Fujifilm FinePix A900

Bought this camera four months ago and pictures in good light are fine, but last week I made 212 pictures at a party in a hotel and the result was very disappointing. 140 pictures were so bad that I deleted them directly and the rest of the images are still too grainy and soft for my standards, even after applying some adjustments like 15% of unsharp mask. I owned about 5 compact cameras and 3 DSLR’s, so I do have some experience and I tried several settings with the Fuji on the party, but ...

expecting much more out of this, because for 159 dollars there were better choices but after having their six megapixel cameras, I figured this could only be better. Wrong.

I must confess, this camera turned out better than I expected and I feels is certainly worth more than I paid. The 1/1.6" super CCD is 56% larger than the 1/2.5" of my previous camera (and larger CCD is supposedly better) certainly contributes the the excellent images this camera produces. The TTL 256-zones metering vs center weighted (as found in many if not most point-and-shoot cameras) is certainly an advanced feature - my film SLR has something very similar and both work amazingly well. ...
