Summary: Excellent Quality, Good Value for Money, Simple to Operate
Review: I wasn't happy with results of Sony and HP digital cameras that my friends had. So, I was skeptical about purchasing a digital Camera.
That's why I decided to purchase a camera from a company which is known for photography. I am very happy with this product. Good Points :
* Excellent quality of photos.
* Very simple to operate.
* Auto mode takes very good photos.
* Great photos even when there is less light.
* LCD Display makes it very easy to compose a photo and you can't go wrong.
* 3x Optical zoom really makes difference.
* Software interface with PC is very simple. What I didn't like :
* Drains batteries. But I guess that's true with all digital cameras. Further Recommendations :
* Purchase an extra 128 MB Memory card and a pair of rechargable NiMH batteries (1700 mAh) and you are all set.

Summary: Great Camera - easy, fun, FABULOUS prints!
Review: I did a fair amount of research prior to deciding on the Fuji FinePix 2600. Other top contenders were the Canon Powershot A40 and the Sony DSC-P51. I used these reviews to make my decision, so I figured I'd offer my opinion as well. My primary use for a camera is for family photos, vacation shots, etc. I wanted a camera that was mostly automatic with some minor manual controls. The camera had to be very user friendly. And lastly, I wanted a digital camera that was pretty much going to replace my 35 mm camera...I wanted a camera that would produce 4x6 and 5x7 prints with quality as good as (or better than) my existing 35 mm camera. After using this camera A LOT in the past week, I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with the camera and the 4x6 prints are REMARKABLE. The prints are very crisp with excellent color, both indoor and out. The prints do not look grainy at all like you might expect from a digital camera. I used the highest resolution setting for the photos and had them printed at a local camera shop lab(Cord Camera). I did not work in unique lighting situations, but for fairly normal lighting, the photos were great. The software was easy to load (Win 98), but it's more of a photo management rather than a photo editing software. You can dump and save your photos, crop photos, or change the resolution, but the software does not allow you to do black & white, change contract, or other editing features. Movie mode is cool, although no sound. However, the .AVI files are saved as Windows Media Player files but the loaded media player that is installed with the software would not play them. I had to watch the movies in the FinePix software or load them into Quicktime which was a bit of a pain. I think in order for me to get the Windows Media Player to play the files, I'd have to download a file off the internet. It would be free but would take forever with my slow dial-up connection...not worth it for me. I didn't buy this camera for the movie mode, so this slightly annoying way of viewing the movie files wasn't worth me worrying about too much. The camera is very easy to learn to use. A few possible negatives that I can report is the fact that the camera actually takes the photograph a fraction of a second after you push down the button (which is a bit frustrating when photographing a 3 year old that won't sit still!) and the fact that the LCD screen is tough to see in bright sunlight or dark conditions. But I think these two factors are issues with most (or all?) digital cameras rather than just this specific FinePix 2600. Things that helped me make my decision over the Canon A40 and the Sony P51:
1. Takes 2 batteries whereas the Canon takes 4.
2. Batteries are rechargeable and a charger is included whereas the Canon and Sony don't include rechargeables/charger.
3. Came with a 16 MB memory card whereas the Canon came with an 8 MB card. I realize that the above items are minor but they are important considerations when it comes down to upfront cost of the camera and supplies. If the Fuji FinePix had not produced such AWESOME quality photo prints, I probably would have returned it and tried the Sony or tried a 3 MP camera. But after my first development order and a few days of playing around with the camera, I was totally hooked on the Fuji. I truly love this camera and would recommend it to anyone. This camera may motivate me to become more of a camera hobbiest rather than just a casual camera user.

Summary: Best Value for the Money
Review: After a lot of research and trying several other models I decided to buy this camera. I did not find anything in the price range with as many features. Everything you need to get started is included. I use it for a general purpose snapshot camera and have been extremely pleased with the results.

Summary: Good Deal
Review: Hi, Folks I would like to recommend to purchase the Fuji FinePix 2600 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom by Fujifilm product. The price is reasonable for the consumer to choose, also the product is updated to the model and the market. The most important is the good image with the Fujifilm product for the excellent picture to the users. Lastly I highly suggest to the users that the most important thing is take notice of the light when you are taking the pictures. Otherwise is effect is not good for the pictures.

Summary: Great Pal For My iMac
Review: Need I say more?
I got this camera and was up and running in a couple minutes...and I have absolutely NO experience with digital cameras whatsoever. I just plugged it into my iMac WITHOUT THE USE OF ANY INSTALLATION CDs. It instantly recognised and sucked the shots in. It has a nice display...and talk about the price...It's the greatest bang for the buck with this digicam. I'm happy about it and wish I'd gotten it earlier...
Image quality is almost professional, or at least it's pro enough for me. It's easy to learn the features and you can master most in about an hour of fooling around with it...Strangely though, my batteries are still up.(Knocks board)
Anyway, I've got more to do than write this review...Am goin' snappin' with my new Fuji FinePix 2600. I give it a full 5 out of 5 stars.

Summary: Nice little camera!
Review: This Fuji Finepix camera is very good, especially for beginners who want a simple, "goof-proof" digital camera. I've had the camera for about 3 weeks now, and the pictures have come out sharp, with excellent color and detail. The flash is remarkably good for such a small and inexpensive camera. The 3x optical zoom works well, and the autofocus is a step up from some of the "focus-free" models. The LCD screen is bright and clear, and the 20-second movie clip mode is a fun feature. Overall a good camera and a great value - it even comes with rechargeable batteries, a charger, a 16MB smartmedia card, and a USB cable! These are things that can cost extra with other models. About the only thing it doesn't come with is a carrying case... I use the Lowepro Z20 pouch and it fits the camera nicely (and it's only [$$$] bucks on Amazon). The only negatives I've found? First, the viewfinder is positioned right on top of the LCD screen, resulting in a lot of nose-print smudges on the screen. Secondly, this camera is geared more towards people who want true "point and shoot" photography - it gives you very little manual control over settings such as aperture, shutter speed, etc. If you're looking for more control, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. However, if you want an excellent camera that consistently takes good pictures, this Fuji is a great buy.

Summary: My 1st digital camera
Review: I purchased my FujiFilm FinePix 2600Z... I had no idea on its performance and never read any reviews on it... while waiting for its arrival from USA, I scoured the web for its reviews. AND I THINK THERE IS SOMEONE ABOVE GUIDING ME for when i got the chance to "play" with it, THE REVIEWS ARE VERY MUCH CORRECT! For its price and performance, it beats a lot of similar digicams... if your budget is within US$300, never hesitate to consider this camera and put it top on your candidates for your purchase... the only complain i have for this, though, is its low performance in dark environments (evening shots, dimly lit places, etc)... but is very superb in well-lighted environment... also, consider adding a pair of 1700mAh NiMh batteries and a 64MB SmartMedia Card (82 785kb-JPEG shots at its highest resolution). 4 stars only because its performance is below par at evening shots....

Summary: Great Camera
Review: This is a great camera. I spent a bit of time researching for a digital camera and decided on the Fuji 2600 due to features and price. I like the option of capturing 2-mil or 1-mil pixels plus the fine, normal, and basic settings. I did upgrade to the 128 meg smart card which allows up to 389 pictures at the 1-mil normal setting and 166 pictures at the 2-mil fine setting. After testing each capture setting on the same picture, I can notice a difference if you zoom in to 500% on the monitor screen, but printing the pictures side by side at 3x5, you can hardly tell the difference. This camera (along with all digitals from what I understand) does eat batteries if you use the display on the back alot. The enclosed rechargeable batteries were a big selling point for me. I do plan on purchasing the plug-in adapter to preserve battery life while downloading to my computer. Included software is fairly good and easy to use. No problems at all on XP professional. After one week and 100's of pictures, I do love this camera.

Summary: Fuji FP2600 is so easy to use.
Review: In a word--easy. Even a techophobe can handle this camera. I am very pleased with the quality of the pictures. It stores pictures quickly, which is a big plus. It allowed me to catch some great firework shots! Have had many compliments on the photos already. The USB connection is ultra fast and worked with my XP operating system just fine. I don't need one of those SmartReaders, as suggested by some reviewers--it took very little time to transfer the files to my computer. So try it on your PC/Mac before you buy one, so you don't make the purchase if you don't need it. The whole camera to PC process is very self-sufficient, does the work for you--you just have to plug it in and turn it on and press auto-save. Piece of cake. Two small drawbacks--no case is included (note: no AC either, but it comes with batteries and a charger) and also I had to mess with the brightness of a few indoor shots. But no big deal. Also, for doing movie clips, I don't think you can choose to keep the flash on constant. So make sure what you are "filming" is well lit. Overall, I give this item an enthusiastic recommendation.
