There was nothing wrong with the Fuji cameras I've tried out or owned.

One disgruntled ex-customer does not an exodus make.

I've also had no problems with my A210x in all the years I had it, well I didn't until last month when it broke!

Aside from that, I can't fault fuji at all

I'm on my second one and I bought my Girlfriend one for graduating from University. My old Finepix 2650 and her A 210 are both excellent cameras that are really easy to point and shoot. We both got great pictures out of them. There was a bit mroe of a learning curve with my Finepix E-510, but now that I pretty much have the hang of it, its turning out some really nice shots as well.

Not claiming that there's an exodus. Merely that I, personally, will never again buy a Fuji digital camera.

I have an F601Z that's now a good three years old. For a compact camera with 3M pixel sensor, the picture quality is fine. I often take photos with a relatively long exposure time (1/10 or 1/4 second) by just pointing the thing somewhere and pushing the trigger, and I don't see any unusual problems there.

It does start to have issues with the zoom getting stuck by now, though, and Fuji want a generic fee of EUR80 or something to have a look at it. I think I'll better put that money up against a new camera when this one dies completely.

I've used loads of cameras from this series (and in fact own one currently) and they all suffer from the same problem: blurring of images when there is even the slightest movement of the camera.

And by "slightest" I mean: the only way to get an un-blurred image out of one of these is to put it on a tripod and use its self-timer to set it off. Putting it on a tripod and using the shutter button yourself still results in a blurred image - the camera moves slightly when you press the button. As for actually holding it in your hands and pressing the shutter button (as, you know, you might expect to with a camera), you can forget it.

Fuji digital cameras: unmitigated shite. Avoid.

Wow - I thought it was just me. I got a great deal on an MX-2900 Zoom a few years back, and only get about half of my picstures to come out. Outdoor pictures of far away stuff turn out great, but the camera is useless for anything up close. Terribly slow too.

I'm of the same mode of thought, but not because of the camera... but because of the shockingly poor aftercare.

currently got an olympus c750uz, which you can pick up a recent model of for under Â£200. 10x optical zoom. fucking brilliant. its not the smallest of cameras, but you can get it in your pocket still, and takes damn fine pics. its about the nearest youll get to a full SLR without the size and price tag. my next camera *will* be an slr. but for now im happy with the olympus

Mmm, I want one of those now. I currently have a C960Z, 3x optical zoom and a monsterous 1.3 megapixels (cost about Â£330 IIRC), it's served me well but dust is starting to get inside the lens.. and it takes an age between pictures on "hi res" mode.
