Advantages: Dead easy to use..........honestly! Disadvantages: I don't think there are any, I am way content with mine.
...research I settled on the Fujifilm Finepix A204, (which is just as well seeing as that this is what this op is about!) Now that I had decided what camera I wanted I set to find the best prices online. It came down to two places, Jessops and Comet. Now I am of the frame of mind that if you get good service from somewhere then it stands to reason that you will want to shop there again, which is precisely why I didn’t choose Comet. That is another story ... ...this camera with a free Fujifilm camera case, worth over £40! I printed all the details off and off we trotted to said camera shop the next day. I left the proud owner of the camera, a larger memory card than originally came with the camera (CH you would have been proud of me!!), rechargeable batteries and charger, small fabric camera case and the all important free Fujifilm hard case. At first the salesman argued with me saying that they didn’t ...

Advantages: easy to use Disadvantages: eats batteries, no case
Often while surfing the net, I occasionally come across the odd competition which if it doesn’t entail too much effort I’ll enter, not really expecting to win as usually I don’t. The other day I arrived home from shopping to find the postman had left me a small parcel. On opening the parcel, the first thing I came upon was a small piece of paper announcing that I’d won a competition, so I excitedly open the parcel and there inside was green box with ... ...words “Fuji film Finepix A204”. The box contained: -
1 Digital camera finepix A204.
1 Xd picture card.
2 AA rechargeable batteries and charger.
USB cable.
User guide.
Cd rom.: -
USB driver.
Finepix viewer.
Apple QuickTime 5.0.
Image mixer VCD for finepix.
Well as excited as I was my heart did sink just a little as I’m not very technical minded and it took me a while to get used to the camera I already had and now I had to get used to another ...

Advantages: Compact size, brilliant for first time buyers, good picture quality, very simple to operate. Disadvantages: Mains adapter not provided, the picture quality of short film setting isn't particularly great in electrical lighting.
I had been looking to buy a digital camera for a few months, and having looked through both Argos and Index catalogues and online, I came to the decision that this was the best one for me. At £200 from the Argos catalogue it really doesn't break the bank, and is an excellent little camera! The features this camera include:
-2.0 million Pixels
-3x optical zoom
-16 mb xd-Picture Card
-2.5x digital zoom
-Movie Mode facility (20 seconds, no sound)
... ...batteries supplied
I've used it for normal photos as well as for my photographic artwork, and it produces really excellent quality photos. The software provided makes it really simple to upload the photos onto the computer, although if you wish to manipulate them further than flipping and cropping, i recommend you use a seperate photo package. As for the operation of the camera, it is very simple and easy to use. The button on top has three settings:

Advantages: Allows you to see the photo just taken. Disadvantages: alot to read in manual
What I really like about digital camera's is the fact you dont need to have piles of photos lying all over the house as now you can download photos onto your home computer that allows you to edit and store on a disc or even use them as a screen saver. Or if you want some printed of for home frames you can print them off on special glossy or satin finish what ever size or as many as you want in your own pleasure but be warned that the paper for printing ... ...for 10 sheets of instant drying photo paper or you could even take the memory card from camera or the disc you have down loaded into a photo shop/booth and they will print them for you.
The camera itself well it is silver and it the size of a 135 camera the average camera size. With this camera comes a 16 MB, xD-Picture Card wich is in a clear plastic anti-static case. You also get 2 LR6 AA-size alkaline batteries. which is great to get you started. ...

When i opened the box for my Fuji S5800 camera about a month ago, I knew that I had made a good choice for my second camera. I still have my Pentax Optio S7 but I wanted a camera that would allow me much more creativity with my photos.

IMAGE QUALITY: It does have good points however. 7.2 Megapixels isn't bad for the price. The Optical Zoom is a slightly below-average 3x, with a respectable 4.8 Digital Zoom. Most features, however, are only standard - nothing unusual. This... more
