Summary: This is a great camera
Review: I've had this camera for two months and I love it. It takes beautiful pictures. I've had no problems with it all. For those who are getting "fuzzy" indoor pictures, I can offer three explanations (all of which have happened to me):

1) If you forget to pop open the flash before taking the picture, you'll get a picture with good exposure that may even look okay on the LCD screen. But when you load it onto your computer, it's obviously out of focus. This is the result of not being able to hold the camera steady for the relatively long exposure time required when not using a flash. This problem is not unique to this camera nor to digital cameras in general. In fact, if you use a tripod, this camera will take gorgeous indoor pictures without a flash.

2) As instructed in the manual, you should push the shutter release down halfway (and hold it there) to allow the camera the focus. Frame your picture, and then push down all the way. If you don't do this, it's possible to get pictures out of focus.

3) In very low light conditions, the camera's auto-focus mechanism may not have enough light to focus. There is an indicator in the viewfinder to let you know when this happens. However, this is generally not a problem with normal room lighting. (Note that all auto-focus cameras have this limitation in varying degrees.)

Summary: A Great Camera
Review: What an incredibly great camera. I researched for about two months and decided on the FUJI Finepix.... easy to use but the quality of pictures is astonishing. Battery life seems very adequate to me and I am also using a 32M chip and haven't had any storage problems as I will usually just transfer the pictures to my PC immediately after each outing.

I can't believe I waited this long to join the digital camera craze. Waiting for your pictures to be developed.... unsure of how many will even come out the way you hoped. Now you simply run the cable to your computer... view the pictures and crop them to exactly the shot you were after. Set it on high quality for professional looking pictures or use the good quality to email snapshots to friends and family.

If you are in the market for a digital camera, BUY THIS ONE.... you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Super Sharp Photos
Review: I have owned this camera for 3 weeks and feel it is the best value in its class. The Photos Are Super Sharp and of the highest quality. Colors are great and the 6X zoom is a fun to use. I give ths 3800 Fuji a 5 Star + rating and Fuji outdid itself with this camera.

Summary: Worth waiting for...
Review: I tried this camera out for 2 weeks and was very pleased with the results. Clear menus make manual settings easy. Veiw finder is sharp -- I hardly used the LCD screen, which is very clear -- downloaded images in a snap. I applied a PDA screen protector to the LCD screen because I knew that I would be returning it. Why? The price for this camera is dropping every week and makes this camera worth waiting for. I suspect that Fuji will be improving this camera (manual focus would be a good start) as they did with the FinePix 2800; consider the 3800 a "beta" version. Look around for yourself (cnet and pricescan dot-coms) and price compare. Bottom-line: great and worth waiting for, but this beast is evolving.

Summary: Horrible choice
Review: I just got this camera and It isnt what I expected it to be. The weird shape makes it hard to grip and if you aren't using the flash youre pictures get fuzzy. The worst part about this camera is the software. It takes up a chunk of your hard drive but bassically only crops your photos. I suggest getting Adobe Photoshop for digital cameras, you can download it off of Kazaa. The memory card is cool but it only comes with a 16 MB card which only stores about 8 photos. This camera EATS batteries for breakfast, I had to get rechargables. After all of the accessories you need to buy are added on to the total price it comes out to around $ dolars. Get a canon or olympus, they're much better quality

Summary: This camera is UNBELIEVABLE!
Review: My husband and I just purchased this camera after reading all the reviews from above. I have always wanted to learn how to use a manual camera but am too impatient to wait for film to be developed. This camera is very simple to use and the instruction book is very easy to read with over 100 pages all in English. After learning about all the features on the camera, my husband and I were ready to play. We took our camera with us to an outside market place to take pictures. The LCD helps view your pics but we were incredibly suprised when we got home and transferred our pictures from our camera to the computer. The colors and clarity are unbelievable! You can read signs clearly that are at least 20 feet away in the shot. Our pictures almost have that professional quality look to them. We also took pictures inside in very low light, and they came out perfect. My husband also took some pictures of animals through a glass screen door and you can't tell there was a screen door there. The pictures look as if we were standing outside. I recommend this camera to anyone wanting to switch from a regular camera to digital. Although we don't have a great printer to print the pictures, I was told ... that I could save my photos onto a CD and take them there to be printed on photo paper. The FUJU 3800 is worth every dollar!

Summary: Fujii 3800------A wonderul camera.
Review: I bought the camera a few weeks ago, went to Fuji because usually whatever they make is not overpriced and works really well, the3800 is no exception, photo output is ecellent, although is doesnt look it in grainy viewfinder, works easily, menus are not difficult to navigate, Battery life, mine came with four alkalines, they were Panasonic, Alkalines for digital, I have been fooling with it now for days, must have fooled with it with what you could equate to hundreds of exposures, they still work, took some NiMh, charged them, I have not idea how many exposures I took with them, its enormous, have been shooting pictures all week long, they,re still going.
Love this camera,love the look too, it uses the little XD cards, a bit expensive now, but, they download to the buffer in a flash, even at top resolution, I think the long battery life and quick load to the buffer is due to this new XD card.
My only negative is, unless you spend a fortune on a digital camera, they all get balky in focusing in dim light, the Fuji does too, but not as much as the pack, even if it tells you it may not focus right, shoot the pictures, will probably come out just fine, a really great camera, cannot praise it enough

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best camera ever
Review: I just got this camera and it is awsome! The 6x optical zoom is great and it also has 5 different modes. The pictures turn out just as good as my old film camera. It is very simple to use and it is a good energy conserver. If your looking for a good quality digital camera with a good zoom and great quality get this one. Plus it has a movie mode! Get this....Trust ME!

Summary: I love this camera!
Review: Just got this camera as a birthday gift and I am thorougly enjoying it. I was hesitant to switch over to a digital camera, but now I know I made a great choice. The camera is so small, but produces excellent quality pictures. It is very easy to use and includes some nice photograhy features. I got the 64MB xD card which holds 50 top quality or 107 really good quality pictures on it. The sound movie feature is fun too. I have had no battery issues yet, although I plan to get some rechargeables. This camera has some power saving features, so I don't think it is as much of a "pig" on the batteries. I will probably invest in the xD card reader as well. In low light the viewer is not the greatest, but the camera still delivers a beautiful night shot and you can make out what you are photographing, no problem. I was between the 2800 and the 3800. I am glad I went for the 3800 for the 3.2 megapixels.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: Received the camera early this month and loved it from the first time I took it out of the box to use.It is simple to use and the pictures are great. Just like with any camera whether digital or not there are some pictures that just don't turn out right so you just delete them and try again. I would recomend this to anyone.
