FujiFilm FinePix 2650 (FinePix A204)

This Fuji camera had "focus error" problem six weeks after purchase. Before the problem occurred, I had been pleased with the ease of use and quality of images. The settings are accessible through menus visible on the LCD screen. This took a little getting used to, but I was eventually able to become quite adapt at making changes quickly (different flash modes, timer, etc.) Problems: The "focus error" problem. The lens would not retract. The camera would not take a photo. I tried the tips ...

This is my first digi-cam. I was shopping in $200 (US) / 2MP category. Overall I'm satisfied. I have not printed anything, but for the screen the camera is more than enough. Quality is good.

Two sets of alkaline battries lasted 1 day = 75 images, 1 x 45-second movie, ~2 hours of standby, mostly using viewfinder. Menus are ...

This is my first digital camera and have used it for about 2 months. In general I like it but it does have some short-comings.

When indoors with longer distance shots, sporting events and pool shots, it gives what I would consider very poor results. The camera would at best ...

I thought about buying a FinePix A203, but I bought a 204 model at last... I think that it is good cam for a novice user, althought I think that menu use is a little confusing... You shoot - you'll get nice picture if you take it right, and it is good. So, if you are looking some "near budget" cam it is might be a good choice for you. Problems: Not something critical...

Thinks I like about it: Picture Quality: I was pleasantly surprised how much detail I was getting with this camera compared to my old HP Photosmart 315. Battery Life: I can get about 2 days of frequent use out it on rechargables, using all features and 50/50 optical/lcd view finder. Portability: This camera is very light. It only takes two AA size batteries, which help keep the weight low. Speed: This camera is quick to focus and complete a shot once it has been turned on. This was the main ...
