I have many cameras, including a Nikon D50, an Olympus SP-500UZ, a Canon Powershot A540, a Fuji Finepix A360, a Nikon Coolpix 5700, and of course this one, the Fuji Finepix A600. My favorite compact is the Canon A540, BUT - its just a bit too big to carry on your belt 24/7, which is what I do with this Fuji. What I like about the Fuji cameras is the color. Fuji colors just seem to pop off the screen to me. I can usually tell when browsing Flickr, or other photo sites, which pictures were taken with a Fuji before I look at the specs.

I would give this Fuji 5 stars if they increased battery life a bit, improved the rather crappy preview screen, and added a few more manual controls. But the pictures I've taken with it I love - and I love its portability, and the fact that it uses AA batteries. (I hate proprietary batteries...) I'd recommend it, particularly for a carry everywhere camera.

I bought this camera because I wanted a smaller, lighter, digital camera with a larger LCD screen. I am very pleased with the quality of this camera for this price range. I find it simple to use and just right for someone who enjoys a point and shoot camera without too many confusing buttons on the outside. The movie mode is great for capturing those special moments when you do not have your cam corder handy. It takes great pictures and is easy to carry around with you.

A NICE HANDY CAMERA FOR GENERAL USE, INDOOR SNAPSHOTS AND CLOSE OUTDOOR SHOTS.

PROBLEMS:

EATS BATTERIES LIKE A GANG OF TEENAGERS RAIDING THE ICE BOX.

FOCUS IS "IFY", INDOORS WITH FLASH IT MAY LOOK GOOD ON THE REPLAY, BUT WHEN YOU DOWN LOAD THE PHOTOS THEY ARE FUZZY.

IN DOORS WITH FLASH YOU BETTER BE CLOSE TO THE SUBJECT OR THE PHOTO WILL BE DARK.

ALL IN ALL AFTER YOU GET USETO IT, ITS A NICE LITTLE CAMERA. SIMPLE TO USE AND HANDY. YOU JUST HAVE TO STAY WITH IN ITS LIMITATIONS. WELL MADE AND SOLID. JUST CARRY A LOT OF EXTRA BATTERIES

My kids bought me a Fuji 4.0 megapixel camera for my birthday a while back. I loved that camera but wanted a little more MPs so bought this and am delighted. Even easier to use than my older camera.

I have a 35 mm Nikon and love the quality of the pics. So, I was skeptical to purchase a digital camera and be dissapointed by the quality of the pictures compared to the 35mm.

I was not dissappointed. This camera is easy to throw in the glove compartment/jacket pocket, etc. The quality of the pictures is great. Dowload to the software, is fast and easy (I use various softwares) and print at home.

I have enlarged pictures to a 8x10 and had no pixelated pics.

The colors are sharp and the Super ccd has a lot to do with it, the mega pixels does not determine the quality of the picture.

I use rechargeable batteries and always carry a charged spare. It does eat up the batteries quickly, but with rechargeables around, it is not a problem.

I shoot a lot of pictures and this has been extremely easy to use and download. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the battery issue, but I could give it 5 because even and 8 yr old could use it.

The learning curve is intuitive is you don't want to use the manual.
Firmware upgrade found easily on Fuji's website.

This camera is sweet. Just got pictures back from Walmart. Can't even tell they came from a digital camera. Look as good as a 35mm. Just take a hour and read the manual and you won't belive how easy it is to use after that. The huge screen is awsome.

I can't say enough good things about this camera!!! I had a Fujifilm finepix 2650, but on the 28th of May, the last day of my vacation I dropped it taking what was going to be the last picture before we headed home, after that I couldn't get the lens to focus, so the hunt was on for a new one, I knew I wanted a Fuji because I really liked my 2650, but I couldn't find that model; except one's that were refurbished and I didn't want to go that route. I looked at this camera and it had everything I was looking for and more. I'm very happy with my purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one or maybe two, especially from this seller, excellent service and fast delivery. It takes beautiful pictures, it's very easy to navigate, and I love the fact that there's sound on the video clips, that's something the 2650 did not have. I haven't been able to put this thing down. Thank you Amazon and buyers_store excellent service as always. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is in the market for a new camera.

I own a Canon SLR camera and it has been my carry everwhere camera for many years. It's big and bulky! I finally broke down and bought this compact easy-to-carry camera for taking snapshots after researching different brands/models. I can honestly say that I am not disappointed in the least. My SLR will take better quality pictures overall, but it is tiresome to carry around and set up. The picture quality of the finepix camera is GREAT! Even enlargements look crisp and clear... I've enlarged some of mine to 16x20. The one downside, it burns batteries extremely fast. I would invest in some good rechargeable ones if purchasing!

I bought this as a point and shoot because I can't stick my S5000 in my shirt pocket and I'm pretty happy with my two other Fuji's. But, this one is different. The metering is way off, even when I shoot it on manual and adjust the white balance the results are not as good as with my old MX 1700. Additionally, the focus is not as crisp as with my other 2 Fuji's.

Although it has some nice features it does not not fulfill the basic function of a decent quality point and shoot.

The camera takes great quality pictures I'll give it that and the battery life is fair at best. But be prepared to lose pictures! The camera has a poor design of not warning you that you have run out of space on a memory card and will then start to save on the camera's own memory. From my experience you have about a 50/50 chance of being able to download the overflow of pictures that saved on the camera. But the worst part is that this camera is notorious for a random formatting ("Card not initialized") error. You have about a 20% chance of recovering your photos under this circumstance. I once tried 4 different data retrieval softwares with no luck to get back precious photos that are now gone forever. I am in the process of buying a new non-Fuji camera now because I can't stand the heartbreak of losing any more photos. But don't just take my word for it.

Don't buy this camera if you actually want to keep the photos you take!!!
