Review: I just got this camera and absolutely love it. It's lite weight, compact and easy to use. It does everything but wash the dishes.

Summary: What camera are the other reviewers using?
Review: My experiences with the Finepix 3800 are doubleplus ungood.The biggest problem is that it refuses to focus unless there is plenty of light. Either you use the flash or you have broad daylight. Anything less and the camera refuses to focus. The shutter speed is slow. The Sony digital I have used has a quick and responsive shutter. This thing takes the picture at least a second or two after you press the button. You also have to wait a couple of seconds before you can take another. If you want to take a picture quickly or something not posed and the target is holding absolutly still, then this is not the camera for you. Since the shutter speed is so low, you have to hold it absolutly still. If not, you will get blurry pictures. (Even more so in low light.) If you are taking pictures outdoors with subjects that don't move, then this is the camera for you. Otherwise look at something else.

Summary: The Best Digital Camera Around!
Review: I bought the FinePix 3800 in May 2003, and after having used it for three months, I can safely say that this is one of the very best digital cameras around, in any price range. The pictures come out to be really good in all kinds of light conditions, the zoom works great, the flash allows you to take pics even in pitch darkness. If you are an amateur photographer looking to buy your first digital camera then the FinePix 3800 is perfect for you. Happy snapping! :)

Summary: You tried the rest, Now get the best!
Review: Even if you haven't tried any other digital cameras, Believe me this is the ONE! After a lot of Digital Camera's research, I've found the Fuji Finepix 3800 to go beyond the performance expected for a digital camera. Great picture quality that would leave you in awe! Easy to use point and shoot capabilites,with results that would make others think that you were a professional, The camera is very light and beautifully designed, Everybody that has seen the results of my pictures, can't believe that this camera produced such amazing photos. I take this camera everywhere, The LCD screen helps me make easy decisions for photos I decide to keep and those I don't, and when I want to get in on a picture and no one wants to touch the camera (for fear they would break it)just set the automatic timer and PRESTO. Although I wouldn't recommend trying to view your subject in night or low-lighted areas, this is by far the only flaw I've witnessed with this camera. (the pictures come out great, you just can't see the subject in the LCD or viewfinder before you take the picture). The battery life on the rechargeables are great, I get about 275 pictures before I have to recharge.

Summary: Quality,economy packed in one camera
Review: I received this camera from Fuji as a "Complinebtary Upgrade" 6 months ago. The Fuji 2600 I bought earlier broke in 3 weeks and the one Fuji replaced it with -guess what??? broke again in a week.
Anyways, I just love this camera. The 6 optical zoom and 3.2 MP
is matchless with the price tag it carries. Plus the pictures turn out as sharp as any other 3.2 camera's.
But...
It seems to me that for some lighting conditions the auto function has problems focusing on objects indoors. Even though you use the "focus-click" (that is pressing the button halfway while pointing at the object to secure it is the center of focus)
pictures sometimes turn out blurry.
One other inconvenience is that the camera is cumbersome. Forget about putting it in your pocket and going hiking. You need to have a not so small size carrying case.
Still it is an unbeatable deal.

Summary: excellent point and shoot camera
Review: It takes pictures with beautiful color. Not a tiny camera, but light and easy to carry and use. The main selling point for me was the 6x optical zoom. For any one with an SLR, 3x just won't be enough. This camera also has very little chromatic aboration, a problem with a lot of other digital cameras. .... I also recommend; a larger xD card - the 16mb that it comes with won't hold many pictures rechargeable batteries - alkaline batteries don't last long a tripod - its easy to get blurry pictures because of camera shake at 6x zoom (this will happen with all zoom cameras) If you can afford more than this, look at the Olympus C740 and C750. More pixels and a great 10x Optical zoom on both. If you want a party camera that you can hide in a pocket, look at 3x zoom or less.

Summary: Love this Camera
Review: I have been taking digital pictures for a couple of years and with my daughters wedding coming up I really wanted a camera that had a zoom lens. I purchased my camera about 2 weeks before the wedding and took a few pictures just to make sure that I knew what I was doing. I knew all the pros and cons before I purchased this camera. This camera does a wonderful job. The pictures are clear. Out of 139 pictures that I took at the wedding, I only deleted 3 and those were my error not the cameras. You will not go wrong with this camera. Downloading is automatic when you connect the camera to the computer. I could not ask for anything more. This camera is wonderful. Yes low light is a problem, but I was able to get the the bouquet being caught even though I couldn't see much through the viewfinder. I just aimed at the area and the picture came out great. I did purchase the 256 memory card. The 16 just won't hold enough. You will not be disappointed. Just do your homework and know what problems you can encounter. Enjoy!

Summary: Superior pictures, easy usage, poor support
Review: For the first month I was quite satisfied with the photos this camera produced. Then, inexplicably, it started producing files whose prints were underexposed. I send an xD card to Fuji (which said it was fine), I replaced the camera, but with no improvement. My inference is that the in-store equipment is calibrated improperly, but that's only a guess. It is the same at all stores having the Fuji Alladin kiosk in the area. I can see it, my wife can see it, even the one-hour shops can see the problem, but nothing can be done.

Summary: TIPS
Review: My first of hopefully many digital cameras, I knew the faults before buying so I wasn't disappointed by my camera at all. Quite the contrary! One of the deciding factors for me (other than the zoom lens and the fact that the photo quality exceeded the Olympus C series which was the only zoom camera under a grand Canadian) was the promotional deals that Fujifilm has. I got a free 32 MB card from Fujifilm Canada and if I had decided to purchase the accessories set I would have saved a hefty bundle. Check out the Fuji website for any current coupons or refunds. Don't bother to get a brand-name battery charger, go to Radioshack or Futureshop, but get the special photography rechargeble batteries from your photo store, they will usually have a larger mA capacity. Buy a specialty photo printer, not a one-in-everything! I have the Epson C82, but I am not thrilled with it. 6 colour cartridges is much better than 4, and dpi doesn't guarantee quality, as I found out! The Fuji FinePix software for uploading your photos is practically useless for touchups - you'll probably want the Adobe Photoshop Elements package or something similar. The camera and accessories was a large initial purchase, especially on a student budget, but other than than the upkeep price of more paper and ink (I haven't yet run out!) the biggest cost is the picture frames I have to keep buying to frame all of my gorgeous shots!

Summary: Digital Made Simple
Review: Ever wonder how to take great (and I do mean great) pictures without all the hassels? It's simple with Fujifilm's 3800 Digital Camera. This camera is packed with the latest features that make it easy for the novice and gives full control for those who like to control lighting, depth of field and exposure. However, if you're like me, just set the control to "auto" and get ready to take some amazing pictures. So if you're a pro or an armchair photographer, the 3800 is a solid buy.
