Need new one

Lost the lost the old one on holiday, so it was a new one again and as i like Fuji it was Fuji 2GB xd picture card for me. Order last week and got it with in two days welldone very quick

Great price, loads of memory

Excellent value and works perfectly. I've been using it in my new camera: fujifilm s8000fd. It will store approx 980 photos (at 8M megapix) or 35 mins of video.

No problems!

Unlike some of the reviews below I've not had a problem with my card at all. It works a treat, and hasn't been a problem with my Fuji F31FD. Fast delivery and no issues to report whatsoever.

good camera

This camera ia very cute, easy to use. Did not need to read the manual to figure it out. It takes very good shot although like some other reviews have said it sometimes looks a little grainy on screen but when you put your pictures on the computer it is fine.

Excellent Value for Money

I have had a FujiFilm F610 for the last few years and have been happy with it but it is starting to look a bit dated and wanted a new one for Christmas. Excellent price for the F50 on Amazon! I have used it a lot since christmas and am really impressed with the quality of the pictures, especially in low light. Much easier to navigate around all the functionality than I found on my previous Fuji camera, which makes it even better for a relative novice like myself. Would recommend to anyone.

S9600

I am a novice photographer and bought this camera after reading the reviews about it on this site. I am more than pleased with it. It takes much better photos than my compact digital camera and it is easy to use.

I followed the advice of one of the reviewers and also bought the following items:

* Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini Case For SLR & Short Zoom - Black (a perfect fit for the camera and an excellent quality bag)
* Canon F58UV UV 58mm Filter(as protection for the lense as it is fixed and not replaceable)
* Sanyo Eneloop AA 8 Pack Batteries 2000mAh
* SANDISK ULTRA II CF 4GB CARD

The only comment I would make is that the Sandisk card came from a seller in Guernsey and took about 10 days to arrive - this meant that I could not use the camera which had arrived promptly in two days.

This camera is excellent value for money and I would recommend it to anyone - especially those like myself who want to be able to take better quality photos at a reasonable price.

Excellence from Fuji

I only got this on saturday as a replacement for my brilliant but ageing Konica Minolta Z2 (4Mp 10X Optical zoom). The camera is fantastic, it feels weighty, solid and balanced, the grip is ideal and everything is within easy reach. On saturday night I took over 350 photos with this and over 500 in total at a Blues festival, in comparison to the Z2 this is a different class, the sheer ability of that huge 18x lens is wonderful, the image stabilisation works like a charm. I found that the photos taken on 'auto' were perfectly acceptable and, after talking to a professional photographer, manual setting were easy to set and produced outstanding results. The photos I took were taken in a dark tent, pointing into the stage lighting and most of them came of far better than expected. I love this camera for is solid easy to use style and that monster of a lens (yes size does matter) if you don't want to pay over the odds for a lower spec SLR buy this, in fact buy this anyway! To those who marked down as they recieved a faulty one, grow up! it happens. And to the persone who complained of excessive noise at full zoom I haven't noticed any but I didn't use the digital zoom on top which will cause a degradation of picture quality. Great camera, my first from Fuji and I think I will be sticking with them.

Brilliant Camera

Received The Fugi S5800 Camera from Amazon and have been very impressed with it,was very pleased to see the owers manual was in English, and it also had a quick start sheet with just the basic instructions,the few photos I have taken so far have been of a lovely quality, this camera is ideal for those who like me wanted a better zoom than you get with the normal digital but did not want to get into a very expensive range,I have gone through the features and found them easy to follow, a super camera at a great price.

Cracking camera

I've only just used this camera for a day but I'm very impressed by the images. I'm strictly a point and shoot person, but I did fiddle with the settings and couldn't fault any pictures taken with this camera (Image stabilization is fantastic). I had done some research before purchasing and came across the"pink banding issue" several users had reported. But I found just as many reviews saying the camera was fab!.
I took loads of pictures in the sunlight, low light and sunset to try and re-create the banding issue, but it never appeared.
Possibly this only appears when the more advanced settings are changed, but for me its a cracking camera and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone, 10 / 10

more about the service!

I know this is supposed to be about the product but lots of reviewers are discussing delivery etc.

So - just to let you know - ordered over the weekend, arrived tuesday morning, well packed, original fuji card in packaging and works well in camera - though have to agree with others it is a little slower than the 1gb - but i only really noticed because I was looking!

Excellent service with good information to contact if any problems. Would recommend and use again.

A quality camera case in fine leather

I have just purchased this item and am delighted with it. It is very commodious (so do not buy it if you want a dinky handheld case!) and holds my Fujifilm S5800, 2 boxed sets of spare batteries, two SD cards, my Cybershot (in its case!!!) and there is still room for more!!! It has a shoulder strap and a belt loop and I consider it very secure since the top zips shut and then has a foldover flap which is secured by noisy Velcro! When on holiday it will double up as a small handbag to hold a small purse, lippy and a comb! Perfick!!! A quality product at a very reasonable price and certainly not limited to Fuji camera owners. Would be a good SLR camera bag too!

Superb Value for Money

This little camera is fantastic value.

The optical zoom is easy to use and extremely good. In general it is a very simple to get to grips with and take great shots. My needs were simple I wanted a camera that I could take good quality pictures yet I could not justify spending a fortune on a true SLR camera. This little fuji ticks all the boxes.

You can use it in automatic mode or of course in manual as well as stages in between. It is less bulky than the SLR camera. I thought that I could always get a snap using my phone camera but wanted something that I could take out specifically to take quality shots. What I can say it is the best camera I have owned, even comparing it to my Nikon F50 35mm which I adore. The S5700 is worth every penny.

In general you do not need to spend a fortune on the SD card I bought a 1GB and download all my images after each excursion. I have never come close to filling the memory and I use it on its maximum setting for detail. I seem to singing this little fuji's praises. Well it is good.

In terms of the software it comes with it is OK but I tend not to use. I merely mention this and it does not detract from the camera or its usage in the field or in your home studio e.g. your PC.

well worth it

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd Digital Camera - Black (10.0MP, 12x Optical Zoom) 2.7" LCD
I love this camera ,it is light easy to use and the picture quality is superb. It will take in any light even direct sunlight.
The only down side is the digital zoom which needs to be used on a tripod or from a steady position and the image quality as can be expected is not the best.
Overall I would highly recommend this camera I have been thrilled with the results.

Disappointing

The reason this camera is getting 3 stars is because the macro mode - when used PROPERLY can produce a very sharp crystal clear close up picture that will even pick up ALL the lines in your finger if you take a picture of your fingerprint.


Otherwise, this is a severe disappointment. I read all the reviews, it got some great ones, but after having used the product, I have to say I'm severly sorry I spent my money on this and wished I'd gotten perhaps an Olympus or something from the Fuji S series.

Although this is a 7 mega pixel camera, the quality of the photos barely shows as 1 megapixel. Every picture comes out extremely grainy even after changing every exposure setting, ISO setting, and flash setting.

The fact detection is finicky and doesn't work all the time.

Pictures taken on sunny afternoons come out blue - even again after changing for various outdoor settings.

If you like Photography and are looking for something that will get you some great pictures, try a different camera. This is sufficient as a"fun snapping" camera for some spur of the moment events and parties, but is nowhere near capable of the photography that something from the Fuji S series can provide.

life in a barrel

very very dissapointing. The lens perfomance at the wide angle setting gives results worse than a single use plastic lens - the complete inability to render a straight line as anything other than a barrel shape made me return this camera. I have used Fuji cameras for 20 years including the previous digital models - this is the worst. avoid it. Back to my Samsung NV20

A vital purchase...

I wish to earn back some respect for this product! Many reviews here down rate the XD card for the wrong reasons - I'm afraid that if it is not compatible with your camera it's your own fault, not the XD card's!!!

Now, as memory cards go, there is nothing wrong with the 512MB XD from Fuji. You will need to buy one, because most camera manufacturers only supply a useless 16MB card or similar. At 6 megapixels on my Fuji F10, I can get about 160 photos on. However, finding that 6MP is excessive, and shooting on 3MP, I can get closer to 400+ images on the card. It is a lot of money for something the size of a postage stamp, but the Amazon price is very good (honestly!). Card comes in a protective plastic case too.

Fuji finepix S5700/5800 case

The camera does fit in the case but it is not a practical design in use. The camera fits on its side with the lens uppermost which makes it awkward to get in and out. It also has no belt loop so you end up with 2 straps round your neck (the camera and the case). The case is OK if you are just using it to store the camera and use it infrequently, but if you are using the camera frequently (eg when you are on holiday) constantly taking the camera out of the case and putting it back, it is frustrating. After a couple of days I finished up buying a different case, slightly bigger where the camera sits upright. This was much much better.

Delighted with this little beauty

I wanted to replace my aging Exilim camera from 2003, and strangely although that camera was expensive at the time and had good write-ups, I was never particularly happy with it, especially when trying to do close-up shots. Before the Exilim, I had previously had a Fuji digital camera and remember I had been very happy with that, so I looked around at various reviews for the current Fuji compact cameras and came across this one.

I am delighted with this little beauty! I am no real photographer, preferring"point and shoot" simplicity, but this camera really does encourage you to go that one step further and makes it so easy to set up your own preferences for each shot. It even has a menu for different shot descriptions, such as Flower, Party, Underwater, Beach. Also panoramic or portrait settings. It is also very easy to adjust the ISO and picture sizing if you so require. It also has a very useful setting wherein you can ask it to take 2 shots one after the other - one with flash and one without - to see which you prefer. I haven't explored it fully yet, but so far I am very pleased with the quality of the photographs.

A cracking little camera at a great price!

Awesome compact, I take it everywhere!

This compact red offering from fuji is affordable and packs 7mega pixels and is full of features. It's slim sturdy body means it's easy to take where ever you go.

Great outside, but also brilliant in the dark because of it's high iso range. Focusing with compact like this at close macro range can be frustrating at times, but generally it's what you'd expect from a camera at this price.

This also has a great red eye removal feature and takes the popular SD card format, very cheap to buy. The built in battery is fantastic, and video is perfectly acceptable for a little digital snapper.
