PROS
- 4 megapixel photos.
- Long battery life.
- Easy to use, just read.
- Just 7 buttons all optios in menu...(like using windows)
- Great Photos and in a 128MB you get 133 pictures in 4 MP or 66 in 4 MP+fine
- Easy conection to the pc just conect(like usb key, you can use it like) , and fast transfer speed.
- Great Auto mode and Macro modes (pleace read the manual)

CONS
- Taking pictures at nigh is very hard because the LCD don`t show anything (but use the viewfinder, like 35 mm camera) and the working flash range is about 3 meters.
- Very soft case...
- Wend the handshake is detected is better no to take a picture, it will be moved.

I really love the camera, because is good poketsize and easy to use, just buy some memory 128 or 256 like me and you can get the camera everywere....i recomended for casual pictures....but not for profesional pictures (like calendar pictures or...)if you like it pay it ($800 Canon EOS)

I am used to the APS variety of point & shoots, and I miss the panoramic and zooming of the last one I had (Nikon). However the thing's zooming lens broke twice, so I decided to finally go digital.
I did not want to break the bank, and wanted to keep the price reasonable and still get a quality product. The whole outfit was under $215, so I think I did ok, but I am not 100% happy with the camera.
I agree with another reviewer about the plastic lens cover... What a pain to open & close repeatedly to get the camera going again! And it is flimsy, afraid I'll snap it off in a year or 2.
As far as pic quality, i think my aps did a better or comparable job. The zoom isn't nearly good enough, and the blurring from night and no flash and macro modes is annoying as heck... If you're not using a tripod, forget using these settings, which I think is riduculous.
On the other hand, for a beginner digital user, this camera is a good-enough point & shoot. "Good enough...". For another $100 or so, go for more zoom capability.
Other good points, charges quickly, Pictbridge no-PC printing. Other bad points, kind of bulky and heavy.

Pros: Great value, easy to use, takes great pictures indoors & out. Some reviewers seem disapointed they aren't automatically getting "professional" results, but I have a 35mm rig with a half-dozen lenses for when I want to shoot seriously - The A340 excels for what it is, which is a great point-and-shoot digital camera that is small enough to keep in your bag or jacket pocket at all times. I used to have an A303 that I loved until a friend dropped it - money was tight so I went out to pick up a cheap $99 digital camera and an SD card to get me by, but for a few bucks more I found the A340 bundled with the dock and rechargable battery. The A340 takes great pictures as I expected, plus I am able to use the memory cards I already had from my last camera. At first I thought I would never use the dock (I already have plenty of rechargable batteries and a picture card reader), but the dock also allows you to use the A340 as a webcam!

Cons: The included software is not the most intuitive I've ever used, save yourself some grief and pick up a compatible USB picture card reader so you can just drag and drop your pictures from the card - they are available at any decent electronics store for under $10. I'm not real crazy about the xD picture cards - they work well and are nice and compact, but only Fuji and Olympus products use them - it would be nice if the camera used SD or MMC cards so I could also use them in other devices (although, luckily most of my friends happened to choose a Fuji digital camera also, so we can swap cards if we need to, which is nice). As another reviewer pointed out the xD cards are slightly more expensive, but you can still pick up a 256MB card for around $30 if you shop around. Based upon my previous experience with the A303, I wish the Fuji cameras were a bit more "ruggedized" - I suggest buying a good case or pouch to secure your camera!

My husband and I kept debating and debating about whether to purchase a digital camera. We have a 35mm Canon EOS Rebel that takes gorgeous pictures. But, we knew if we got a digital camera, we'd end up using our wonderful camera a lot less. Fortunately, his dad killed our endless debate by purchasing this Fuji for us for Christmas.

I have to say, I like it a lot. There are some things that could be better, but for a 4 MP point-and-shoot, especially at this price, it's great. It's small enough to fit in a coat pocket (definitely not true of our big Canon), and takes very clear pictures. We did upgrade the xD card immediately, for a lot more memory. The flash, as another reviewer mentioned, really works without washing out the scene - as you view the picture before snapping, it looks way too dark, but once it's taken, it is wonderful.

The cons, though, are also there - though I don't know that they are any worse than any other digital camera. The amazon review mentions speed. I find that you do have to wait quite a while between photos if you use the flash - definitely longer than .62 seconds, anyway. This is kind of annoying - we have twin 2 year olds, and they don't stand still very long. And, this thing eats batteries. We don't have rechargeable ones, but will definitely be investing in those soon. In some ways, it's nice that it takes AA's - you can certainly buy them quickly most anywhere, rather than having to go home and charge it up - but you'd better have plenty around.

The 3X zoom just doesn't seem to be enough to me (probably spoiled by our digital camcorder, as well as the Canon), and it is very hard to manipulate quickly. The menus, as others have mentioned, are not terribly intuitive, and they could have added a couple of extra navigation buttons to make it more user-friendly.

However, overall, it's a good little camera. I was set up on the computer with it within a half hour (we don't have the cradle) and the Fuji software is nice, too. I'm sure using it a lot, which is a good sign!

I love this camera!
Mine was a Christmas present to me from my parents and my husband, even though I picked it out. There were several reasons that I chose this over the others I looked at...

1. The docking station. Buying this camera through amazon.com I was also able to get the docking station at the same time. The station came with all cables necessary to hook it to the computer as well as a pair of rechargeable batteries. One thing I consistently found upon looking at the reviews of all other digital cameras is that the batteries are depleted quickly. So far this has not been the case with my A340, it is always charged.

2. The optical zoom is great, I think it's even better than on my 35mm camera. It's smooth and doesn't distort like others I've seen. The digital zoom adds to it as well.

3. Quality is just great. Even when you turn down to 1M setting the photos are in a good, useable resolution and are just as clear as they are with the 4M or any in between.

4. This camera even takes great pictures in low light. My 35mm doesn't do that! The flash lights the photo well enough without whitewashing the scene.

5. Movie Mode - this mode is great. Of course, there is no audio, but what are you going to do? With higher quality, you can take up to 60 seconds at a time, but your typical memory card will let you take several videos. With the smaller quality you can take up to 240 seconds at the time. The only thing you have to worry about is shaking the camera.

6. Compact and lightweight. The size is just perfect, it is not heavy nor do I feel like I will break it just by holding it.

Overall, I am just really impressed with this camera!

SON RECEIVED AS A GRADUATION PRESENT. STOPPED WORKING AFTER 1 MONTH.I HAVE ANOTHER DIGITAL CAMERA 1MP HP3200 THAT WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH. SO MUCH FOR NEW QUALITY PRODUCTS. ALSO TRYING TO HAVE IT FIXED IS A NIGHTMARE. TO REGISTER THEY WANT A PURCHASE PRICE(IT WAS A GIFT!) OR THEY WANT THE RECEIPT(IT WAS A GIFT!). I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER FUJI CAMERA.

This is my first digital camera, I am satisfied with its capabilities, even though it doesn't have all the bells & whistles some other models have. For the price it is a good value
and I plan to get necessary expertise before purchasing an upgrade.

All the Fuji Finepix camera's are fantastic.
Iv'e had this one for over a year it takes better shots than my Nikon 90X. The SLRD Fuji's are way behind on technology but their point and shoot are spot on.

I have had my camera for 1.5 years. It's proven to be very reliable. I breed and keep siamese fighting fish and I need a camera to be able to capture detail of the fish through aquarium glass which are 6cm. It's been very reliable concidering the rough and tumble treatment it's had, including melting it slightly on a hallogen lightglobe!!!

The down side is there is a need to be patient and take multiple pictures before you end up with a good quality photo. It doesn't work well in the dark and doesn't handle motion pictures well.

However you definately get good value for basic photographs and realiability, it's a great, handy little camera to have.

Thank you , I was very satified with my camera , It is easy to work and the promptness of delivery made my day.I will continue to shop Amazon .

PLEASED WITH THE CAMERA, WORKS GREAT, AND THE PRICE WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

I got this camera as a gift. At first I was really happy to finally have a digital camera. Then I found the power mechanism to be inconvenient. Even if I put it in a case it can open by itself, which drowns the batteries. Also, when taking pictures at night or a dimly lit room, the picture comes out looking like "someone on acid" I don't like it at all. I've missed so many photo opportunities because of this fault. I am currently looking for a new camera with NIGHT vision being on the top of the list.

Overall, it's ok. Battery life is fine and it takes decent pics.

I found the fujifilm camera takes mediocre pictures. The flash always seemed too bright, which always made the subject too light and the background too dark. Outside was the only time I got a good picture and that was rare. Inside, without the flash, you get a blurry picture. I honestly got better pictures from a disposable camera than with this digital camera.

It might've just been my luck, but I also lost 5 memory cards to this camera. Every once in awhile, I'd turn my camera on and the screen would read "card error". All my pictures were erased and the card became useless.

I have used this camera for about 2 years, and have taken a lot of wonderful pictures with it, although I agree with the negative reviews (the quality is noticeably worse at 3X zoom, slow shutter speed, almost impossible to take a decent picture in dark places, etc).

However, I believe the BIGGEST problem this camera has (and it took my wife and I a while to figure out wtf was going on) is the fact that it destroys the XD card when one erases all the pictures on it! It happened to me on several occasions when I was abroad in some beautiful places, and had the cards full with pictures from previous trips; I erased all the pictures using the "ERASE ALL" option in the menu, and promptly received the "CARD ERROR" message after trying to take a new picture.

I am giving this camera 2 stars instead of 1 only because somehow I managed to get a lot of wonderful pictures (though I spent a lot of money on cards); I am currently shopping for a new camera, and Fuji is not on my list.

I bought this camera after my old camera broke down. I really didn't know what I wanted with my new camera but, I did know I wanted a digital and I wanted to be able to view the pic on both T.V. and PC. So I got this one & It's a good camera. Hold alot of pic and pics come out good. After playin with it, I now know that I wish it also have editing features. so I can edit the pics without having to download the pic on the PC first. I would be able to edit pic from the camera and go get then printed. Other than that-this camera is very good.

Good camera for taking eBay auction pics

Decent picture quality / decent battery life / but some gripes are the cradle ( if included ) stopped recharging the battery, you can't just mainline the power cord to the camera to recharge the battery, you have to use the cradle.

The included 16MB card is good for about 8 high res shots, you definitely need to upgrade the card to a 512MB or better, BUT YOU CAN STILL ONLY SHOOT 60 SECONDS OF VIDEO at a time no matter how big the card is. This was disappointing since we expected to be able to shoot continuous video until the card is full

The anti red eye is hardly that, you'll still get red eyes when the camera triple flashes during a shot.

The menus are easy to figure out, the power switch is quite simple, just open the lens cap and lens zooms open.

Macro pics are decent, we use this camera to take close up shots for our eBay auctions and our sales have improved since.

I didn't have the problems that most people had with bad pictures. For the most part, my pictures came out surprisingly good. The only times they didn't was in low light situations and that's the norm for digital cameras. My problem was an on going problem with the batteries and the recharging. I have always had the low battery sign when I first use the A340. I'm sure it's in the Camera itself because new batteries don't even work. I looked at the battery area and I see signs of corrosion, but I use this camera about 2 times a month and I check the batteries religiously. I don't know what the problem is but I have noticed that I'm not the only one that has this problem. I have since bought a new Camera... Much better.

I had one of these camera's and got it soaked fishing on a rainy day and ruined it. I liked the first one so since I had the docking station and memory cards already it was an easy decision at the price to buy another. It takes good pictures, is easy to operate, and downloads quick and easy. The only thing I can say I didn't care for is the time it takes to recycle to take another picture. Not terribly long but not rapid fire.

This camera is good not like i imagine, but the pictures are very good resolutions.
The case and functionality to open and close, is so back, now day i think will be more modern.
