5.0 out of 5 stars Fuji J28, a simple camera for the budget-minded person, October 20, 2009
This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix J28 10.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My first digital camera was a Fuji 2 MP bought in October 2004 - I still own that camera and it works great, but -- I love this new Fuji Finepix J28 even more, but only for the simplicity of use this camera affords.

If you like manual settings on a camera, you will not be happy with this camera. This camera is for the person who is looking for a simple-to-use point & shoot camera. In the Manual Mode, you can only change the ISO setting (from 100 to 3200), exposure value and white balance--that's it.

In my opinion, the Fuji FinePix J28 goes head-to-head with the Canon Powershot A480, (which I ordered previously and returned) the Canon being a little more expensive, although prices can vary day to day. Canon PowerShot A480 10 MP Digital Camera with 3.3x Optical Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Black)

The Fuji pictures are more color saturated and sharper in general, but the Canon A480 takes better close-up (macro) shots. You are able to get closer to your subject with the Canon, so if you are solely wanting to take close-up pictures of jewelry or coins for eBay, for example, I think the Canon may be a better choice for you.

If you play around with the J28, you will be able to get some halfway decent MACRO shots. Look at some of my pictures I have uploaded and you can see the difference between the watch shot at 5 MP from 4 inches away and the coin shot at 10 MP from farther and then cropped. I get my best macro shots from setting the resolution to 10MP Fine, and holding the camera at least 6 inches away from the subject, then cropping it. Otherwise, they turn out pretty bad.

However, for all-around picture taking of vacations, pets, people, and everything else, this Fuji J28 is superior for the following reasons:

1. The lithium-ion battery is longer lasting than AA alkaline batteries. I was able to take 224 pictures before the battery needed recharging.
2. J28's colors are brighter and more saturated.
3. The J28 LCD screen is slightly larger.
4. SR-Auto - (Scene Recognition Auto) Just leave it on this setting and you can't help but take a good picture.
5. Flash recycling time is MUCH shorter with the J28 than the A480 - recycling time is the number of seconds after a flash picture has been taken before the camera is ready to take another picture.
6. You can use the optical zoom while recording a movie with the J28. With most cheaper point & shoot cameras, you cannot use the zoom. But you must set the zoom before you start recording, it cannot be changed during recording.
7. The menus and buttons are more intuitive with the J28.
8. The plastic body of the Fuji J28 seems to be more durable. Just one complaint: The shiny body shows every fingerprint!

Older and more technically challenged people should have no trouble using this camera. On the same note, this is perfect for younger kids too, due to the price. Just set the menu to SR-Auto and six different scenes will be recognized automatically: Landscape, Portrait, Nightlit Portrait, Backlit Portrait, Night, and Macro. You don't have to do a thing but press the shutter halfway to focus, then once the focus is locked, press the button all the way down.

I've taken over 200 pictures with no blurry ones yet. My hands aren't the steadiest and I have 3 cats that won't hold still and pose for me, yet every picture of them has been perfect with this camera.

If I could find something to complain about - and I think this may have to do with the price point of this camera - I would love to have a dial on top to access the settings instead of having to go through the menu. Also, I'm really disappointed that Fuji can't come up with better photo editing software than what they supply with their cameras, it hasn't changed much at all since 2004 (Picasa is better). But these are my only complaints, and not enough to warrant a reduction in stars in my rating.

I've uploaded some photos taken with this camera, please check them out!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love my J28, October 9, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix J28 10.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)
I received my Fuji J28 a couple of day ago and I love it! I decided to buy it over the Canon A480 because the J28 is WAY thinner and also takes a rechargeable battery. This is the perfect camera for me because the camera has a mode called SR-Auto which will automatically detect 6 different scenes. It can detect if I take a photo of my kids, a flower or landscape. I love to hike and the small size makes it east to carry in my pocket. My photos are very sharp and colorful.

This is one of the easiest cameras that I have ever owned because there are only a few buttons on the back and the menu is very intuitive. There are many advanced features available if you know how to use them.

I have already taken over 100 pictures over the last couple of days and I haven't had to recharge the battery.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase. The features and feel and look of the J28 remind me of a more expensive camera. I would definitely recommend this camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little camera for the value, October 25, 2009
By Elmira (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix J28 10.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Length:: 2:35 Mins

This is a nice little camera. The first thing I noticed about this camera was how light it is. It barely weighs anything, so putting it in my pocket doesn't weigh my pants down. It is also nice and small and doesn't feel bulky when in my pocket. Out of the box it is quick and easy to use.

Pros:
(1) Easy to use. The Scene Recognition Mode (SR) makes it completely auto--no switching around to landscape or auto mode, etc. while shooting.
(2) Light. I don't think I've used a digital camera that is this light before. Even my other cameras with li-ion batteries are heavier.
(3) Value. This is a great price for a good camera.

Cons:
(1) The SR mode can make it a little difficult to focus in macro mode. I tried taking pictures of flowers and it had trouble focusing. Switching to macro mode worked fine.
(2) Panoramic mode. In this mode you take 3 pictures to get one long one--you need to line each picture up on the view screen with the previous one you took. I couldn't see on the view screen well enough to match up the edged of each photo to create a good panoramic picture. They all ended up a bit off. (seen the video for examples)
(3) The battery compartment lid opened while I was using the camera. The latch seems to be a little too easy to open and because my thumb was positioned right on top of it I would inadvertently open it while taking pictures.
(4) Switching between modes is a pain. There is no quick switch button--you must go through the menu to change modes. A little bit of a pain for me, especially when switching between video and still photos.

The video shows its size and a few pictures of it. I also took a number of pictures in my back yard and while sailing. I took this camera out with me on our sailboat (an Ultimate 20--a 20' racing boat) during a regatta in the San Francisco Bay and it held up very well. I didn't get it wet, but it stayed in my pocket while I was bounced around, knocked over halfway into the water, and jumped back and forth on the boat. I took a short video of us racing to get an idea of the quality--both video and sound.

I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a less expensive, decent digital camera. It is simple and easy to use for basic shots. I don't think it is good for someone who is an experienced photo-taker (I'm not saying photographer because I mean someone who is an everyday person who takes lots of pictures of everything). For the price, though, it is a great entry-level digital camera.
