Brilliant if you're snap-happy!

It's a well known fact that digital cameras use battery power up quite quickly. And if you're as snap-happy as me, then you'll definately need one of these spare batteries, so that you don't run out of power.
This particular battery fares well in all aspects of use. It's reliable and durable, and won't give you many problems.
The size allows the manufacturers to keep camera sizes slim and small; making this a brilliant all round battery!
I'd recommend this to anyone who has a camera that's compatible with this battery; it's an essential accessory!

wrong case supplied

I recently bought another E900 camera and so needed another case. Bought this one through Camera Experts but when it arrived it was not the correct case. I only know this because I have another one. It seems that Camera Experts were trying to pass off a different case (which was a bit too small). Unfortunately they don't seem to have a clear returns policy & although I have returned the incorrect case, I await a refund of the cost of the case & return purchase.
I've now purchased a generic case form local camera shop & wish I'd done that weeks ago

Dont buy this for a Fuji S9500

This is a well made little case but the description of it being suitable for all Finepix cameras except the S1 is not true. My S9500 will fit into it but the bag then looks like a football with corners! It cant be offering the camera any protection whatsoever against knocks. I havent tried it, but I doubt that it would be suitable for my 6900 either. Back to square one and a visit to a camera shop with camera!

Fuji 16MB SmartMedia Card for FinePix 1400/2400/4900

Over priced and not worth the money - There are other makes of card available, which are a lot cheaper and just as reliable - like the Viking brand. With this card, you are paying for the name, nothing more.

Steer well clear of this item, save your money and get another brand.

Lens adapter and lenses for Finepix E550

This adapter lets you use filters or telephoto or wide angle lenses with the FinePix E550, but if you want a camera with interchangable lenses I would recommend spending a bit more on the s7000 or an SLR. To fit the adapter you first have to remove the adapter ring from the camera, which is a simple bayonet fitting. The adapter is easily lined up and clicks into place as you turn it. The lenses attach to the adapter with a 43mm screw thread. The TL Lens can only be used on full telephoto, and the WL Lens on full wide angle, so they don't act as variable zoom lenses. The WL obscures the optical viewfinder and flash. Neither lens can be used with filters so there is no way of protecting the lenses when in use with the lens cap off. You can use 49mm filters on the lens adapter in place of the lens but you also need a 43-49mm adapter ring. To change lenses you need to remove the lens with its adapter, unscrew the lens from the adapter, replace the adapter and then screw in the other lens. That's fine as long as you are indoors and have time to set up the shot. Outdoors you need to be a juggler or have an assistant! It's just doesn't have the speed and convenience of an SLR bayonet fitting. On the other hand it's a lot lighter to carry this complete system than the equivalent SLR.
