Summary: FUJI FINE PIX F650
Comment: This is my fifth digital camera. I always carried the user manual with the previous cameras for on site reference. The F650 is very inituitve to use, all the information is available on the big 3 inch display, so I need not carry the manual with me. The camera takes great pictures and super video. The playback audio is great. The camera so compact that I can carry it in my pants pocket The 5X zoom lens is amazing. The battery has plenty of capacity for a day of shooting and the spare battery I have takes up very little space. The only negative aspect is lack of lens protection. It looks fragile and in it's parked position I am very aware of the fact it is exposed to damage. Best camera for under $100.

Summary: Great all around camera
Comment: The great 5x optical zoom makes this camera an awesome buy. The picture clarity is great. The 5x lens makes this camera a little bit bigger than other compact cameras, but it is a great balance between convenience and picture quality. The only downside is the battery life. I am planning on buying a second battery for those long days at Disney with the kids.

Summary: Great Small Camera!
Comment: I bought the Fuji 3800 3.2 MP back in 2003 and it's a wonderful camera that has served me well. Prior to my recent trip to Cancun, I was looking for a smaller digital camera that wouldn't take up as much space in my beach bag so I began researching compacts. I narrowed my search down to the Fuji FinePix F650 and Sony's DSC-T300.

I purchased the Sony because of its sleek styling, ultra compact size, 5x optical zoom and 3.5" touchable LCD screen. Everything was going great - until I printed out the pictures. They were grainy with orange/yellow casts showing on most. There were a gazillion fancy-schmancy settings to learn and I kept getting fingerprints all over the LCD screen which takes up the entire back of the camera. So I took the camera back (ate the restocking fee) and purchased the Fuji F650 from Amazon. This camera is a little larger than the Sony, 6.0 MP instead of 10, 3" LCD screen instead of 3.5, 5x optical zoom; but the bottom line is that it takes great pictures! It's an older model that still holds up today. I took over 100 pics in Cancun and 5 movies. The movies came out great and exceeded my expectations. The lithium battery only had to be recharged once during my 7-day stay so the battery life was very good (considering I carried the camera around and snapped away each day). There are various settings (I haven't even tapped into all of them yet), but they're a bit easier to follow after scanning the small product manual. Needless to say, I'm glad I returned the Sony and opted for the Fujifilm.

So if you're looking for function and value during these times of high food and gas prices, this is a fantastic little find for just under $200 (the Sony was just under $400). It's a great small camera for trips and basic needs at a price that won't break the bank.

Summary: Great Little Camera
Comment: This is a great little camera! Takes clear, sharp pictures and is well made. Compact in size and light in weight. This is my second Fuji digital camera. I also own the Fuji S7000; another excellent camera for those times I am taking photography a little more seriously. This one is my "always in my pocket" camera.
