the camera.
I rate 3 stars due to the power button, 5 stars for everything else Otherwise I agree with everyone els that this has great features and photo quality, for the price

Summary: Decent Digital Camera for the Price
Review: I purchased this camera in haste with a vacation pending and little time to shop around. I wanted something compatible with the Smart Media cards I already had from an earlier Fuji camera. The 2 MP file size is ideal, giving an perfect balance of image quality and quantity. Pluses: Shape of the camera -- fits in the hands like a conventional 35mm SLR camera (although smaller). This is helpful for those who are used to using 35mm cameras and don't adapt well to some of the funky new digital camera shapes that are available today. Also can be held with one hand if desired. 6X Lens -- Great range, allowing for perfectly framed pictures of most subjects. Simplicity -- not much here to complicate matters. EVF -- it is nice to know you will be taking an image of exactly what you frame up in the view finder, however... Minuses: Low light performance of EVF -- There is no way around it, the Electronic View Finder does not function well in low light (like during an evening wedding reception). Leave the camera on a wide angle, point and shoot, and review the image. Repeat as necessary. Lens cover leash is too short -- When the camera is turned on the lens extends out a bit. The lens cover leash can get caught around the corner of the camera body, inhibiting the lens from extending during startup. Auto focus "freeze frame" -- When depressing the "shutter" slightly the camera auto focuses on the subject inside of two yellow brackets in the EVF. The camera freezes the image for a split second, temporarily blinding you from your subject. If your subject has moved you will have to re-focus. This has an up side to it though -- the freeze frame gives you a split second to review the part of the image the camera is focused on. As long as you don't let up on the "shutter" button the camera will remained focused on that part of the subject. This allows you to focus on subjects that aren't in the middle of the frame, by pointing the camera and locking the auto focus directly at the part of the image you want as the primary subject, and then reframing the image so you subject isn't always in the dead center. This makes for good picture composition. Overall, this is a great value in the ever changing world of digital cameras.

Summary: Great little camera.
Review: After an exhaustive review of camera's in the ... price range to replace my lost Olympus D-100, I chose the Fuji FinePix 2800 mostly for the 6x zoom. Some of the review had me worried about certain aspects of the camera, but I went ahead and bought it. I was VERY pleasantly surprised when I recieved the camera. The 6x zoom works very well, and the camera is a joy to use. It's not perfect, but the features (and price) far outweigh the negatives for me. Pluses: - 6x Zoom
- Great color and image.
- USB camera port works flawlessly with Linux for image transfer.
- 60 second movies with sound.
This is the one that surprised me. I knew about the ability
to take short movies, but the reality is much better than
than I thought it would be. It reminds me of the old
Super8 home movies my grandparents used to take. Minuses: - No active autofocus. Autofocus doesn't do well in low light.
- Lenscap instead of door to protect lens.
- LCD viewfinder. Actually, it works pretty well, even in lowish
light situations, if you turn up the brightness setting. I had many more problems with the autofocus. But the viewfinder does take getting used to, and the pause in the viewfinder screen during autofocus is a bit annoying. I haven't had any problems with it eating batteries, since I bought some good high capacity NiMH rechargables. The camera is somewhat short and squat which makes finding a camera bag challenging, but it is comfortable to hold due to a nice right hand grip. All in all, it's a great little camera at a great price. The 6x zoom and image quality is worth the price, and the mini-camcorder feature is just icing on the cake. The autofocus can be annoying sometimes when indoors, but other than that I love this camera.

Summary: Gives you what it promises
Review: Have had this camera for nearly 6 months and it has taken some fabulous shots. For the price tag that it comes in at - it is a neat buy. Also the 6x zoom (which was the feature that made me buy it) is just perfect (for me). On the downside it seems to have problems in low-light conditions (as almost all digital cameras do) and that is an area which leaves some things to be desired. Also since the 6x zoom is not stabilized you can use it only in the best of lighting conditions.
All in all a great value for money and a good buy for enthusiasts who do not want all manual controls but do desire a lot more zoom power.

Summary: 1st time buyer
Review: This is my 1st digital camera. I probably read too many reviews by disgruntled camera buffs. I've had it for a few days and love this thing. It takes great pictures and is very easy to use. Even on 1MP setting, I was able to take sharp and colorful photos for printing at home. The EVF is not a big deal, just have at least one light on if shooting indoors at night. Get a card reader for your computer, rechargeable batteries, and your set! I am very happy with my purchase, and excellent price from Amazon.

Summary: First Camera I Have Purchased Since My Polaroid Instamatic
Review: Nice unit, It is not only great to be taking pictures again, but with this camera it is great fun. I researched digital cameras extensively before I purchased this one. Within Five minutes I was taking great pictures. It was very easy to figure out how to use it. I just kept saying "WoW" every time I downloaded another picture.

Summary: This is a great choice
Review: I didn't have time to conduct any special surveys or waste time at computer stores. Luckily, I bumped into this cool digital from FujiFilm and got excited. This piece is great, very small yet powerful and of great quality. Images are sharp, even on low-mode, the 60 sec video option is great and the web-cam ability is even cooler. Installation on WinXP is a snap, menus and configurations are pretty straight forward. I personally didn't look at the manual AT ALL. This is a great camera for your money! Be sure to include re-charging batteries and another memory card at your purchase. Both gets empty pretty fast. And no, I don't work for Fuji :)

Summary: I LOVE THIS CAMERA!
Review: We bought this camera as an upgrade from our first digital which was only 0.8 megapixels. This camera takes awesome pictures and the flash card makes downloading a snap. We have an HP Photosmart printer that the card just pops into and reads as a removable drive, so we don't even need the USB connector. The pictures are very clear and the menus on the screen are easy to use. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone!

Summary: Only 1 problem that I see so far
Review: I have never written a review and am a true digital novice so I will stick to the basics. I bought this camera because I liked the way it felt in my hand. Also my son has an older fuji digital that has taken some great pictures with less resolution so I thought this would be a great starter camera. I used it for the first time at a wedding and it did take great pictures outdoors and indoors but and this is the big one, in low light and darker (the all important decorating of the car) you can NOT see anything on the screen or in the viewfinder. I found myself pointing and shooting blindly. Amazingly the pictures turned out ok, not well lit but ok, but it is my major complaint. Other than that, I have found it easy to use and I found myself taking alot more pictures and I think that is the whole idea.

Summary: Great for a beginner
Review: Its excellent value for money. The 6x zoom is awesome. But those are looking for more creative control over shutter and aperture, etc. this is not the camera for you. It only gives manual control over exposure value and white balance. Although by playing around with these values you can take some excellent shots too.
