Great idea a2rob
I am a...

6900 owner presently living in Armagh, Northern Ireland home of Saint’s and scholar’s (of which I am neither) and the Ecclesiastical Capitol of Ireland. Bit of a mongrel I am. Half Irish/half English a most ungodly mix

I am using my 6900 to record archeological sites all over Ireland (in between the rain).

a2rob,

Jefferson is in east Texas, almost to Shreveport, LA. Should be some good historic homes there to photograph.

I'm from a small town abot 50 km north of Milan - Italy!

FinePix 6900 is my first digital camera and I'm very satisfied!

I'm preparing a small site to show you some pictures of my town.

Cheers,
Ema

What a great idea. It is such fun seeing the diverse places 4900/6900 owners are from. 86 Replies! That must be a forum record.

Yes 86 replies and we only need 69 to fill the 69er's page. Hopefully everyone will at least send a picture of something, their pet will do if they are shy!

Hello from the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. I've had my 6900 about a month and have enjoyed honing my skills with this fine camera. I shot with a Nikon F3 for many years, miss its view finder and snap of the mirror when I take a shot but am getting used to the EVF as time goes by.

To go along with Tzen de's resent message about how long people have been in the forum, I thought I would give this one a bump up in the forum. Even with the shortage of new cameras on the market, I'm sure we have a few new 6900/4900 owners out there. Anyone care to let us know where you are in this world. A world that's getting smaller every day.

I'm a soon-to-be-6900'er - mine's on order as we speak and should arrive next week. And to keep the reocrds straight, and the reply-length record going, I'm from El Cerrito, Ca, about 15 miles (and often 1 hr, given the area's traffic) due east of San Francisco.

Hi All!:

I've been a reader of this forum since December 2000, and bought my 4900Z in early January 2001. Here in San Diego, California my wife and I've taken 2,046 pictrures with the 4900 since Janaury, and have been very happy with all of them (only about 20 bad exposures or focus errors). Those are really good percentages, and its because I read a lot on digital cameras and how to use them before I got my 4900. My friend at work got a 6900Z and he's had problems with some low light conditions, and his files aren't really any bettter than mine at 8.5 x 11 inch enlargements. In contrast, my father in law's Kodak 4800 takes 1 bad one for every 2 good ones!!!

After seeing my results, three friends have bought 4900Z's or 6900Z's and all are happy with them.

Hi Rob

I bought my 6900 in Hong Kong on 8 September 2001 after visiting this Forum. I broke my Olympus 2000Z in Auckland after 2 years of usage and this is a replacement.

I am very happy with 6900, love the great number of controls available by the small buttons on the camera body as against the menus system in my old Olympus. Best of all it was cheaper than the Olympus. I paid USD1100 for my Olympus 2000Z in Chicago in August 1999. And I got my Fuji 6900 for USD 630, almost half the price and doubble the features. Of course, there is a 2 years' gap.

I read so many of you talking about hot pixels problems - I found that this is easiy corrected by a program called Mediachance, available as freeware. I got this through one of the threads in this Forum too.

Thanks to all those kind souls in this Forum giving me numerous free advices indirectly.

By the way I am residing in Shanghai, China.

Regards

Rod
