Great little (and when we say little we we mean tiny) camera from fuji with a 4mp effective output. Image quality isnt great but with hardly any focusing or shutter lag its a great little camera for party snaps etc. It also has a good macro mode and quite a number of manual controls available.
Pros
- Comes with dock
- Good battery life
- Small, compact and sturdy- you can chuck it in the bottom of your bag and not worry
- An appropriate amount of manual controls if you want them though not too many as to bewilder a new user
- No shutter lag
- Hardly any focusing time
- An ideal first digital camera
Cons
- High ISO noise even at uso 200, 800 is unusable (this is due to small sensor size)
- No control over apeture / shutter speed
- Can be a little too small to hold steady at its slowest shutter speed (1/4)
- Quite noisy images
