Will not work after a year
[ Posted: 2008-10-04 ]
This camera worked okay. Pictures were slightly blurred at times, especially when taking them inside. You have to put it on Auto instead of the people setting to get a good picture of people. Now, after less than a year later, when I go to take a picture, the camera shuts off right then and there. The lens doesn't even retract when it does this. Plus, it has new batteries, so that can't be the problem. Poor manufacturing and a complete waste of money. Pool out more money for a better camera than this one.
Great all-around camera that produces crisp, saturated photos

My daughter-in-law's raw Fuji photos make my more expensive Olympus 770UZ photos look dull until I run them through Paint Shop Pro...but then the 770's main advantages are a high power zoom and the capability of synchronizing a high power Professional flash unit, which creates brilliant photos. The Fuji wide angle can get in an entire room if you are looking for a house or taking party pictures. My Olympus cannot do that, but it can take a photo of an Eagle nesting on top of a cliff or the rapids on the Colorado River from the Grand Canyon Rim!
I gave this Fuji to my daughter-in-Law for Christmas with a 256 MB XD chip (then I gave her a 2 Gig XD flash memory card). She just wanted a "simple" camera. Next thing I know, she has learned all of the functions of this camera and has taken hundreds, if not thousands of very sharp, crisp, well contrasted, saturated, color balanced photos with great white balance to boot!
Great camera for the price!

I've had my Finepix E500 for a little while now, and I still love it! I like that its small enough to keep it in my purse and pull it out to take great pictures whenever I see an opportunity. I also like that it was so inexpensive. We had a budget of $150 for a new digital camera, and this one was the best by far for the price. Another plus is that it looks really sleek and attractive. All my friends say "oh I love your camera! It must have cost a fortune!"...but it didn't ;)
Marvelous!

I'm stunned by this tinny digital camera! So little and so many functions.... I recomend it.

You need to make sure to bring a pair of good battery when using it. Other than this, the camera is all right
