For the novice digital photographer, the Fuji FinePix A303 offers 3-megapixel resolution with flexible functions in a trim, slim design--just over 5 ounces with batteries. It also is one of the first digital cameras to utilize the tiny XD memory card.

Optics and Resolution
Featuring a CCD sensor with 3.24 million effective pixels, the FinePix A303 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels) and prints up to 11 by 14 inches. The FinePix A303 features a fast f/2.8 Fujinon lens with a 3x optical zoom and a 3.2x digital zoom for a 9.6x total zoom. Its lens focal length is equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm camera.

Storage and Transfer
The FinePix A303 is one of the first digital cameras to be compatible with the new XD memory card. Comparable in size to a penny and weighing less than one-tenth of an ounce, the new XD memory card is not only the smallest storage medium, it also uses less power for better battery performance and has faster data transfer rates than other memory cards. The included 16 MB XD card will store approximately 12 images at fine mode and 26 images at normal mode.

To transfer images to your computer, simply attach the included USB cable between your PC and your camera--your computer should automatically recognize the camera and let you move the pictures to your hard drive.

Movie Mode
In movie mode, the FinePix A303 produces digital videos (with no sound) in QVGA (320 x 240) format for movies approximately 60 seconds in length at 10 frames per second. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.

More Features

  • 1.5-inch LCD monitor
  • White balance: auto, plus six selectable positions in manual mode
  • Flash modes: auto, red-eye reduction, forced flash, suppressed flash, and slow synchro
  • Sensitivity: ISO 100 equivalent
  • Shutter speed: 1/2 to 1/2,000 second

Power
The FinePix A303 is powered by two AA batteries (alkalines are included). We recommend getting a set or two of rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and a charger. A digital camera will kill a set of alkaline batteries extremely quickly, especially if you're using the camera's LCD, so they aren't recommended except in a pinch.

Size
At 3.8 by 2.5 by 1.4 inches and 5.1 ounces (without battery), the FinePix A303 is an easily pocketable point-and-shoot camera.

Contents
This package includes the FinePix A303 digital camera, a 16 MB XD memory card, two AA alkaline batteries, a USB cable, a hand strap, and a CD-ROM with software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe FinePix A303 is Nice Point & Shoot Digital Camera!
By Roy Chan on May 4, 2003
Pros: This camera is compact, easy to use, has very good photo quality, inexpensive, Easy menu navigation, 3X zoom lens in relatively compact body, separate self-timer mode.
Cons: The movie (video) mode has no sound, Some add ons are a must and cost more, No rechargeable battery included, fairly long shot-to-shot delay, noisy images.
Summary: Just bought the A303, and I don't think I could be any happier. I have been snapping and printing shots for the past few days and it has been very easy, even for a technological nivice such as myself. The camera is small, good looking, and lightweight (7oz!). I Paid $300 before accessories, resonable for 3 megapixels. The camera basically comes with everything one would need, but for those who take a lot of shots, a larger memory card (16mb included with camera) would be necessary. I looked at many other brands. Canons were a little bit overpriced, Sonys looked good, but the accessories end up costing more than the camera. If your first time digital enthusiast like me, go for the A303, you won't be sorry!

4.0 out of 5 starsFuji A303 is well worth the money....
By Robert Gledhill on March 11, 2003
This is my third digital camera. My first was an Olympus, second an Fuji 2800. Listen very carefully. Each of the above digital cameras have (some) things I like better than the new Fuji A303. For example the Olympus has a far better optical zoom, but I go through batteries like food through a duck (it's awful), my Fuji 2800 has a SLR feel to it, very nice camera, but the if you choose not to use the LCD viewer, you viewing through a lens simulation, but it's really a LCD, a feature that is really a non feature. The movie feature actually has sound (a plus). My new Fuji (tired of waiting?) is powerful 3.24 m/p, nice 3X optical zoom. Here is the best part of this camera, IT'S SMALL, and easy to use. This is particularly important to women who have the smaller designer purses, this will actually fit. It's the size of a cigarette package. For most of us this Fuji has more features you will ever use. For me I set it on A (automatic)setting. You will love the use of the setting wheel, this saves you time, for example if you need a close-up, macro just turn the wheel one click, no menus to scroll down (I love it). Regarding the media card, this is smaller, looks like th older smartmedia, just smaller. Since I have three Digital cameras, I purchased a duel card reader, it reads the larger smart media, and the (new) very compact XD card. I just figured the small card is just more practical for the smaller cameras. The camera is also very handsome. The color LCD on the back is 1.5" and is very nice, If you like to look through a view finder (I do), you look through a lens viewer. A compact camera, 3.24 M/Pixel, and all the features. Save yourself time & money buy the A303, and thank me later, really.

5.0 out of 5 starsFuji FinePix A303 Review
By Amazon Customer on November 15, 2002
I have recently purchased this camera and my wife and I have been testing it extensively to determine its quality.
We have both been pleased with the outdoor and indoor results. In either case, the pictures comes out very sharp and identical to what we would have seen with our own eyes.
The camera is very easy and intuitive to use. This in combination with its small size makes it convenient.
The main problem with this camera is that it is very power hungry...especially when downloading the pictures onto a computer via the provided USB cable. I would highly recommend purchasing the AC power adapter when downloading the pictures or using it for video teleconferencing.

4.0 out of 5 starsDynamite little package- but not without its problems
By Mark Hills on June 2, 2003
Buying a digital camera these days seems to be about as easy as using a spoon to empty Lake Superior. It's a daunting task to say the least, simply because there are so many different manufacturers out there and each makes several cameras. Worse, there are some companies that shouldn't be making digital cameras because the products are so lousy (Polaroid springs to mind). I myself looked at several cameras under five-hundred dollars and above two-hundred dollars as a starting point. I also had criteria including things like I didn't care whether it could capture video. All I wanted was a camera that took pictures and could then transfer those images to my PC. Once I started this process, narrowing down what camera I wanted became a little easier.
There aren't many digital cameras out there that can take pictures as well as a half decent 35mm SLR, at least not yet. Some make a very good attempt at it, but, and this is an important but, you're buying the convenience of not having to spend money developing rolls and rolls of film. Another criteria I looked at was storage medium- Compact Flash cards, Sony's proprietary memory sticks or the new XD cards. After examining the different media types, I found I didn't care which one my future camera took. How many of these things are you gonna need, anyway? Between the 16 mb card that came with the camera and the 64 mb card I bought with it, I can store about 250-300 high quality images. That's a lot of pictures and considering you can review and the delete the ones you don't like, freeing up extra space. So unless you're taking a 3-month tour of Europe, it is unlikely that you will run out of memory to store pictures.
Initially I had settled on the Sony DSCP7 3.Read more ›
