Summary: Terrific camera, great value
Review: If you want a great camera, amazing zoom, enough resolution and [inexpensive] memory - nothing can beat this camera.
Extremely simple to use, with very powerful features, it produces excellent images and consumes very little battery power - especially if you use NiMH batteries. It even works on Linux without a hitch. Can you ask for more?
Yes. It does not have manual high speed shutter controls. Bummer, but I can certainly live with it. This device rocks!

Summary: Fantastic
Review: I had been researching digital cameras in the under [price] range for over 6 months. I wanted something with awesome resolution and something that catches color realistically. I finally found it in this little beauty. It defiantly had the "most bang for your buck".
I am so thrilled with the Fuji FinePix 2008Z and after having a lesser dig. camera several years ago, the technology has certainly improved by leaps and bounds. I am happy with my second digital camera. The range, versatility, ease of operation & dynamic colors can't be beat. I can't put it down! Plus the software that accompanies it is easy and helpful.
The only thing you need to look out for is lighting while using its nifty digital camera feature. Make sure you can get as much light on as possible while filming indoors or the 60 sec film looks terribly dark & bleak.
Other than that, the size is wonderful, (it fits very comfortably in hand); the sexy silver body is so darned cute I leave it out near my computer so I can look at it all the time! Don't worry about not liking this camera; I don't think it's possible.

Summary: Highly recommend!!!
Review: This is a GREAT camera. The comments about the dark viewfinder are true - it is very hard to see in low light. The image is being viewed thru the lens, not thru a clear glass like non-electronic viewfinders. Otherwise, the camera is exceptional. Most all the controls are automatic, but this setting takes perfect pictures in all light situations. FINALLY - a digital camera with a healthy zoom!!!

Summary: Great Entry Level Family Digital Camera
Review: I did not have alot of knowledge about Digital Cameras but knew that it was time to try one. After reading many reviews, I decided to go with this one based zoom capabilities, personal recommendations and of course, price (which was about $50 more when I bought it 6 months ago!) I had been using a nice little 35mm point and shoot and was afraid I would sacrifice the zoom and clarity. I have been very turned off by the grainy resolution of digital photos that my friends get from their digital cameras so I was PLEASANTLY surprised to see that I get NONE of that. Especially when using my zoom lens - which limits how much cropping I would do. The only negative thing I can say about this camera is that taking pictures in dark or very dim lighting is difficult because of the EVF which is not a lens that you can view through. The pictures still come out okay, but you have to see them after taking the picture. The size and shape of the camera took some getting used to but I absolutely love it now.... Also, I have found that it is more cost effective to take my smartmedia out to print my photos or upload them to an online photo center. You would never know that the 4x6 prints are from a digital camera, and that's what I wanted.
I do reccommend a 64mb smartmedia or larger (2 64s would be ideal!) Video takes up alot of space. NIMH rechargeables are a must.

Summary: Excelent Camera
Review: I take pictures with this camera for my personal use and for my website and works great! The color and resolution in the photos are excelent. The 6X Optical Zoom made the photos clear and brilliant and the movie feature it's ok for a digital camera. I use a lot the feature bonus (Webcam) to videoconference and is a great plus. This camera worth the price.

Summary: Great Camera for the price
Review: Just received my camera and could not wait to start taking pictures. Nicely packaged and easy to get out of the box. Once out of the box it was easy and quick to learn how to use my new Fuji. I started with some inside photos and then some outside photos, and I could not beleive the quality of the pictures. When I transfered them to my CPU I was quickly emailing photos to family and friends of all the snow. The zoom brought some birds eating in the snow way closer than my old Cannon ever could. Even though that is and always will be a great camera. I recommend the 64 MB smart card even though I never exceeded the 16 MB capacity. I cannot wait to take the camera to a sports event and get some great pictures. Way to Go FUJI, great camera for the money.

Summary: Great option for the novice
Review: Purchased this camera after weeks of searching for the best deal. The general consensus is that the camera performs poorly in low-light situations which is true however my experience leads me to believe that it's the type of light that the camera is picking up. Regular incandescent bulbs are for somereason hard for the camera to pick up while the same low light in a flourescent bulb is picked up very well. I began using the camera immediately upon arrival without so much as opening the instruction manual. Camera receives 5 stars for ease of use. The pictures are superb, clear, clean and vibrant. Batteries do run down very quickly so I do recommend purchasing rechargeable which can be done very inexpensively. The options found on this model including the 6x optical zoom are a great bargain. Other than low light performance you will not be dissatisfied with your purchase.

Summary: A Big Mistake
Review: After doing a lot of research on the Net, I thought; "ok the lighting is not good and the display is dark, but a lot of people really liked the camera", plus Radio Shack has them on sale this week .... Well I should have taken these reviews more seriously. I bought the Fuji 2800 camera to replace my old trusted Kodak 240 digital camera. I wanted better zoom and a newer camera with the cool new features. What I got was a camera that did not take low light pictures very well at all and many of my pictures were out of focus. You might say, well I can live with the low light, I COULD NOT! I need a camera that produces quality pictures regardless of light. And my pictures were fuzzy. NOT good Fuji! Did you rush this one out the door or what. After calling Fuji's Customer service they told me that I had a defective product and to return it.(Being in denial I thought, maybe I was doing something wrong, because this camera had the zoom I really wanted.) I did not really want to look at another Fuji after that dissappointing ordeal. ...

Summary: Great Little Camera
Review: This camera takes excellent photos in all quality (image size) settings. Downloads are easy and the program offers a slide presentation which is useful when viewed by a large group. My only complaint is that this little unit is power hungry. Alkalines and rechargeable last about the same amount of time allowing 30 - 50 shots depending on shooting mode (flash vs. no flash).

Summary: An Inside Disappointment
Review: I was so excited when I first got this camera in the mail. I was impressed with how simple it was to use and the amenities it offered. And then I tried to use it inside. Under normal lighting conditions. That's when my excitement turned to disappointment. The electronic viewfinder and the LCD came out very dark, almost to the point that you couldn't see what it was you were taking a picture of. No matter how much light I added, it wasn't enough. Oddly, it did not suffer under flourescent light (I found out when I went to the store to see if it was just my camera or what). Since I bought a digital camera to use primarily for snapshot purposes, I needed it to be suitable in snapshot conditions. To its credit, the pictures turned out fine with the flash and even with a little longer exposure, but not being able to see clearly what I was shooting in the beginning was very frustrating. The electronic viewfinder doesn't leave you with any way to get around the darkness, as a glass viewfinder would. The problem with the dark scenes was too much for me. I returned this camera and opted for one with a glass viewfinder to be safe! Aside from this problem, I would have loved this camera, but it was too big a problem to ignore or work around for me.
