So Many Problems! [Posted on 2007-05-01]
My son got this camera last December (2006). It has been nothing but trouble right out of the box. We put batteries in and from the first time we turned it on, it would not function properly. I contacted Fuji and sent the defective camera back to them for re-working. I figured that was okay, as any camera can be defective, and surely once it is repaired or replaced, it will be fine. (BTW, I had to pay to send it to Fuji, even though it was under warranty.) I received the repaired camera in about a month, and it seemed to work! I was happy to try it out. I took exactly three pictures before the old problems started. I don't know what was wrong with the camera, but the viewfinder was either completely dark, or streaked with white lines. I thought it was just a viewfinder problem, so I continued to take pictures just to see what I would get. The pictures came out just as they appeared on the viewfinder: either completely dark or streaked with white! I wish I could insert a picture in this review to illustrate the problem. So, here I go again. I will have to contact Fuji and see what they can do.
underdog of cameras [Posted on 2007-05-02]
i'm pretty sure this camera isn't given enough chance and most people believe you need something super fancy to take better than good pictures and it really isn't the case. i did experience a lot of the same "frustrations" that others were complaining about and i'm not sure if its my semi-knowledge of camera use and photography that helped me smooth out the frustrations or the simple fact the camera truly holds a potential you sort of have to tinker with for awhile before its discovered. its a great little point n' shoot-esque camera that's done everything my regular slr's and digital slr's have done without a lot of the pains of technology (or old technology). i'm not a fan of the slow shutter speed when it comes to action shots and things of that nature but its macro does wonders and well practically so does everything else and after all the getting used to, its worked its way into my daily routines.
Good Starter Camera [Posted on 2007-07-20]
This camera is great. Very easy to learn. However, you will not want it to be the last digital camera you purchase, although it can be. The zoom is ok and is the only weak point.
Perfect camera for me! [Posted on 2007-11-10]
I would have given it 5 stars but I hate that the video has no sound and it eats up batteries so fast. I probably should have invested in some rechargeable batteries and would be better off.
Horrible Customer Service!!! [Posted on 2007-12-23]
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.
