I researched digital cameras for ages. I was told that FujiFilm was a good brand to go with, but every camera I looked at had some issue. Eventually I decided to go with this camera, but was terrified that it would be of bad quality. When I finally got it, I was so relieved. THIS CAMERA IS AWESOME! The pictures are of great quality, and the LCD screen is so clear and big! The only thing that is a bit hard is that the keys are tiny, which might be harder for people with large fingers. I strongly recomend you read the manual, because with my past cameras I missed out on features such as black and white pictures, and being able to crop the pictures ON THE CAMERA!
To anyone who just wants a nice camera, but is worried about what to get, go with this camera and you won't be dissapointed.

Recently my old Fujifilm 2600Z stopped working after many years of reliable service. I love the colors of Fujifilm digital cameras so I ordered a Fuji A700. I was very disappointed with the camera (blurry and grainy photos). I ended up exchanging the A700 for a Sony cybershot. The sony was even worse than the A700 (blurry and dull color). I took the Sony back too. I was beginning to believe I'd never find another camera that I liked as much as my old Fuji. Well, I found it in the F470. This camera takes great pictures in any lighting - crystal clear and vivid color. I also like the fact that you can take photos one right after another with very little time in between snapping shots. This would be a great camera for someone with little kids that are always in motion and you want to take one picture quickly after another.

The only reason I gave this camera 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would prefer it to have regular alkaline or rechargable batteries that are cheaper and easier to find. Overall, after looking at three cameras, this one wins hands down.

I noticed a lot of people are asking what comes in the box in addition to the camera. This is what came in mine: USB cable, A/V cable, battery, battery charger, CD of software, and owner's manual.

i bougth this beatuful camera and its great the screen is amazing, i worried about tyhe rechargable batery but it says that is enough for 200 pictures and already took almost 90 pics and still says full charge.
the time to charge the full batery is 90 min and is exact 90 min is totaly full charge. is complety made of metal and the ccd sistem for fuji make the pics look more than amaizing even in dark places
i complety recoment this product is great

small inexpensive camera but very good for the price. Takes great pictures and records short movies. The quality of both movies and pictures is outstanding.Very good in the dark as well as in the sun. The only problem I've encountered so far is that when you are taking a picture in the dark, you might not see anything on the monitor, but the picture comes out excellent. Another thing is that you can only delete pictures one by one but it's not that bad, since you are protected from deleting all by pressing a button by accident. Camera comes with FinePix software to get your photos and movies onto the PC.

I have been researching digital cameras because I am going to Europe for a year and want to take pictures, which I mostly will be sending back by email. I wanted at least 5MPs in my camera and I wanted to get a halfway decent size card to store pictures, all for under $300. I have been using my parents Canon Powershot SD400 Digital Elph that has great quality, but I was worried about the LCD screen because I might be a little rough on the camera (i.e., backpacking, shoving into a bag or my pocket) and it didn't fit into my budget. I looked at the Casio Exilim, but I did not want to use a cradle to download my pictures if I was traveling with my laptop. I decided on the Fuji because it had 6MPs, a large screen and seemed like it got well reviews. I just received it and have been taking pictures and movies with it. The photo quality is great when downloaded on to the computer. It took a while to get use to the quality on the screen because it is not as good as the Canon I have. The movies are great, but I cannot zoom when filming (not a real big deal). The sound quality isn't as good as my other camera but that could be my computer or the fact that the talking subject was close to the mic. I don't mind not having a view finder because I never really used it on my other digital cameras. The buttons would be rather small for some one with big fingers but I have no problem. I not too sure about the software I am still playing around with it, but it seems just like every other digital camera software.
Along with the camera, I got a 512 MB picture card, which is big enough for me with around 300+ pictures. I got all this (the camera, the card, and shipping) for around $280. It is great for what I wanted an inexpensive camera that takes good quality photos, which I will be emailing. I am happy so far.

I bought this a month ago and am extremly happy with it. It has a very minimal shutter lag compared to most other digital cameras, making for a very quick response time. Picture quality is outstanding. Great price for a 6MP camera, especially considering the size. Highly recommend it.

I bought this camera for a semester abroad, to take pictures while I traveled. The pictures are not only superb, but the camera is light, durable, and compact so i can store it in my pocket while wandering around in a city. The lag between pictures is almost close to having a real camera where you have to wind it, it is very quick. It also starts up very quick so if you need to take a picture fast, you can. Overall this camera was a great buy, and almost every picture I take with it comes out looking gorgeous.

I recently bought my Fuji F470 and have been blown away by how easy it is to use. Its so lightweight and small and the picture quality is fantastic. I tried the Olympus FE-190 before this one but the picture quality was terrible. If you're looking for a camera to take everyday pictures, this is a great one.

In January my daughter bought this camera after we read the reviews and decided on what features she wanted. However within 5 months the camera stopped functioning. We sent it to the Fuji Repair center and was told it would be fixed or replaced within 2 weeks. It took six weeks to receive a replacement. Five weeks after getting this replacement the exact same thing went wrong - the camera starts up, the lcd panel goes blank, the lens won't retract and the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. Nothing can be done but to send it in for repairs again. My daughter is hoping it won't take another 6 weeks to get it replaced (again). NOT RELIABLE!

I love Olympus digital cameras! I've bought several for home and school and they always take wonderful photos on even the cheapest model.
I was going to buy a new little Olympus, and my son talked me into considering this little Fujifilm Finepix instead. I have to say that this is the most awesome camera I have seen for around $200. It has many special settings--but a day with the owner's manual and a little experimentation has allowed me to try some of these out and it really adds alot of dimension to a point and shoot camera. I love the "flower" setting. It makes really great close ups--they almost look 3-D on the flower setting. The automatic setting is wonderful--great shots with point and shoot. But there are also low light settings, micro settings, short video with sound from a built in mic. I'm still experimenting with all the settings--but so far--great fun--and really wonderful resolution and color. I almost feel like I have some of the control back that I used to have with my 35 mm. This camera is very compact--I have to wear my glasses to see the menu items--but they are logical little symbols--which are easier to see than most. The buttons are large enough to press with no trouble. I think what I am most impressed with is the actual color--it is brighter and more intense than the Olympus I was going to buy.
