Summary: Really like this camera
Review: It's my first digital camera, but I'm a Graphic Designer so am used to working with digital images. The picture resolution is great, and the camera itself is small and easy to use. The software is also easy -- I tend to use more advanced graphic programs, but for downloading to my PC, the image software works fine. I like the camera display screen - it has a good picture and the zoom feature is fun. Still have a lot more to go over with the camera's other uses, but really like it so far.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: I just got this camera today after it was recommended by a friend. I'm amazed! I've never really worked a digital camera before so I was worried I'd spend hours figuring it out. But it was pretty easy to figure out. I just started pushing buttons to see what happened and I figured it out that way. You have a display button which turns on the lcd display. There is also a menu button and that brings up the menu where you can navigate your way around to set the flash mode, self timer etc. If you are looking for a camera to take pictures of the family, this is a wonderful choice. My pictures are all very sharp and clear. For XP users: I am using XP and all I had to do was install the normal software on the enclosed CD and then download the XP update from their website (...) before hooking up the camera to my computer. I've taken a ton of pictures today and haven't had any trouble using Windows XP with this camera. Compare this camera to other cameras in the same price range. You will see what a great value you are getting in the finepix 2600. I was pleased to see that this camera had a 16 MB smartmedia card (a lot come with only 8 MB). It also comes with a charger and rechargeable batteries. This camera does not come with a case so you may want to consider purchasing one separately. The FinePix 2600 is a lot of bang for the buck. I couldn't be happier with my camera.

Summary: cheapest 2M pixel with 3x optical zoom but..
Review: turns out that it is a very good product. Some digital camera's LCD panel is not real time, you can see the time lag... but not this one.With the 35 dollars rebate, it is the best possible price for a 2M pixel camera with 3x optical zoom. And it is made in Japan, not some other countries in which I don't really trust the workmanship.

Summary: Great for beginners
Review: I don't know much about pixels and images etc. but I do know the pictures turn out great. I liked the price first and when I got the camera I liked the quality especially how the lens is covered. I definitely have to use the strap because I dropped it once (on carpeting, thank goodness) but it was not damaged in any way. My grandson likes the video option but I haven't used it. Since I'm an old granny, it took me a while to figure out how to download the pictures with the USB thing. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

Review: I am not a person who knows much about electronics, and especially digital cameras,but the 2600 by fuji was very simple to learn, after messing around with it for just a couple hours, I was a pro at the thing, I would have to say that this camera was definatly an A+ investment

Summary: You will love it !
Review: This is a very good camera for its price range and features including true 3X optical zoom lens which retracts very neatly when you shut the camera off. The two step camera shut off (which amazom review sees as a weak point) is actually very useful for viewing pics and keeps the lens shut. So you can see pics in bad weather without worring about your lens. The digital zoom doesn't work with the 2 megapixel resolution, it only works with 1 megapixel or VGA mode. However the digital zoom could be done later on the computer also, so no big problems. The battery charger included is supposed to recharge a fully discharged battery in 5 hrs. The manual refer to any fuji charger for times under 2 hrs. The kit includes excellent accessories: 2 AA 1700mAh NiMH rechargable batteries, recharger (works from 110-240 V), 16MB smartmedia card with cover/label, a hand strap (handy when shooting or otherwise, increases the grip), a USB cable for getting pics on your PC, a CD with software including the finepix viewer, owner's manual and a software manual. Never even needed to go through the software manual while installing the softwares on a Windows 2000 machine. The software to transfer images looks good. The software CD includes 3/4 other softwares which I haven't used till now. One is the movie player for recorded movies (the .avi movies don't play on windows media player). The manuals are easy to read and understand. There's no TV output like Canon Elph and other expensive ones. The movies recorded are not so great but then this isn't a camcorder ! Other features include a low battery warning, date/time setting, image size/compression ratio setting, flash mode/white balance settings, camera shake warning and macro setting. The flash setting does come to a good use at many times. One downfall is that the max 1/2 sec shutter time means that night pictures on streets are not good. In case you want to do lots of night photography, nikon coolpix 775 or canon digital elph s110 or s300 are better options. But remember that others come with proprietary batteries which may become unavailable or cost a lot. The other disadvantage in my opinion is the smartmedia card, since most things are swichting over to compact flash. However the fuji rebate solves this problem for now ! As far as the design goes it very good. Yoiu might feel that the camera is slightly thicker given its width/height. The battery/smartmedia card both go in the same compartment and the door to it looks sligthly cheap. The playback mode for movies/pics is very good. You can zoom in and out of pics and erase one/all pics. The software menu on the camera seems pretty good and intelligent. Another recommendation is to buy a big smartemedia card (max that can be used is 128MB). This will make your camera more useful. Finally the manual claims 150-300 frames with one pair of fully charged batteries depending on LCD usage. In case rechartgable batteries run out, you can use normal AA ones. Carrying one or two more pairs of batteries will be great and solves the problem of LCD eating the batteries (you can't do this with camera's that have proprietary ones). After all NiMH AA batteries are so inexpensive ! A Fuji kit for 2600 is also available which includes a cmaera case, lens cleaning kit, tripod, 4 NiMH batteries and one more recharger.

Summary: There's even a rebate available on this from fuji !
Review: I don't why there's no talk of rebate on this website but there's a rebate from fuji available for this if you buy the smartmedia card & this camera together from the same place & at same time.
Great quality of pictures and the best part is the rechargable AA batteries (only 2 not 4 !). AA batteries means u save a lot on batteries and don't have to pay the manufacturer for proprietary batteries. Only the camera is out of production and a better battery technology comes in, the properitary old batteries can be very difficult and costly to find... like carrying a PC with no power supply :)
The only bad part is that its slightly thick in size and takes only 128 MB cards at the max. It won't read a bigger card once they become available. But 128MB must be enough for most cases ! Or heck buy 2 of them !!
Also the low light pictures are not so great. Look for nikon 775 in case u want good night pictures as well. And it has no TV out.
The image quality is excellent and the CCD it uses is great. The product was released only in Sept 2001 so most of its technology is new.
Look for MSN holiday shopping reward on 800 dot com and also a gift check back from 800. these all deals plus excellent picture quality make it a great camera for this holiday season.
(there's a 128MB smartmedia card available from buy dot com for only 40).

Summary: Fuji Finepix 2600-----A Real Winner
Review: I bought one a few days ago, was very easy to get it going, manual was pretty good, once you get used to navigating around the menus its very easy and well thought out.
What I was really impressed with how neat looking it was, and having been around photography for a while and having owned some Fuji Point and Shoot cameras I knew it had to be good, Fuji always makes Point and shoots that are not expensive and work just beautifully.
The 2600 is quick handling, focuses outside quickly and a bit slower indoors, the resulting photos were fabulous, razor sharp, no banding and very good color renditions, I like shooting flowers, I usually find that deep red roses turn pink, with the Fuji, what you see is what you get, in my opinion it is impossible to beat this camera, it even ships with a 16 meg smart media card, so on max resolution you can get 20 shots, aint great but beats an 8 meg card, decrease the resolution and number of shots increase dramatically, regardless, I just ordered a 32 meg card, battery life with included 1750 mah batteries and charger is quite good.
If you want a digital camera, go shopping and look at the 2600, I love it.
