Performance
Overall rating	79
Image quality: To gauge picture quality, we take a series of shots, with and without flash, at 640 by 480 resolution and at the camera's highest resolution. We photograph a complex still life and a mannequin to see how well each camera captures details and subtle colorings such as skin tones. A panel of judges reviews the on-screen and printed photos and assigns image-quality scores; we then average those scores.	Good

User Reviews for Fuji FinePix 2650 Digital Camera (Fuji-43860769)

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Great-looking outdoor photos, very easy to use, reliable, uses AA batteries.

Weaknesses: Indoor/low light shooting requires more patience, skill.

Overall Evaluation: I think I've had the camera for about 1.5 years (memory fails). This camera has been so much fun that I am reluctant to let it go. (I'm giving it to the kids because I just ordered a Fuji Finepix model E550, basically the same camera with 6.3 MP). I must have a thousand or two pictures that I've taken with it. I started shooting pictures right out of the box with a 64MB xd memory card, which holds 101 full-res pictures. Several times, I've given the camera to an 8 or 9 year old kid and told them they could shoot it 'til it was full. Within minutes a kid can figure the camera out and take great pictures, particualarly outdoors. (Of course, kids also take some of the weirdest pictures, but that's another topic.) Indoor shots with a flash take a little more practice than the outdoor shots, but it didn't take long to start taking good pictures that way, too. Overall, I was surprised by the quality and ease of use of the camera and I would strongly recommend it. I paid $200 for this camera when I bought it and I don't regret it a bit. After my experience with the 2650, I have little apprehension about buying another Fuji Finepix camera.

Strengths: This is a great camera. Very easy to use from the minute you take it out of the box, the manual is easy to understand, Good size LCD display to review pictures, very decent battery life, FUN!!

Weaknesses: Takes a while for picture to "process"-causing a delay when wanting to take many pictures one right after another. Sometimes pictures come out dark in dim lit areas (easy to fix on computer software)

Overall Evaluation: I got this camera as a Christmas gift and I couldn't be happier! This is my 1st digital camera and I find it so easy to use as well as fun to use. The LCD display is great and you have the option to erase a not so great picture at any time. My neices love to be in pictures and then they run over to see what it looks like-instant gratification. I enjoy the ease of hooking it up to my computer and putting all my pics. in organized albums, able to touch them up if necessary, and printing them. The final results are wonderful-I love to look at all my pictures all the time. I have rechargable batteries and I got a 64MG chip with my present and it holds over 150 pictures(it comes w/16 MG-which holds a very decent amount too). I take it everywhere with me and I highly reccomend it-the positives far outweigh the few negatives!
