Fuji F20

I'll skip to the chase - this is the best low light point and shoot camera you can buy. At any price - including 2008 model cameras. I hardly use the flash - even indoors and even at night. Just hold the camera steady and go. Natural lighting in photo's always looks better than stark bluish flash. If I do use the flash its just for fill.
The video feature is a nice touch - DVD quality in sharpness, but I use it sparingly as its mostly a novelty even though it makes buying a full fledged camcorder irrelevant.
The only downside to the camera is the xD card which has slowish PC transfers, compared to SD anyway, although writing to the card itself when taking pictures is plenty fast. I use a 1gb card and its tricky to fill with images, but video eats up room fast.
Still, if the purpose of this camera is quick shots in anything other than bright light, you simply can't buy a better one - yet.

Very Nice For The Price

I have had this camera for about a year and it is my 'Carry With Me All The TIme' camera when I don't want to take one of my 2 dSLRs.

The camera is a good value for the original price ($150 I think it was) and would be a steal at a used price under $100.

The ISO performance is really good up to 400, decent at 800 and useable at 1600. The default colors are a little drab out of the camera but with a little tweaking to white balance settings or using the FujiChrome setting in some cases (or in post processing, of course) they can be made better.

This is a basic point and shoot, though, don't expect manual control or a bunch of options to fiddle with.

It is metal and feels pretty solid. Nice size and operation. If you are a real photo buff, it probably wouldn't satisfy as your only camera but would make a nice compact...especially for dSLR users who are used to being able to stray from ISO 100 or 200 and not experience a lot of noise.

Exceptional Value and Quality

The only regret I have is for Fuji who stopped carrying the Super-CCDs in those award-winning cameras, namely the F10 through F30.

Not so speedy delivery

This camera is awesome and does exactly what the write up says it will do. The pictures are fantastic and I don't miss a kid shot. I love it. I was however, disappointed in the shipping. I paid for expitited shipping and it was not here on time.

The absolute WORST customer service!!!

The camera is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. Fuji has the worst customer service I have ever delt with. They pass you from one person to another and do everything they can not to help you. Be prepared to deal with the worst customer service in the business. I really hope this helps you.

Camera fine but beware

The camera itself if fine but please beware. They show the product weight at 20lbs meaning you will be charged over $40 to ship when the box it arrived in shows 3 lbs.

That said, I really like the camera, it is going to take a while to get through all the features but seems to be far superior to the standard point and clicks I have been using.

good transition from SLR film camera.

As an owner of a Pentax K-1000, I really like this Fuji S5100. Its simple to use, and the prints come out very nice. I like the feel of this camera because it feels like my SLR. I find the little pocket digitals no different that the old Kodak pocket camera. I like the S5100 for its options and ease of use.

Congratulations!

Perfect Camera for both semi-pros and semi-travelers

I love the size, features and cost of this camera. It make it so much easier for me to enjoy taking pictures and knowing that it is helping me get the correct focus and obtaining pictures I am shooting for one reason and seeing other reasons I would have taken the same shot had I seen it originally.

Great price!

Nice.. Very Nice..

I love this camera so much, I purchased it three times.
It has great zoom, nice clear pics on 4MB selection, nice video too. It comes with a 16MB card, which, now that the hi def pics arent 2MB each (about 800k), you can fit more than 8. I purchased a 1 GB card that can hold several hundred pics, as well as decent, good quality video. It comes with FinePix software which allows you to make a Video CD, DVD, etc.. which is nice for special occassions. I purchased a USB XD reader with this to take the card out, and connect directly into my laptop, rather than physically connecting the camera to the laptop. The downside is the long startup time, and its hunger for batteries. Use Energize Lithum batteries. They last at least 50 times longer than regular batteries. Long distance inside pics with ok or dark light dont come out very well, unless you set it for nightpics, and have a tripod. The manual settings are good if you know what they mean. I like the shutter delay while photographing fireworks with a tripod.

Super Compact, good image quality, some limitations involved..

The Finepix Z5 is an excellent super-compact point-and-shoot digital, with, of course, some serious limitations. I got it mostly because I wanted an inconspicuous (no extending lens-also equals more longevity) candid camera I could carry in my pocket. It works well for that, although sometimes the cover slides open in my pocket..no matter, go into the Setup and make sure it shuts itself OFF after 2 minutes!
The image quality is very good for such a small sensor, even up to ISO 800, and there's also an ISO 1600 under the F button, but that's pretty much "emergency use only". There aren't a lot of manual settings for this little camera either, but if you meter around the highlights and use a -1/3 to -2/3 exposure compensation setting you can do well in most lighting situations. There's also the nice Fujifilm "Natural and Flash" setting that let's you see flash and non-flash photos side by side, and the Chrome setting for more vivid colors. The flash has limited range, but does OK within that range-I don't use flash unless I have to anyway. I do miss having an optical viewfinder, as some of the ultracompact Sonys have, but I wasn't willing to pay twice as much for a Sony. All in all, this is a good and super-portable little camera.

Great pictures from an easy to carry camera

The photos I've taken with this camera are outstanding - crystal clear. And I'm NOT that great a photographer. I keep the camera in an inside pocket of my purse - it takes up virtually no room. My only complaint would be that I forget how certain things work between uses - it could be more menu-user friendly. overall - i'm thrilled with this camera.

Pretty Camera, but HORRIBLE Photo Quality!!!

I bought this camera thinking it would be the perfect little thing to carry around.... boy oh boy was I wrong. Now unless it was a manufaturer's defect, this camera was a little piece of junk! Complicated with horrible grainy, blurry photos. I would not recommend this camera to anyone looking for a decent yet simple point and shoot camera!

Great little camera.

I am by no means a photographer. I use my camera for primarly one reason: to take pictures of my kids. This camera is great. It's user-friendly and the software that comes with it is as well. Everything is easy with this camera - not to mention I love the color!

Good camera. Got it for my daughter. No viewfinder just the digital screen and lens. 6.3 megapixel with 3X optical zoom and pretty good resolution and color for under $100 refurbished. I rarely like to buy refurbished goods but I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the cameras held up. My daughter is looking forward to using the camera for the holidays coming up. She took some nice pictures on halloween.

Love this Camera!

I have a 35 mm Nikon and love the quality of the pics. So, I was skeptical to purchase a digital camera and be dissapointed by the quality of the pictures compared to the 35mm.

I was not dissappointed. This camera is easy to throw in the glove compartment/jacket pocket, etc. The quality of the pictures is great. Dowload to the software, is fast and easy (I use various softwares) and print at home.

I have enlarged pictures to a 8x10 and had no pixelated pics.

The colors are sharp and the Super ccd has a lot to do with it, the mega pixels does not determine the quality of the picture.

I use rechargeable batteries and always carry a charged spare. It does eat up the batteries quickly, but with rechargeables around, it is not a problem.

I shoot a lot of pictures and this has been extremely easy to use and download. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the battery issue, but I could give it 5 because even and 8 yr old could use it.

The learning curve is intuitive is you don't want to use the manual.
Firmware upgrade found easily on Fuji's website.

I love this Camera!!!

I can't say enough good things about this camera!!! I had a Fujifilm finepix 2650, but on the 28th of May, the last day of my vacation I dropped it taking what was going to be the last picture before we headed home, after that I couldn't get the lens to focus, so the hunt was on for a new one, I knew I wanted a Fuji because I really liked my 2650, but I couldn't find that model; except one's that were refurbished and I didn't want to go that route. I looked at this camera and it had everything I was looking for and more. I'm very happy with my purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one or maybe two, especially from this seller, excellent service and fast delivery. It takes beautiful pictures, it's very easy to navigate, and I love the fact that there's sound on the video clips, that's something the 2650 did not have. I haven't been able to put this thing down. Thank you Amazon and buyers_store excellent service as always. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is in the market for a new camera.

Good camera.......for one year only

This camera was everything I could ask for. Great color, quality, and all the pictures could be blown up easily with clear resolution. Then, after about a year,it started flashing "ZOOM ERROR" and won't take pictures anymore. Since this camera is only backed by a one year warrenty, I'm going to have to pay an extra $60 to get it fixed. I am sick of products being made to not last. I don't recommend this product.

Editorial Review :

The new FinePix E510 Zoom is an easy to use 5 million pixel camera featuring a newly designed Fujinon 3.2x optical zoom lens with a 28 - 90mm equivalent focal range. The 28mm setting fits far more into the picture than everyday digital cameras - no more chopped-off edges!The FinePix E510 Zoom features a wide range of exposure control, from fully auto to fully manual with all the combinations in between. An assortment of flash modes, white balance settings and macro mode add to an already impressive list of features. A 2 - inch screen means that all of these settings can be viewed easily while framing and composing your images.The ergonomic grip and durable chassis of the FinePix E510 Zoom is designed with the photographer in mind who may find smaller 'lifestyle' cameras too difficult to handle. The E510 Zoom also adds PictBridge functionality the industry standard for direct printing without the need for a PC or Mac.

Overall Excellent .... but look...

I thought from the description that the camera's image in the built in display could be better (sometimes is too dark).
Takes great pictures and the option of adding extra lenses is great.
Its very easy to use and the auto photo shoot does everything you need.


Overall rating is excellent.

Reliable camera that takes great pictures but slow and pieces tend to fall off

We've had this camera for 3 years now. I use it for pictures of our kids and have been very satisified with picture quality.
PROS
1. Great clarity of pictures - have made several 8x10 prints without any blurring or fuzziness
2. When you use lithium batteries the camera does eat up batteries as much as my friend's cameras do with the same batteries
3. I've had this camera for 3 years and it still works great

CONS
1. Very slow - even if you turn off the image display. The flash takes forever to reset itself making it difficult to click several pictures in a row
2. The videos taken on this camera are almost always too dark to view. This can be corrected with the software that comes with the camera, but then they are blurry
3. A small round piece continually falls off the lens area of the camera. It has done this since we got it practically. It replaces easily and doesn't change how well the camera functions.

Great Camera

This has been a great camera. I've been using this camera to learn more about photography. It has manual controls for apeture, shutter speed and ISO settings. My only complaint is the XD picture card. They tend to be more expensive than the other memory cards on the market. [..]

Rating :

Cheaply made; there are better alternatives

I was a bit wary in trying out this camera because it was so flimsy, but I thought for a second, everyday kind of camera, it would be adequate. Nevertheless, I kept worrying some part would get loose or fall off. I should have listened to my intuition Sure enough, the hinge on the built in flash just stopped flipping after 5 minutes. You can do better elsewhere.

High End Performance at a Reasonable Price

I purchased this Finepix camera as a refurbished item for my nephew to replace a crappy vivitar he had. I was able to find it for around $55 + shipping (compared to $225 new). Once I received it I opened it because I was unsure about the quality of the camera and the condition since it was a refurb. It had some small scratches but still looked pretty sharp. Simple colors, small but reasonable size, and easy to use accessories were the hallmarks of the E510.

I turned it on and played with it for awhile. The camera has as many features as most high-end 35mm units. It takes full video with sound. The photos are stunningly clear and consistent. The pictures can be set a 5Mpixel or several lower settings to conserve memory. It has more features than I can or am willing to describe here. The real downside is the xD memory card, they're teeny tiny small and more expensive than other flash memory. If you are looking for a consistent, FAIRLY simple (if you've used 35mm cameras before this is no problem), and reasonably priced camera, you've found it. Even closer to the brand new price of $225 I would consider buying this camera. My nephew loved the software cd that came with it. The included software didn't need to be installed for Windows XP (plug and play). He described the photo management software as a very basic version of photoshop. All in all this is a fully functioning digital camera for a great price.
