 Great Camera, good value. June 6, 2010
36 out of 37 found this review helpful
This camera was bought for my son's 16th birthday. As any normal teenager would do, he took it out of the wrapping and started taking photo's, no sign of him ever reading the manual. Fantastic photo's they are to. Lovely size screen, very intuitive. He takes lots of pictures of racing cars on and off track. Still life in the garden and animals, the camera seems to adjust well to various 'light' and weather conditions. Great value for money.
 Great camera, shame about the software July 15, 2010

I bought this camera after my previous one broke. I needed to start using this very soon after it was delivered and was pleased to find it very easy to setup and start using it.
It's auto mode is very good at picking the right settings, pictures are taken quickly and can be viewed clearly and quickly through the ample-sized screen.
The one thing that lets this camera down is the software that you have to use to get the pictures onto your computer. With my last camera you simply plugged it in and could access the files on it directly but with this camera you have no choice but to use Fujifilm's software. It works ok but it's not a very nice interface and you have to copy all the pictures off of your camera at once rather than just your latest ones.
Overall though I would still recommend this as a good camera for your money.

Firstly the positives. The camera doesn't take all that long to boot up, it has a wide variety of shooting modes, it produces high quality images, even at 5x zoom it can be used hand held to produce decent images, alkali or rechargeable both batteries seem to last forever.
Now the negatives which is unfortunately much longer. After booting up if left in auto mode it often picks the wrong shooting mode (eg Macro for Landscape shots) leading to ages trying to focus before giving up and taking a fairly poor photograph, this doesn't happen all the time but when it does is irritating, but can be fixed by leaving the camera in the mode next likely to be used. The video files are HUGE, but the auto focus is so poor during filming it the quality can't be seen during playback. Low light or far zoom pictures can look grainy.
Now for the reason for the two star review: Mine broke. It was outdoors in the dry in the operating range stated in the manual and the camera switched off without retracting the lens. Assuming it was the batteries and a very poor system for handing running out of power a fresh set of AAs from my pocket were used. But to no effect, the camera wouldn't respond. It was possible to eventually retract it after I got it home after many attempts, but the opportunity for taking my own photos was gone.
If it had lasted I would have given at least a 3 if not 4 for this camera as the price is certainly good enough to overlook a lot of its shortcomings.
