I don't recommend this camera at all... I bought this camera for my vacation but the shot button doesn't seem to work everytime. It seems like the camera is taking a long time of trying to focus (especially outdoor!) and that takes me out of many chances for wonderful pictures. Also, I only used it for 5 rolls of film so far(I will return it tomorrow, no more), and there's already 1 roll got stuck and I have to bring to the camera store to recover my pictures...it's really a horrible experience.

Before it died, this was an acceptible camera. Unfortunately the automatic lens features fell apart and Fuji refuses to fix it without a store receipt AND the warranty card. It's unreasonable to refuse to fix obvious manufacturing defects.

In particular, the automatic lens cover doors no longer function, and the lens will not zoom. Since the lens cover won't open, the camera's as good as dead.

I'm thoroughly unhappy with Fuji's customer service, and this camera is to be avoided.

I found this Camera very easy to use.I could put it in my pocket and go.Outdoors it is hard to beat.Indoors the flash does not throw very far.It's great for closeups, like friends at a table.But far shots indoors are not it's forte.It produces beautiful clear photos. Good value for the money.
