Considering price and quality, this camera is great! [Posted on 2006-12-27]
I recieved this camera as a gift about 2 years ago when i just started getting into photography. It's a very easy to use "snapshot camera" because theres not a whole lot of settings to change yet you still can get quality pictures. With the right lighting and atmosphere you can even create photos that look like they were done by professionals. Time and time again people have been amazed that my photos were taken with such a simple camera. I will try to submit some of my photos on amazon.

I also have dropped this camera at least 5 or 6 times and it still continued to work. One time i dropped it and the lens would not retract but this was only because the lens became unaligned. After popping it straight it worked perfectly. Only when the wind took it and caused it to hit some blacktop did i finally have to have the LCD screen replaced because it cracked.

The video quality is at a small resolution but i had no issues with that, only disappointed because there was no sound on it. I did have some issues with the exposure time because you cannot control it. You can only get long exposure on night shots and even then its only about 3 seconds of exposure. Would have been nice to have more control over that but as i said not expected with a snapshot type camera.


Overall i was really impressed with Fujifilm and would recommend a camera like this for those who take a lot of snapshots. As for those getting into photography, its a nice starter camera but it needs an upgrade to open up how creative you can get with it. I just bought a canon S3 IS so we will see how that works out.

Not even good for a beginner [Posted on 2007-02-20]
I'm not a photographer. I like to take quick snapshots of the kids, animals, etc. This camera couldn't even do that! It takes SO long to start up, and even longer to actually TAKE a picture. When trying to take a picture of a toddler it's impossible. It MIGHT be an okay camera is you're using it for inanimate objects, but I'm not even sure about that. And don't even try to take a picture in anything but perfect lighting. The pictures are unrecognizable.

My advice... by any other camera than this one. I can't imagine it would be any worse.

Older technology, but usable. [Posted on 2007-03-13]
I have used my Fugifilm A210 for two years now, here are some observations.
It is a much better camera than my first digital (1.3 MP Olympus).
The 16 MB memory is not enough, but 1 GB memory can be had for $30. I have found that 256MB is plenty.
It does take a while to store pictures and calculate focus and exposure, so I have lost oportunities for good shots because of this, but I have still captured crisp, colorful images.
I recommend you always carry spare batteries, but at least AA batteries are cheap and can be found anywhere.
My A210 has survived trips from the boundary waters (MN) to the summit of Mt. Fuji (Japan).
All that said, today (March 2007) you can find many better cameras for about $100. I just placed an order for a Fujifilm V10 for $125. It promises to provide better performance in a pocket size package.
If you don't mind carrying a bigger camera, my choice would be a Canon Rebel XP. This camera has fine optics and Canon's Digic II chip allows rapid fire shooting. For the street price of $575 this is a good value.

Today This Camera Meets My Hammer [Posted on 2007-12-26]
I put fresh rechargable batteries into this camera Christmas Eve, then didn't use it. The next day, the red battery light was on when I tried the first photo. Of course, waiting for the camera to green light you for a photo takes at least 7 seconds -- no joke -- which burns battery and wastes many an opportunity. Even at lower resolutions, reload is a huge problem -- downloading the photos to disk to empty the card is no help. I took one photo at Christmas because I didn't bring spare batteries. If you didn't know better, you would think this camera was made at the dawn of digital technology, and you were the caveman that got suckered into buying it.

I rarely get a good photo out of this camera, and I used to enjoy a rep as the reliable family photographer -- no more. The zoom is useless as it moves by gigantic distances and can't be backed up in any smaller increment. It makes a noise like its moving, but I think it has two settings; close and closer -- nothing in between.

There is simply nothing about this camera worth your time. Its so painful to use, you never do and might as well not own a camera. Its also pretty massive and makes you look like a tourist ready to get robbed wherever you take it.

SLOW,SLOWER, MISSED A SHOT, NO PICTURE TAKEN [Posted on 2008-07-29]
Bought this camera at the recommendation of the service rep at Walmart for an inexpensive easy to use camera for my wife.

Only good for still shots,
slow to start
slower to reset 2nd picture
missed a shot its so slow
sometime never reset (Battery eater)thus no pictures at all
Quality of picture is OK, but that only happens when you can actually take one.
Horrible frustrating camera that both my wife and I hate to use - getting a new camera, just not a fuji
