  Strengths: Size, Quality of Pics, Ease of Use, self timer

  Weaknesses: view finder dark indoors especially at night.

  Overall: I bought this camera brand new years ago when it first came out. This spring (2006) I finally had to look for a new camera. Not because the camera is no good, but because my wife dropped it and the lense no longer retracts and pics are blurred. I loved this camera. It took great pictures in all situations. Family gatherings, posed pictures, and i especially loved the cameras rapid photo mode. I used the mode at several of my daughters softball tounaments and the pictures came out great. I was able to take a series of pics while she was batting and the timing was perfect to get the entire sequence of action captured. My pictures received lots of praise and seemed to steam the other dad photographers with camera that were 3 or 4 times the cost. The zoom works great, take a look at the photo I submitted of the team pitcher on the mound. I took this pic from my seat in the stands.

  Strengths: excellent 2.0 megapixel.

  Weaknesses: none.

  Overall: Overall, a good camera from Fuji if you're on a budget and wish to have an excellent digital camera with nothing but quality....then you have arrived. The Fuji FinePix2800Z is an awesome camera. Under $300....you can't beat it.

  Strengths: For being my first webcam purchase, i'm quite happy with it. it produces a greater image than i thought it would, and it has a high zoom factor.

  Weaknesses: no aud/vid out, no assist lamp for AF, LCD a bit dark

  Overall: I'm rally happy with this camera as my first purchase, and i got it for a decent price too, about $250. or, i at least thought it was a decent price. it is a lower megapixel entry level camera, but i found all of the photos i took to be nearly flawless unless i was shakey myself. i wasn't too happy about not have lamp assisted AF, but i'm also used to using a Nikon Pronea S SLR camera, which has all that stuff on it. overall, for a first purchase, i'm pleased. sure it has it's downfalls, but unless you want to spend a mint on a camera, it's going to have downfalls. i'm totally pleased with it thus far, and would recomend it to anyone looking for a good starter camera, or even beyond that.

  Strengths: light settings, no grainy look as with some, versatile in any condition, compact and lightweight.

  Weaknesses: none that I've seen.

  Overall: Well, I did see one weakness and that was at the time I wanted to take shots of the moon. It took me nearly 2 days to get just the right setting, and had to buy a tripod, otherwise it was a little shaky. After that, my moon shots can't be beat. I have tried other digi-cams throughout the years, and by far, this is the best I've worked with. I believe with a little playing at the settings, one can come up with any beautiful shot. This camera makes it just so easy. My graphic designs have now flourished due largely in part to this camera. I've over 1400 pictures taken, easily, and I will keep taking them with this precious gem.
