Fujifilm FinePix A800

Basically a plastic F40FD which is easier to hold, runs off easier to get batteries for far less cash - same large 1:1.6" CCD, weaker 3X zoom lens (better for CA worse for long end sharpness) - there`s something funny happening in the A800, despite setting ISO100 very high shutter speeds are seen where an F30 would be a lot lower and there`s very obvious NR, almost as if there`s a safety shift for ISO (bumps it up behind the scenes to stop shake), the result is sometimes excellent and ...

This is such a great camera for the money! I paid $200 for a Cannon with the exact same features and photo quality. I absolutely could not believe what a deal this was. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! Problems: None!

Except Graininess that comes at big sizes, this camera is a good buy. I have been a user of Fujifilm cameras for around 7 years now and have used 3 different models. I have found the lenses, and the image capturing ability of FujiFilm cameras very superior. This camera is also a good one, however I've had better image capturing experiences with older models by Fujifilm) (Fuji FinePix F610). The prints are excellent, and so is the wallpaper on a 17" flat screen monitor, the picture does not ...

It is time to write how good this cheap camera is. I own the A800 for 4 months now and I am impressed for it's crystal clear image quality and its -almost- noiseless images. At ISO 100 it is the clear winner on comparison with my beloved Canon A640 and the other Fujis I bought for trying to find an even better image quality, namely the F50fd, the F40fd. Compared to the legendary F20 I bought recently, it is quite close to it, on image crispness and noise (the F20 is slightly better) but the ...

A "budget F31". Scores on photo quality. Basically it's an 8-megapixel equivalent of the Fujifilm F30/F31. It only goes to ISO 800 but the amount of fuzziness and artifacting is on par with the popular 6-megapixel models. Use as low an ISO as possible for best results. It's a slow camera however. Startup, zoom, focus are leisurely, and zooming in for image review is excruciating. Video is only QVGA, yesteryear's standard.

I have used fujifilm 2600Z before, that one give me a very good image quality, so I bought this one, thinking it should be about the same quality, but I am wrong, the image is very blur, can not compare to 2600Z , totally not acceptable, none of the picture are sharp. people must stand still, even a slight move , the image will blur, even the still image also not clear, I immediately returned the camera and changed a Canon A570 IS.

Great Image quality with a few quirks. Judging from the specifications, this one probably shares its sensor and lens with the F40fd, and it shows. Detail level is just great, purple fringing is low for the most part and the lens keeps corner softness quite well under control. Contrast and color saturation are nicely balanced and not overdone. The in-camera sharpening is also on the safe side, the pictures are tack sharp but still retain some room for later sharpening in software. High-ISO ...

Je viens d'acheter ce petit Fuji et c'est mon dixième numérique Je vous montre quelques épreuves sur le site a800.free.fr Ce que je peux dire c'est que pour ce prix c'est une REFERENCE ! Balance des blancs superbe quelque soit le mode Bonne dynamique ( jugement sur un écran cathodique ) Couleurs un peu riches ( certains aiment ) L'abération chromatique est très discrète ( bel effort M. Fuji sur ce point faible... ) Zoom numérique valable jusq'au 300 mm équivalent ! 400 iso très bon 800 ...

Yet another cheap camera. I had the opportunity to test the Fuji FinePix A800 for one day. GOOD: - runs on 2 AA Batteries - uses SD card - point and shoot NOT GOOD: - very slow auto focus (AF) even in bright light (no real snapshots possible) - awful AF motor sound - bulky design (in my opinion) - speaker on the bottom of the camera gets covered by thumb - dust on sensor (2 big spots!) - no spot AE metering - no center weighted AE metering - slow menu - slow review mode - very slow zooming ...
