Epinions Fuji FinePix A500 Digital Camera Great!

by  skitz4748,  Jan 15, 2007
Pros: Small size, macro feature, simple to work.
Cons: Don't know of any.
Review: This camera has a small format to it. It is really easy to take anywhere. People in some of these reviews say fuzzy pictures, but I don't understand why. It may be they don't understand the two-step button. The picture taking button steps half way to ...

Epinions Fujifilm FinePix A500: A nice entry level digital camera

by  ra64,  Mar 26, 2006
Pros: Low price, good autofocus, decent picture quality
Cons: Small LCD, controls could be improved
The Bottom Line: A decent camera at a reasonable price that offers more then what most casual users are looking for.
Review: I bought the Fujifilm FinePix A500 because it was the best deal I could get at the time among entry level digital cameras, such as the Olympus FE130, Nikon L3 and Sony S600. I’ve only had the camera for a few days and have taken a couple dozen ...

Epinions Good Buy-No Disappointment !

by  oberfeldwebel,  Jul 15, 2007
Pros: Takes very good picture for reasonably inexpensive camera. Buyer will not be disappointed.
Cons: Uses up batteries quickly. Use only QUALITY re-chargeble batteries. Cheap batteries simply do not last.
Review: The A-500 has good features and settings. To get best quality pictures use the features, read directions how to apply features if you are a novice user, ie., pictures of moving objects,sports action, close ups etc. I have taken amazing pictures of nature ...

Epinions Good camera

by  mpowell78,  Mar 12, 2007
Pros: Light-weight, easy focus, relatively inexpensive
Cons: batteries, slow operation
Review: I bought this camera to replace a Kodak camera that kept breaking. My primary reason for choosing this camera was price. It was the most affordable at the time I purchased it. Generally speaking, I like the camera. I mostly use it to take pictures of my ...

Epinions You Get What You Pay For - Fuji FinePix A500 Digital Camera

by  jps246,  Oct 4, 2006
Pros: Relatively inexpensive, Small size and weight, Easy controls, Simple navigation
Cons: Poor focusing and optical systems lead to blurry and out-of-focus photos
The Bottom Line: If you can work around the poor auto-focus, this is a decent camera to carry with you for candid shots
Review: If you want a small, inexpensive, 5.1 mega-pixel digital camera and you don’t mind sacrificing a bit on sharpness and focus, then you probably will enjoy the Fuji FinePix A500. At its most basic, the FinePix A500 is a small, easily carried, 5.1 ...

Epinions A decent camera for some; but definitely not for others

by  mrspink,  Jun 3, 2008
Pros: Excellent image quality! The Fujinon glass lens and CCD image chip take very nice pictures.
Cons: With this camera good pictures take time. Very slow to "write" the images to storage
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for very good image quality in this price range the Fuji delivers. However speed; ease of use and overall value are surpassed by other manufacturers
Review: On the surface; there is much to like about this camera. - 5.1 million pixels - PictBridge Enabled - 3x Optical Zoom - 5.2x Digital Zoom - 1.8" LCD Screen Size - Selectable sensitivity up to ISO 400 - 2x AA-size alkaline (included) - ...

Epinions Fuji A500 - A cheap buy

by  eiapoce,  Jan 30, 2007
Pros: Cheap - Small - AA Batteries
Cons: Bad picture quality - XD Card - Slow operations
The Bottom Line: Cheap camera good for casual shots. I suggest it as a disposable one or in case you have a SLR waiting somewhere in the house for serious photos.
Review: This is a compact digital camera from Fuji featuring the dreaded infamous Fuji SuperCCD. A brief intro on the inner workings of the sensor are needed. In order to reduce prices on cameras the manufacturers are trying to 1) Reduce sensor size to ...

Epinions Lean in quality light in reputation

by  lkm111,  Dec 8, 2006
Pros: clean, sleek aesthetics very attractively priced
Cons: button access and functionality picture quality
The Bottom Line: I don't recommend this camera. The camera is plagued with all the errors replete in late model Fuji's in that class.
Review: The Fuji 5.1 faced a hefty group of excellent cameras in its class in late 05 and early 06. Aesthetically they had designed it with the sturdy block look with very good retracting lens after shots. It had a sheer silver almost brushed stainless steel ...
