love this camera [Posted on 2007-04-18]
i love this camera. so far its the best digital camera i've owned. the only problem with this camera is that it eats the batteries like crazy. Its best to buy rechargable batteries so that you dont spend so much money.

I bought a nice used fuji a350. IT's good for the most part. Software is good to use, if you know anything about draging highlighted stuff over to a folder. It took me some time to figure it out. The camera in the first few weeks, the telescoping lense somehow got cocked out of possition, and would not slide back in. I don't know if it was bumped or jumped gear? I very carefully, examined it, and did some chriopractic bone snap and got it back in place and seems to work now. The pics turn out nice for the most part. , but can be blurry probably due to movement?. Im not happy with very close up's, but maybe there is a manual setting?? You must stay away about 18 inches for it to not be blurry. The flash I think is alittle under-power, so night shots should be with normal talking distance. The Video mode sucks. sound and video skip about every 10 seconds. Sometimes making the sound off track of the video for quick split second or cuts out. I don't know if this is normal or is my camera bad? but im figuring from my research it very well could be normal for this model. But the video does come in handy if your not worried about little skips or missing words due to audio cutting as well. I dont like the delay when you take a picture. THis is my first real dig. camera, comming from a kodak dc20 win.3.1 type. so I will know what to look for when i get a different one, but for now, I think 5mp will be fine for my picture taking. Bring extera batteries.
Good for what its worth. [Posted on 2007-07-21]
I have had this camera for about a year. It takes excellent pictures, but it does eat batteries and recently- it finally died. None of the pictures I now take come out. Sometimes they do and sometimes they have tons of thick white scratchy lines on them. This has never happened before. I always keep everything on automatic.

For 8 months, this camera did what it was supposed to. Then the lens would not open. Sent back to Fuji under warranty and 6 weeks later, it was fixed. No issues for another 8 months, then sometimes the lens opens and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will come into focus and sometimes it won't. This = missed photos or some blurry shots.
It was decent while it lasted, just bought a Canon.

This is actually the 2nd of this basic model that I have owned. For the price I paid it takes good pics.
I didn't have the blurry picture issues that some folks have complained about. I suspect a lot of them were taking pictures indoors and had turned the flash off.
However, both of these have had problems with the lens sticking. The first one was an A345 and it's lens failed after about 13 months, i.e. after the warranty ran out.
I bought the A350 as a replacement about a year ago because I liked the layout of the controls on the A345 and the optical viewfinder, great for action shots. I love the continuous shooting mode, if you're trying to catch a good shot of a duck coming in for a landing or taking off, or any other kind of action shot this feature works great.
Now the lens is starting to stick on the A350. From the other reviews I've seen this appears to be a basic design flaw.
I like to carry a camera with me all the time in case there's a photo opportunity. This camera does not appear to be rugged enough for that. I'm going to take it to work to photograph equipment and test setups as long as it holds up and probably pop about $100 more for a decent Canon to carry around.
