Fuji Reviews

The price is the best part about this camera. I played with it for about two weeks and did not have a good deal of luck. Pictures outside in bright light were good. But any pictures indoors with light and flash were not as good as my other digital camera. Lot of blurry pictures. Flash would completely blackout the rest of the picture. LCD display not very crisp to check for blurriness of snapped pictures. Easy to use, just very slow in saving pictures, erasing pictures and shutter speed. I don't know how good a deal it is when the pictures don't come out well.

This camera is great as a starter digital camera, especially for people who are usually afraid of photography. The camera body is easy to hold and the buttons are laid out user-friendlily. It's the usual snap-and-go type, and anyone who half a brain can use the basic functions after picking it up. The memory cards have come down *a lot* in price so there's no reason to whine any more. BTW, speaking of price, the A210 can be had for under one-fifty if you shop around. For that price this is simply the best 3MP camera.

Image quality is excellent outdoors when light is aplenty. Night shots do tend to be dark and noisy (noise refers to the coarse-grained color dots you see in a poorly exposed picture). But after you read the manual you can do things to improve night shots. Besides, no camera takes great picures when there's insufficient light.

This is one great camera. My sister who is a professional photograher oftens borrows my Fugifilm because of the ease of use, great quality of pictures and it is compact. I am really impressed that I can finally take a decent picture and now have many of them as my wall paper on my computer.

Fuji/Olympus/Toshiba decided to bunch together and get a newer flash card format & earn some money on flash cards (like Sony) with their propreitary format. Didn't any of the existing 6 or 7 flash card formats meet their future needs ? Obviously not since they won't fetch any extra money for each card sold !

Maybe they will give up on selling xD based camera's if it hurts their sales big time ? After all they haven't got even 256MB out yet. No significant power difference either between 2600/2650 for example, neither does this newer format make your camera any faster while reading/writing. Ofcourse Fuji can claim any figure they like since no one can verify it, its a propreitary thing.

Well if you have already bought a xD card based camera, you don't have much choice left, do ya ? Go ahead and buy this card, its works fine in F*ji camera's atleast, can't say about Olympus or Toshiba cameras. Ofcourse outside of compatible camera's from these companies its useless, won't work in any mp3 player, PDA, cell phone etc.

Take care not to loose this, its too small & very very easy to loose. Plus its still got the connectors open like Smartmedia, so don't touch on connectors as static electricity can disable it. (What sort of improvement is that Fuji et al ?)

BTW, what brand of xD card you buy doesn't matter, they are all made by Toshiba as of now, just sold under different brand names.

I bought two 64MB XD picture cards, thinking I'd have one for backup if anything went wrong with one of them. I have yet to use the second one, and could probably have just gotten away with using the 16MB card that came with the camera as backup. Then again, if I did more travelling, it's like having two would be a smart move. I have no complaints about these XD cards.

I think these are great, I get a lot more battery life and they allow the camera to be much smaller...they may not be industry standard, but they were created by Olympus and Fuji, so even if they just become the standard in those two companies they'll stay around for quite some time.
