Customer Reviews
The most responsible digital camera I have ever used!My family uses this camera for people pictures, and for a while we used it for our business to take close-up thing pictures. We have had this camera for around 7 years now, and it has forever pulled through. It never took very good low moderate amusing pictures or night shots, but considering that we have hurt this camera (heat, wet, cold, dropping it, everything) and it in any case takes great pictures, I love it. The colors are always sumptuous and rarely washed out, and if you use the right setting, the detail is superb. Following so many years and so much abuse, two buttons (one is the shutter) father stopped working, and it needs to be retired. I can't find anything to refund it with! This camera has been so reliable, and the picture excellence has been very good overall, that even with all its faults (eating batteries, time huge and clunky, ect) I would buy it again in an instant.
Was not working...
The output did recieve power, but after buying a XD card not an SD card, we start it did not work. If it had worked it would have been a perfect for our lad who wanted his first camera.
The person we purchased from was ripping though. Shipping was very fast, and he had no problems processing our recrudescence. He even gave us a goodwill credit for our troubles.
Fuji A340
Data d fabric average pix taker, but dated. It fits a niche here. Is obstinate enough to take mild shocks, bumps.
A Honesty a possessions CAMERA
I Drink HAD THIS CAMERA FOR 4 YEARS. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH DIGITAL. THE PICTURES ARE Well done. I DID A FIRMWARE UPDATE SO I COULD USE 512 CARDS (THAT'S THE LIMIT) THAT'S To the ground 500 PICTURES. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A NIKON COOLPIX TO GET UPDATED, No matter what I WAS DISAPPOINTED AND NOTHING TURNED OUT GOOD. MY A340 IS SUPERIOR IN MY EYES. I AM NOT A Authoritative, BUT I HAVE HAD MORE COMPLIMENTS ON THE PICTURE QUALITY OF THE FINEPIX. I TOOK THE NIKON Stand behind FOR A FULL REFUND AND BOUGHT ANOTHER USED A340 Hardened FOR $10. FROM EBAY.
Exceptional Little Camera, BUT..........
That soft toggle switch on the back, which controls the zoom, touch and programming functions is the Fuji A340's Achille's heel. Store lost its ability to zoom up or down, thus robbing my camera of its functionality.
I was gifted to use the flash card until it was full -- my other glint cards had to be programmed or the contents deleted -- and my Fuji was now ineffectual of doing so.
Made me sad, mad and frustrated. I LOVE this little camera, and its proficiency to shoot high quality photos -- I took it near with me, and now it lies ingloriously inside a plastic baggie, waiting for the day when I can get it reapaired. I condign bought a Nikon D50 -- so my budget will not allow for any Fuji repairs at file.
I realize that this is by far, a Disposable World -- and whatever that breaks usually gets pitched, so whatever I effectiveness wish for this Fuji is probably not going to happen, but let me say it anyway -- I Longing Fuji would make a METAL toggle switch with Enduring inner components so I can get this camera up and running again with no worries back any further toggle switch woes...
I doubt that's thriving to happen however.
