Summary: Fuji #3
Comment: This is the third Fuji camera that I have purchased. The others being the FujiFinepix 7000S and the Fuji A340. These cameras were purchased as back up to my Nikon pro cameras. The reasons for purchasing this camera was its large and bright 2.7 in screen which replaces 1.8in screeen on my other cameras, ease of operation, portability and lastly wide selection of shooting modes along with 8.2 mega pixelimage quality. Dual compatible slot is not too shabby either. Although image stabilization is limited for the price it can't be beat as a no frills backup.

Summary: Worst Digital Camera I've Ever Owned
Comment: My husband bought this for me for Christmas. I use it primarily to take pictures of our baby daughter. It is one of the worst digital cameras I've ever owned. The battery life is terrible. Fuji even admits in the handbook that the battery will slowly die even when not in use. Well I charge it one day, and the next day it dies. When trying to take pictures, the majority of my pictures are blurred. It's especially difficult getting a decent picture when you're trying to take one of a moving baby. About the only way I can imagine ever getting a decent shot would be to purchase a tripod, but that would be ridiculous in everyday use. I plan on returning this and getting something else. It is not worth the money and the software that comes with it is not that great either.

Summary: A Disappointment--older Fujifilm cameras were better
Comment: I was interested in getting a camera with a wide angle lens like this one had, and had favorable experiences with my Fujifilm F20, which was one of a highly-regarded series of Super CCD cameras from 2006, but which doesn't have a wide angle lens. I bought the F480 on sort of an impulse without trying to research it too much. I didn't notice that it wasn't a Super CCD camera, which apparently makes a big difference. I took a number of test photos with both the F20 and this camera using the same subject and settings. Unfortunately for this camera, during the week I owned it the weather was grey and dingy, and that is where the older Fujis, the F20, F30 and F31 really stand out among small cameras. The result was that this camera's photos were far inferior to my F20, which on these overcast days took shots that were bright and clear. So I took the F480 back and bought a second F20, because I knew that they were about to become obsolete, which I believe has happened, as they are only available now at inflated prices from small resellers.
It's too bad because it seemed like a very nice, slim, well-made camera with a very nice LCD display on back. I really liked it's build, but I've gotten a little more serious about cameras and this one just didn't cut it. Probably fine for someone who wants to take shots of their friends at the beach and that sort of thing.

Summary: So so camera
Comment: This is a very simple point and shoot camera. It has very few, easy to use controls and features. Outdoors pictures are fare but indoors are poor because built-in flash is not that good. The camera is in deed small, display is big and has good quality but for the price paid I think it does what was expected. I bought this camera as a second one, small enough to carry anywhere and be ready to take pictures just when they happen. But if this will be your only camera you better spend 100 extra bucks on a batter one to get better shoots.
