Customer Reviews

Great Quality Great Value Great Pics
After much research and trepidation I bought this newly released camera. There were no real reviews available because it just became available in the US the end of March. I am replacing a Finepix A310 which for the price was a decent point and shoot but was damaged beyond repair in an accident.

For features and picture quality I believe the price is hard to beat. After experimenting for a week, I have found the photos to be excellent both in doors and out doors with various modes available such as portrait, landscape and even a night mode. The one thing that plagued other cameras in this class was underpowered flash..the flash is more than adequate for a camera of this size and I am extremely pleased with the results.

It is smaller but more solid than my previous finepix and very intuitive controls and miserly on battery usage while most others are simply battery hogs. It even does video with amazing good quality however the sound is monoraul and leaves something to be desired.

If you need a point and shoot with some manual adjustments available, good battery usage, compact and occasional video then this is the camera for you. Again..proof is in the photos themselves. Oh..this thing powers up ready to shoot amazingly quick...

Enjoy..you can't go wrong with this one..latest technology and usually can be found up to 30% off its list price.

Great Camera,= terrific pictures
This is my seventh Finepix..A205 A210 A330 A340 A345 and A350 in addition to Finepix s602. I am teaching Digital Photography to Seniors and I highly recommend the Fuji Products. Those that
complain either are not holding the camera steady or not making
sure that the focus is right in the center.. When I move up to the next model camera, I usually give the older model to my niece, nephew, or granddaughter. Many of my former students are
making great photos with various digital cameras because they
are: Holding the camera steady, pressing the shutter release
halfway so the camera focusses and sets the exposure. Then after
clicking the shutter, holding the camera steady for about a second. I even recommend using the self timer for still subjects
so there is no chance of blurring the picture

The Best of them ALL!
I bought this camera as an upgrade to a three-year old Finepix 2600Z that I noticed was slow compared to the newer ones. The pics were still excellent - so I figured I'd stay with Fugi. Since purchasing the A350, I've become increasingly interested in taking more professional "LOOKING" photos. So, I've tried the Nikon Coolpix 7600, the Cannon SD500, the new Cannon Power Shot S2 IS, the Cannon PS A10, and the Finepix F10. (Sending three of the above mentioned back). And, I keep coming back to this little no-nonsense, non fidley, point and shoot wonder. It is the easiest and the best of them all.

At first some pics were blurred, until I learned the secret of standing against something to brace myself, holding my breath as I shot the photo, and just using the focus feature like it says in the manual. And behold! Great pictures! I'm a big fan of natural light, and shoot most of my pictures without a flash, and try and fill the frame. That's what works for me anyway. Some people love to "set up" the shot, and that's fine - but I've learned that's not for me, I don't have time to fiddle - espicially when it's catching children in unaffected and natural states of being. I love spontaneous shots. And with this camera, those are within my reach.

It looks as nice as the "upper end" purse/pocket sized Cannons, (same size - but a tad thicker), it's much less complicated to use, and the price is unbelievably reasonable. Everyone should have one - even if it's just to have as a back up. You'll find yourself using it more than the one it's backing up. :)
