I found on receiving my camera that I could not download the software on my computer. The model was not one of the choices to choose from that I bought. Therefore, I did'nt use my camera for quit sometime. When the portable printers came out for digital I bought one and started to use my camera. Unfortunately, the color is not what I expected and it seems to have to much red in it. Sometimes I also get red eye even when the eye reduction is on. I haven't used it outdoors yet. Maybe I will get better picture quality then. I would like to try to reach a customer service department so that maybe I could find out what I'm doing wrong, but I haven't had any luck in doing that either. I suggest if you get a digital camera don't wait a long time to use it

We've had this camera for almost three years now and take it everywhere. The features are easy to understand and use and the photo quality (at top resolution) is jim-dandy for taking pics of scenery and people.

For the price, this is an absolutely great camera.

Pros:
Great outdoor image quality
Battery life is pretty good (can fill 128mb smartdisk)
Image Transfer to PCs is extremely easy, no need for any software

Cons:
LCD is not high quality(this is a problem with all fuji cameras)
LCD practically shows nothing under low-light conditions
Red Eye is occasionally a problem

This camera was my first camera, and I still love it. It is comparable to new cameras in image quality.
My only problem with this camere is night shots, otherwise it is exellent.

I was a little leary of buying one of these because I was spoiled by having a 5Meg camera for 2 years, but I was pleasantly surprised. First of all, the battery life is much better than I had expected for an optical zoom camera. That alone made me very happy. The pictures are acceptable at 2 Megs and as long as you aren't looking for perfection, they are good enough for most applications. Finally, it is relatively small and light and easy to carry around.
Drawbacks, the software included isn't intuitive at all. I wasn't even sure if I had installed the correct program. The camera menus are also a little hard to understand unless you read the manual a couple of times.

I have had mine for about a year now and was originally impressed, but over time have become increasingly irritated. I agree with the other two posters about their complaints, which have become my biggest issues. The lens cover if moved ever so slightly will shut the camera down and by the time you move it back and take the shot, you've lost your picture. My second issue is also the time it takes between hitting the button and it actually snapping the shot. It seems forever and with toddlers they've done moved on and the picture is actually of them moving away. It seems that once you hit the button, it would snap that instance, but that is not the case. Also, by the time you turn the camera on, open the lens cover, wait for the lens to come out and snap, the subjects (in my case toddlers) are done. lol~

I have lost many, many good shots over the past year and the time issue is my biggest. I need more of a one shot camera that just snaps, no delays etc.
