Summary: Fabulous Camera
Review: I've had this camera for over a month now and I love it. I tried many digital cameras but decided on this marvel. Its loaded with features, has a quailty build, feels good in the hand and best of all it takes beautiful pictures. It's also one of the fastest on the market at this time (no shutter lag) You just can't go wrong with this purchase. Enjoy!

Summary: Good price for SLR functions
Review: I've owned this camera for a few months now, probably the best I've ever had. If you want SLR functions but don't want to spend a lot, this is the one.
What I like:
1. Powerful optical zoom at 6X
2. Good resolution up to 2400x1800
3. Short lag time between shots
4. Switching between shoot and play mode is fast
5. Selectable ISO from 125 to 800

Improvment I'd like to see in the future model:
1. I prefer optical view finder over the electronic one; it's hard to see if subject is in focus when using manual focus, especially under sunlight
2. Better manual focus feel; the electronic focus steps just doesn't feel like an analog one, you know what I mean if you are familiar with regular SLR cameras
3. Faster recharge time; the included charger needs 5+ hours, I decided to buy a generic quick charger + battery
4. No B function for long exposure

If you are taking photography class, this is a good and affordable camera to own. You can practice a lot without wasting rolls of film.
Fuji's newer model in this class is S602, it has higher res, movie mode with sound, longer exposure to 15 sec. Price is still better than its competition, should be worth considering.

Summary: The best camera ever!
Review: If you are tired of all those expensive cameras that are just 'duds', your solution is here. The Fuji FinePix 4900 Digital Camera is truly one of the best cameras I've ever worked with. All the high-tech features make this a camera you can't resist. For this relatively low price you can't find a better value. So if you're a person who loves to have the upmost in quality, BUY THIS CAMERA!

Summary: great camera.., no sound however
Review: It is comfortable and easy to grip. The pictures are outstanding. It adjusted well to poor indoor lighting conditions. The movie format produces great pictures as well. I have friends with 2.1Mpixel cameras and the movies are not as good a quality. The only downfall is that the camera doesn't have any sound features.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best All Around High Quality Digital Camera
Review: My partner and I both purchased this camera. It actually produces better resolution (2,400 x 1,800 pixels) than 5.4 MB cameras that cost twice as much. In addition, it has an auto mode that enables my wife to take picutures without the complications of adjusting an SLR. Other features that I like: Electronic View Finder, Auto/Man Focus, Auto/Man/Custom White Balance, Continuous Shooting, 6x optical with 3.75 digital zoom. The resolution is so good, that you can zoom in on the individual pores of a persons face. As a result, it is excellent for medical imaging and I have used it in the operating room with outstanding results. The only thing is that you need either a photo printer or a color laser printer with high resolution to fully appreciate the high quality of these images.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great camera. High quality
Review: The 6X zoom is powerful and the picture quality is superb. I like all the features too. It goes from fully automatic to fully manual for a professional. It allows an external flash. The only drawback which is true of all digital cameras is they take a lot of energy to run. The battery lasts about an hour give or take. But that is the same for all digital cameras.

I hope the wide angle attachment is available soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding Image Quality
Review: The image quality produced by this camera is spectacular. However, I think Fuji has some scope for improvement in terms of the user interface. I find setting the time and selecting the image quality to be a bit tedious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It is really good
Review: The things I don't like are:
1> zooming range is not enough
2> not good for close shoots (< 1.5m)
3> slow focus in auto mode
4> short battary life (in LCD mode)
5> when you push 'shoot' button, you never make sure it is on focus only or already take a pic.

All others are more than good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Camera - no sound
Review: This camera has a very appealing body design. It is comfortable and easy to grip. The pictures are outstanding. It adjusted well to poor indoor lighting conditions. The movie format produces great pictures as well. I have friends with 2.1Mpixel cameras and the movies are not as good a quality. The only downfall is that the camera doesn't have any sound features. This is disappointing when using the movie mode.
