Amazon.com Product Description

The compact, affordable FujiFilm FinePix A210 is a great go-anywhere snapshot digital camera that can also create prints up to 11 x 14 inches. It features a 3.2-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, easy-to-operate automated controls, and movie mode.

Optics and Resolution
With its 3.2-megapixel resolution, you can capture 2048 x 1536 pixel images for photo-quality 8 x 10 prints and medium-quality 11 x 14 enlargements. It also offers 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480 resolution modes. The Fujinon 3x optical zoom is equivalent to 36-108mm in 35mm photography. The A210 also includes a 3.2x digital zoom.

Movie Mode
The FinePix A210 captures 320 x 240 pixel video for up to 60 seconds, or 160 x 120 pixel video for up to 240 seconds (4 minutes). It does not include audio.

More Features

• 1.5-inch LCD monitor and a real-image optical viewfinder
• Built-in, pop-up flash with auto, red-eye reduction, forced flash, suppressed flash, and slow synchro modes
• White balance modes: automatic, manual (fine, shade), fluorescent (daylight, warm white, and cool white), incandescent, and custom
• 10-second self timer

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on XD memory cards, and a 16 MB card is included. When shooting images at 3 MP, the 16 MB card will store approximately 19 images; at 2 MP, you can store approximately 25 images. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Optional Cradle
The FinePix A210 is also compatible with the optional CP-FXA10 Picture Cradle, which makes it easy to download images to your PC or charge NiMH rechargeable batteries. It can also act as a video platform when connected to your TV.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries; alkaline batteries are included, but rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended. It measures 3.9 by 2.6 by 2.1 inches and weighs 6.2 ounces (excluding batteries and media).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter digicam, November 27, 2003

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent low end camera!, November 8, 2003

This review is from: Fujifilm A210 3.2 MP Digital Camera w/3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I like this camera because:

a) Its batteries last for more than just a few pics (so far the first set has taken more than 15 pics).

b) It's comfortable to use (nice size and shape) and nice looking.

c) It takes great pics. Color is rich and image is realistic.

d) It connects easily via USB and the software is simple if a bit more than what i need.

e) You can connect it directly to your video viewer (TV, another cam, or VCR) with the included video cable.

I don't like that:

a) The power switch slides instead of clicking off and on (could leave it on by mistake since its position is always the same).

b) You have to switch it to another mode to view pics easily (you CAN see them in the main view, but it's a pain).

Excellent buy at $200!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good deal but lacks sharpness, May 12, 2004

I've used a pretty wide range of digital cameras so I feel comfortable grading the Finepix 210 a solid 3, possibly a 3.5. I bypassed inexpensive 2MP cameras to make the jump to this, one of the least expensive 3MP ones around that had decent reviews.
After using it I can say that it is definitely lacking the sharpness of competitors like the Nikon Coolpix 3100. I only use it at the highest quality level and even closeups for portraits are obviously not razor sharp like I've become accustomed to with the 3MP Nikon and Sony products.
On the other hand this camera is at least $50-$70 less than the competitors and when accessories are factored in I was able to get the camera, a 128MB xd card and the handy USB cradle (with rechargeable battery) for $100 less than I could've with Nikon or Sony.
The bottom line: this is a decent camera that puts 3MP in reach of the average casual user but it is not very sharp.
