Great deal for the price, and simple to use too!
Date of Review: May 11, 2005
I got this for Christmas, not because it seemed like the best model for me, but because Best Buy was out of the Canon I wanted. I'm actually pleasantly surprised with how everything turned out.
Sure, it doesn't have the bells and whistles of, say, the Canon a75 (the movie mode isn't as fancy, and there are fewer manual settings), but for most people, I think this gets the job done, with much more simple and user-friendly features. Plus, with the Finepix, you get a 4.0MP camera for less than what many 3.2MP models go for.
Image clarity has been great on 98% of the the several hundred images I've taken, with exceptions in two categories: a)photos taken when the subject was moving really fast (only in 2 images I've taken), or b)photos taken when when the shutter lag made me take an image different from the one I had intended.
If you want to see some of the shots I've taken with this camera since Christmas, check the following link: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lilacattak/my_photos
For the price it's gone down to (I've seen it as low as $130 at various places), it's just an amazing deal.
Hope this helps someone :)
