Summary: great camera
Review: Ever tried using an Olympus digital camera and wished it were a little easier to navigate the menu's? Fuji digital cameras are the answer!

I've tried Olympus' digital cameras before and must say the people who designed the menus and buttons were not thinking of the average camera user when designing it.

This little A310 camera is nice. It has an automatic sliding cover that covers the lens when the camera is turned off.

The pictures it takes are great, as long as you are in Fine (3MP) mode. 1 and 2 MP modes are good too, but noticeably less than the 3MP. Macro mode works excellent. Colors are good.

To compare it to an older Fuji Finepix 2400 camera- the 2400 would show mysterious white circles in the photos when taking pictures under low-battery conditions. With the A310, I can take pictures until the batteries are on their last legs.

The only real beef I have with this camera is that its movie mode does not allow sound via any type of built-in microphone. You're stuck with silent movies. This isn't a big deal me however, since I'm not into videotaping..

Summary: Great camera, lightweight, and very easy to use!

Summary: Not Happy
Review: I am a long time Fuji fan, starting with a 35mm film camera. My next camera was a FinePix 2300, which served me well and with which I have taken over 11,000 photos. Looking for something a little better, I next purchased an A310. This camera has never given me the sharp and clear pictures that I get with the 2300, and I have never been happy with the camera. I love the little xD picture cards and I really like the cradle, but I sure do not like the camera. At the present time the A310 is retired and I am using the 2300.

Summary: From OK to DOA
Review: I got this camera 6 months ago as an "upgrade" to my previous Fuji. I was happy with it for the first months but over the last month the quality of the images got horrible (to say the least). Now I can't take pictures at night or with low light. I will stand 3-4 feet away from the target and the picture won't come out right. I don't think it has to do with the flash, since some pictures taken at daytime are coming out washed out, too. I've also noticed some red lines in some of the images. What else can I tell you? I'm writing this review while I'm researching for a new camera.

Summary: This Is A Great Camera!
Review: I got this camera a couple of days ago and it is the best camrera I've ever had. It is easy to find what you want. It makes very nice colourful pictures. The A310 is a great camera so I would really recomend it and it has a very good price for what your getting

Summary: Fujifilm FinePix A310 Great Camera -> Great Price
Review: I had a Sony Mavica and decided to go to a smaller camera without sacrifing quality. Well I could not be more happier with the FinePix A310. It takes the best pictures I have ever seen for a 3.1MP digital camera. The 6.0MP option actually works well and gives you the ability to print huge pictures without pixelation. I have seen some reviews about bad pictures with image noise. The only time I saw this is when I had the flash off in a dim lit room, but that would happen with any camera. The only flaw I could find with this camera was the LCD screen is not protected in anyway by a protective border. Other than that it is a top quality camera for a great price. If you are looking for a great digital camera for under $400, then the A310 is for you!

Summary: Great product for the money
Review: I have had my Fujifilm a310 for 3 weeks and I am amazed with it's performance. I was considering getting the Canon elph s100, however after reading the article in Consumer reports I was convinced that the a303 was what I was looking for. The a310 is newer than the a303. I am a college student who does not have the money to spend n a pricey 4 or 5 megapxel camera, but needed an upgrade from my 1.3 MP olympus.
My two key elements of criteria for purchasing my new camera was battery life and shot to shot recovery. The a310 is excellent for both.
I thought that getting a camera with AA batteries would leave me always having to replace them, but this camera has allowed me plenty of shots (around 200 so far), with the screen on and I still have yet to replace the batteries that came with the camera. That also includes many movies that I took (no sound but still worth taking).
The shot to shot recovery is great, about 3 seconds. I can take a shot and then be ready for another almost instantly. Also upon opening the lens the XD card does not need to be loaded at all, and the camera can take a picure as soon as the lens has loaded in the correct position.
All this for over a hundred dollars in savings to cameras that perform equally if not worse. The camera is small, cheap and takes great pictures. If you have the money you should get a 4 or 5MP camera however if you want a 3MP camera look no further than the a310.

Summary: Love this Camera
Review: I just bought this camera in September, took it on vacation to Yellowstone National Park - the photos were unbelievable. I had no experience with a digital camera, but this was so easy to use and the instruction book was easy to understand. I would recommend getting rechargeable batteries & a charger. Digital cameras eat batteries.
