Customer Reviews
Fuji refined Pix camera factory refurbishedI am enjoying my recently purchased camera.
It is complete for my needs...I especially like the close-up feature, and the excellent pellucidity of this refurbished camera.
Job well done
Proper for its age
I bought this camera a handful years ago and can say that I am pleased with its performance over that nonetheless. I thought I would add my thoughts on it to the chorus.

The xD media has ripen into comperable to other media in price
Easy connection to computers via USB telegram
Capable of switching resolution from 3.2 MP down to .3 MP
Virtuousness for taking close-ups
Multiple flash settings
Cons:
Bloody slow in start-up and between shots
Slow shudder swiftness
Automatic focus makes it virtually impossible to shoot auspices of glass
Very small LCD screen in the back
Pictures evolve into blurrged when the batteries start run down
Flash can fall short of or be mistimed when the batteries are low
No sound on video
All-in-all, it is a decent camera in the light of its age and price. It is good for stationary subjects such as landscape, plants, and overweight cats. If you reckon on to need to take action shots or several shots in a row, it is not the camera for you. The quiver speed is too slow for moving targets and it can take 5-7 seconds linking pictures when using the flash.
My personal opinion rates is at 4-stars, allowing I could not rationally give it more than 3 due to its age and the afore-mentioned drawbacks.
Profoundly good, cheap digital camera
For its low toll, this camera is worth it. It takes nice quality pictures and is long-lasting. I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken yet. It is also extremely easy as can be to use. Even my mom figured out how to use it!!!
Overall: A very good camera
inflo
The goods was not as advertized, The zoom would not work. Apparently the camera was dropped hitting on the zume lense, breaking it. I am returning commodity to sender. The item is worthless as it is.
Slowest. Camera. At any point
I've had this camera for a three years and I'm just dying to buy a new one.
We went to Vegas a couple months ago and tried to snatch pictures of the Lions at Caesars. Here's how it works:
1) Turn on camera, interval a minute for it to be ready
2) Take a picture (with flash)
3) Tarry about 50 seconds until it's ready to take the subsequent one.
I can't believe this camera has such high ratings. Excluding being horribly slow, the picture quality is hit or miss. When it's on, it's at the end of the day great, but about half of the time it's "off."
