Needs a lot of work

No real image stablization, lots of noise in iso 100-200 normal modes, just not close to a TZ5 or even a A-40 in overall operation.

Good, but not great

This is a good small point and shoot camera for the price. It is easy to use, has a very clear menu, and a very large LCD display. If you are looking for a 5X zoom with simple menus and an extra big display, this is a great deal. The downside with this camera is that the picture quality is not as good as more expensive cameras, and it does not do well in low light situations. The flash has an effective range of 9.8 feet. Beyond that range the picture will have poor focus or lots of digital noise. It says it can do 1600 and 3200 ISO, but the quality goes down in those situations. The manual says that even in 10 MB Fine mode (highest resolution) they don't recommend enlarging beyond 8 x 12 prints (which was the limitation of my last 3MP Olympus camera). It is nice and compact and easy to use. You will be happy with it as a snapshot camera, but you will want to spend more if you are a serious photographer. I have rated this a 5 because I think you get what you pay for. Even with its limitations, it is a great camera for the price.

Great in low light, poor outdoors

I got this camera in New York hoping that it would live up to fuji's reputaiton for compacts that perform well in low light.
It did indeed produce some excellent shots of the city.
Good performance at mid ISOs (400/800) meant it could take sharp prints. Also pretty decent indoors.

However in good light I was very dissapointed.
Firstly it always seemed to want to underexpose everything meaning I needed to use exposure compensation. People ended up as shadows.
Then there was the colours. Rather cold, as if I was there in winter rather than summer. Barrel distortion was poor (a friend said it was obvious) and purple fringing was often a problem.

I took the first half of holiday shots with a samsung L700, a very cheap budget camera and was interested in how much better the fuji's images would come out.
To my horror I prefered the samsungs which actually did well in most conditions.

I've since owned a sony P200 (in a different league) but as thats rather old and has a poor 2 inch screen, is a bit too bulky I've just got a canon SD1100 for the next big adventure! Seems pretty good but the fuji remains the best in low light.

camera is good but not the memory stick

I love the camera but it says it is compatible with Sandisk memory stick and it turns out that no it is not. let me know if I am misinformed on this but it seemed like only the special xd card worked for it.
otherwise everything is really great!

I love this camera!

I purchased this camera as an upgrade from a Casio 5MP digital camera. The difference is amazing. The detail and crispness of the pictures is stunning, I can't believe what I've been missing!

I did a lot of research before buying this camera, went to lots of camera shops and talked to lots of people "in the know". Everyone agreed Fuji is the leader in digital cameras.

I love the multiple picture options, there are 2 specialized setting options, which is great for quickly flipping between settings. I also love the 'N' setting - the camera takes 2 pictures a 1/2 second apart, one with flash and one without. It's great for when you're uncertain if you should use a flash or not - you get both pictures and can decide later! I also love that there is a rechargeable battery. I don't like that you have to remove the battery to charge it (versus having a stand charger) - but that isn't a huge deal as the battery lasts a looong time between charges.

I'm not thrilled with the fuji photo loading software, and instead just copy and paste directly from the camera onto my harddrive. I don't like that you can't open the pictures from the camera drive into Windows Picture Manager (or maybe you can, and I just don't know how). Either way, that's not enough to even deduct a 1/2 star from my 5-star review. That is just how great this camera is.

Fuji F40fd is easy to use.

I gave the camera to my wife for a pre-Christmas gift. She is in love with the camera. She is not mechanical and the camera is easy for her to use. The best gifts are the ones that are used!

Great Camera for the Price!!

At first I was very unhappy with this camera taking outdoor pictures due to graininess. After complaining to my friend about this he looked at the camera and changed the setting to higher megapixels!! This fixed the problem completely! So to those with problems with the camera go into settings and make sure you are using all your megapixels because the default on mine was only on 4!

I love the up close flower setting. I use it all the time! The details captured by this camera are absolutely amazing. I carry this camera in my purse everywhere I go. This camera also takes excellent pictures in dark settings just make sure you have it on forced flash. You cannot beat this camera for the price. Highly recommended!

Great Camera

I know little about photography and my husband knows even less. So I needed an easy to use camera that takes great pics. The color of my photos are excellent, and I love the 9MP for cropping into photos. Fuji Finepiz A900 is so easy to use and, little but not too little to hold onto. Small enough so that I can carry it in my purse. I love all of the automatic settings, at least 9 of them, if only it had a 10 pounds thinner mode, or 10 years younger mode ;)

Editorial Review :

The high resolution of 8 megapixels in the sleek flat body lets you crop and enlarge faces and parts of scenes and still enjoy smooth tones and images. You just frame the shot, and Face Detection does the work, simultaneously and accurately finding up to 10 faces for bright, clear results. No more shots spoiled by blur from camera shake or moving subjects! High sensitivity lets you use a fast shutter to freeze the action in sharp bright detail, while built-in CCD shift image stabilization automatically compensates for camera shake. Share beautiful images with Blog mode, Wireless Communication, and slideshow functions. Even more fun after you press the shutter!

Big disappointment!

I normally research a lot before making a purchase decision, but this time it wasn't really the case. I wasn't very satisfied with my two-year old Olympus because of the poor quality of low light shots, so I bought this one. My boyfriend had a Fuji and it was a great camera, so I decided to give this one a shot.

Big mistake!

To make it short, here are the few nice things about it:
- face identification feature
- auction mode (nice feature, at least in theory. If you want to change the format after shooting the first picture(s) you lose the ones you've already taken.)
- the possibility to use SD and XD memory cards

Now, this is the longer list, that of the problems I've had with this camera so far (in less than three months of usage, by the way):

- low light pictures are very bad unless you use a tripod
- it takes too long for the pictures to be saved, so you cannot take one picture short after the other, which can be frustrating when shooting pictures of animals, children or sport
- there's no way to turn off the option of having the picture shown after it's taken, so no way to save time before the next shot
- manual settings are very poor
- the menu is on the display, which seems to be a good idea at first, but it is not! That makes you lose a lot of reactivity. So if you see Tom Hanks (or whoever you might like) and want to make a movie instead of a picture, he'll be gone before you can change it from photo to video mode. A wheel does the job much faster!
- there are all kinds of error messages: "writing error", "lense error", "card reading error", etc. And I get them way too often!
- the software that came along with it could not be successfully installed on my computer and the camera won't be recognized as USB drive. As a result, I need to put the card in my old camera to be able to upload the pictures to my computer.
- the lense got dirty from the inside, don't ask me how! This means that I cannot clean it and everytime I take a picture with flash, the result is an image full of stains.

I've worked with three different digital cameras before this one that didn't have most of this one's flaws.

I can only recommend you to stay away from it!!!

Good For The Price

The lens being in the upper corner makes it real easy to get a finger in the picture. It takes some practice and it's something you have to be constantly aware of.

The slide cover is real easy to accidently open when you put it in your pocket or a camera case. You have to put it in in the direction that won't open the lens cover. I've run the battery down a couple times until I figured this out. Buy a spare battery.

Best Compact Camera for an Awesome Price

Pros: I have been on the hunt for a Compact, Cheap, Brand Worthy, and Simple Camera in the price range of $100-$150. This opens a huge market of different models, makers, and options. I decided that I wanted an Ultra Compact, simple, has the basic specs such as Image Stabilization, where I can easily point and shoot. Whether if I am at the park, a restaurant, party, or walking to my car. I was excited about the price for the Camera and the cheap replacement batteries you can find on the "bay". I also read almost all the professional reviews that popped up on Goggle search, around 13 reviews...YIKES and gave it Good-Great reviews. I also read COUNTLESS reviews on other Cameras that were in the same price range, but didn't fit all my needs. It came will a fully charged battery so I got to mess around with it right away. I love the menu settings where you can easily change settings from AUTO to Auction mode, the big, crisp 2.7" screen, slick and stylish design, and the PRICE!

Cons: none really. Thought my finger was going to interfere with the lens, but haven't had that problem. I can see it happen but the issue is very minimal.

My follow up and still LOVING it
Pros: For people comparing this to a DSLR, or higher end, your argument has no merit. You have to take into factor specs, price, brand, and etc. For the price it packs in alot, any other ultracompact, non extending lens, you will have to spend nearly double or triple the amount. This was my first purchase from newegg and I am impressed. I will definitely buy from here again. After messing around with it, I also got to play around with the Fuji z20fd and I made the right decision by getting this one, Fuji z100fd. For you get the hang of the menu functions, it is quite simple. It has neat features such as Natural Mode where it takes 2 pictures with no flash and one with flash. It also has e-auction mode where it takes 4 pictures, so when you auction off stuff it is very simple and squeezes 4 pics in 1. Battery life is great. Video mode picks up sound well, and easy function. Has a neat illuminating Z after every picture taken. 2GB holds about 1000 pictures at the highest resolution.

Cons: Video mode is great in low light conditions but i advise to take videos in a well lit surrounding. I wish they had a better software but it does the usual when you sync it to the computer. Out of all the other brands software, it is the same. I find it easier to just pop out the SD card and put it in my computer.

Other Thoughts: This is truly a great product for an awesome price. I think that if you are looking to get something similar for a child or teenager, I recommend getting the Fuji z20fd. It looks more 'stylish' to the youth. It offers 3x zoom while the z100fd offers 5x Zoom. the Fuji z20fd has great reviews with 4.7/5 ratings across major review sites.
