Amazing camera!! [Posted on 2007-12-03]
I LOVE THIS CAMERA!! It's small and perfect, takes great pictures, and very easy to use. I ONLY buy Fuji cameras because they are the easiest and best. Recommended to anyone!!
The absolute WORST customer service!!! [Posted on 2007-12-24]
The camera is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. Fuji has the worst customer service I have ever delt with. They pass you from one person to another and do everything they can not to help you. Be prepared to deal with the worst customer service in the business. I really hope this helps you.
Half the time it's wonderful - but, if your memories are important, don't depend on this one! [Posted on 2008-08-24]
This is my second Fuji digital camera. The first one was wonderful, and I assumed this one would be also, but after a year of use I am very disappointed. I'm not a professional photographer, I just need a point and shoot that is dependable on vacation and at special events. My f470 is in working order - what makes this camera undependable has something to do with the design.
The biggest problem with the F470 is the design of the LCD screen. It's simply horrid when you're taking outdoor pictures. The screen may be large but in bright sunlight it's next to impossible to see what you're going to get. It's just 2.5 inches of darkness. My previous Fuji had a viewfinder; there was no problem seeing what I was shooting - in any level of light.
The LCD screen is also difficult to see from any sort of an angle. So, unless I'm holding the camera in front of my face, I have only a vague idea of what I'm photographing.
The screen is a battery hog and it doesn't seem to bring much to the table on this camera model.
Another problem with this camera is that a good 30 percent of my shots are fuzzy and blurry. I know my hands don't shake perceptibly. This has been more of an issue with this camera than with any other I've ever owned (And I've owned quite a few in my life.)
The software, while not horribly difficult, is not especially user friendly either. The editing features are so limited that I felt it was necessary to purchase another photo editing software package just to satisfactorily crop and resize the shots.
All that being said, when everything comes together the f470 can take a nice clear, bright picture.
However, I've lost so many irreplaceable shots because of the limitations of this camera that I'm ready to put it aside and purchase a new camera with stabilization, a view finder in addition to the LCD screen, and the more easily found SD cards.
Two and a half stars - not recommended.

I received the camera quickly, and it is perfect. In fact, it came with all accessories, which I had not expected. Just like new. Thanks for the good service. Heidi
Used to be a great camera... [Posted on 2008-12-23]
I bought this camera in 2006 and it was working perfectly up until last week when I took it on vacation with me. One day the pictures were coming out fine, but the next day all the pictures I took had white horizontal lines running through them (and I note that this camera has never received any damage). And the lines were still in the pictures when I transferred them to my computer. I searched online for a solution to the problem and found that several other users have had the exact same thing happen to them. A few of them also noted that after they sent it in to be fixed, the problem was gone, but then came back not long after.
I could try to have it repaired, and I might, but I feel like the damage has already been done since this happened without warning and only about a dozen of my vacation pictures actually look like what they're supposed to.
Stay away from this unreliable camera.
