Opinion: Nice size fits in pocket and works great
Opinion: Needed a camera with a relatively wide-angle lens while in Hawaii and picked up the E510 while there. The 28-91mm zoom is very nice for landscapes, and the fast startup time helps it to be relatively unobtrusive. However, pix quality at 5m isn't up to par with my older Oly D40 (4m), and not even close to my Oly 5050 (5m).
Size is nice, and I definitely prefer the rectangular shape to the more-square shape of the Oly D40. Makes it a lot easier to hold level & steady. Also nice that it takes standard AA NiMH batteries.
Problems: Images are fairly noisy, even at lowest (ISO 80) setting. "Sports" mode is supposed to set ISO to 200, but that doesn't seem to happen (the ISO stays at whatever you had previously set it for in a prior mode). No burst mode (but fortunately buffer clears pretty quickly so there isn't a long delay before it's ready for the next shot).
And xD memory cards... pricey! Shop around if you have time; I finally found a 512meg at Fry's for $89. In Hawaii, had to buy a 128meg card for $65 (it comes with a nearly-useless 16meg card).
Opinion: I did a lot of looking before I chose this camera. I narrowed it down to the Cannon A95, Casio Exilim 5.0 and this one. They were all comparable in price and features. I chose the Fuji because; (A) It has a large screen (B) It is very user friendly (my wife can use it too)
(C) It uses AA Batteries so I always have access to power.
We have taken about 500 shots with it under just about every situation that I would ever use it for. The daylight pictures are sharp in Auto mode. The auto focus is good indoors in low-light, the flash recharges quickly with fresh batteries, the overall battery life is incredible with 2300 mAh NiMH rechargable batteries.
Before we bought this, we were using a Nikon SLR 35mm N2020 which takes great film pictures, but weighs a ton. For special occasions, we still use it - but for those every day Kodak Moments, this little Fuji is a real gem.
For snapshots of the grand kids, candid holiday and vacation shots or catching the family dog acting the clown, this is a great value - especially for newcomers to digital photography - not to mention handing the camera to just about anybody so you can be in some shots too.
You really can't tell which camera is best for you by looking at them in a store. I bought mine at Staples because they have a 14 day no hassle return policy. No way am I taking mine back, though. I'm glad I got lucky the first time.
Problems: none
Opinion: It's good camera , it could be used from novice to semi pro , it have AF and Full Manual control and Exposure meter .
I like this camera , especially have a super macro shoot 2.6 cm . Only disadvantages : It doesn't have continuous shoot , and the resolution is limited to 5MPX
