This is my second Fuji camera and I love it! It takes clear, sharp pictures and is really easy to use. The video feature captures wonderful footage with very little shake and decent audio. For a "point and shoot" camera this is excellent value for the money!

This is the 3rd Fuji Finepix I have owned. I've never had any problems with any of them and the pictures are great. I compared this one to a Sony at the same price, and the Fuji won me over. The Fuji now has the image stabilization which helps as I get older and cannot hold the camera as steady as I used to. Great little camera for the amateur or professional.

This is my second Fuji digital. My first one had a view finder. This one does not. I dont think anyone should buy a camera that doesnt have a view finder in my opinion. You just cant see the lcd screen in bright sunny conditions. I love Fuji picture quality. I like the size and the familiar functions. I just dont like that it doesnt have a viewfinder. No matter what brand I buy next, it will have a view finder.

I did a thorough research before I bought this cammera. For its price, I don't think you can ask for more. However, the picture can be a little bit grainy when viewed in full size (I'm not sure if this is the case for other cameras as well). One more thing, I can't find a way to view the recorded videos on my computer yet. I can transfer the videos from the SD card to my hard drive but can't view it. I can only hear the sound.

Edit 8/1/07: I am able to view the videos with Quicktime player. :)

I have owned this camera for about two years. It has been on many trips without missing a beat. I took my daughters to the park to take photos for a Father's Day project, & the photos turned at just as good as a professional photographer we had used for senior pix. They were stunning! The pictures were sharp & clean, the colors were bright, vibrant, & true. We even had a couple of the pictures enlarged to 8x10 size & they were still just beautiful.
The camera is easy to use. It has the versatility to take video as well & the footage was very good & the sound really surprised me at how clear it was! I didn't expect it to be very good, so I was pleasantly surprised.
The manual is also a plus. The instructions are clear & easy to understand. You don't have to be a professional to understand the directions.
I would recommend this camera to friends & family.

Pros -- Easy to use -- entry level camera

Cons -- Photo Print quality larger than 4 x 6 is very poor, lots of noise, colors do not seem natural. I would suggest that you spend a little extra money and buy the Nikon P-3 or P-4.

This is a great little camera. I wanted something small to carry to car shows, etc. It is small, easy to use, nice LCD and it takes great pictures.

I also purchased two more for my daughter and granddaughter. They both love it!

PICTURE QUALITY IS GOOD WITH A FLASH FOR EVENING OR LOW LIGHT SHOTS THE IMAGE QUALITY IS NOT THAT GREAT THOUGH.

I have a Toshiba 1.3 megpic I bought in 1998 and I bought a Fuji 4.1 for my wife last year and I can appreciate this camera, It's simple to use and it takes good pictures. I know if your Little Mr. I have Big bucks you can buy something better. But It all lays in read the instructions and apply your experiece and be patient....Burma Shave
