Mark, Connah's Quay

+ Excellent features and very easy to use. Superb image quality. I particularly like the preset environment settings. They make it very easy to use in different conditions.

- Build quality is a little "palstic" in feel.

Matthew, Thornhill

+ low light use and indoor shots without flash miles better than previous digital camera, nearing quality of old Nikon 35mm camera. Enjoying compact size, ease of transferring data to PC and use of different storage media.

- Not found anything to spoil things yet and it's had a good amount of use.

Trish, London Holburn

+ I really like the night photos. It seems to take better shots then my mates cannon when inside. I also light night shot where it takes 2 photos at once 1 flash and one without. It is a nice compact size and looks good slick and stylish. Can take SD and XD cards.
Very easy to use.

- The usb adapter is not generic so if you loose the cable you would have to order another. Where as my other fuji uses the generic on.

+ Small, light camera. Auto modes do what they are supposed to.

- Inferior high ISO performance compared to my much missed F31fd.

+ Bought for my mum who's a digital photography novice - she's found it really easy to use

- The size of the instruction manual - even though very easy to use and understandable - does look very daunting!

+ very small and takes great picyres even in low light

- when taking photos with one hand a bit difficiult knowing where to put your thumb. I don't think the quality is very good on the movie function - a bit grainy

Product Features

Optical Zoom Ratio	3
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
Screen Size in Inches	2.5
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Digital Zoom Ratio	8
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
Memory Card Slot	Yes
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Macro Mode	Yes
This mode allows close-up photograpy of small objects such as insects and flowers.
Video Recorder	Yes
Video recording functionality allows the capture of videos in mpeg or avi format which is great if you want to capture a whole scene, not just one moment.
Timer	Yes
Having a timer function is essential if you want to get into the shot yourself. Make sure your camera has this feature if you plan to go on holiday and capture photos of you and your friends or family having fun together.
Dimensions (mm)	95.7x59x23.3
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
Weight (g)	181
The weight of the product in grams.
Flash	Yes
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash. Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
Resolution (Pixels)	3504x2016
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
Shortest Shutter Speed	2000
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
Longest Shutter Speed	3"
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured. Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results. Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
Max. Aperture Lens 1	f2.8-5.1
Measured in f-stops the aperture of a lens dictates the maximum amount of light captured. If you want to do low light photography look for something with a wide aperture like f2.8. The widest aperture is given as a range as it changes when your lens is zoomed in.
USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
