My husband bought me this camera before last Christmas, and it now takes blurry, dark pictures. What a disappointment when you want to capture the memories of your children. I cannot wait to buy a new camera. It took great pictures when I first got it. Now I have to use my phone to take pictures.

I purchased this camera after losing one.  I bought it because of the price, but it has turned out to be the best camera I have ever owned.  It is small enough to put in your pocket if you are an active person like I am, and it works wonderfully.  My sister has a REALLY nice, expensive camera.  Her and I both took pictures at my father's wedding and my pictures turned out a lot better than hers.  She even admitted to that.  It has a lot of different function also that makes it fun.  It has blink detection, flash, double shot, etc.  I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality.  The only reason it didn't get outstanding stars is because it sometimes has a tendency to take blurry pictures.  However, that is more so due to the photographer not the camera.  Once I realized how to better use the functions, the blurriness went away for the most part.  It doesn't zoom quite as far as I would like it to, but EVERYTHING else about it is truly wonderful!!

I was exited when I first bought the Fujifilm FinePix camera.  I got it for a good price and it seemed to be easy to operate.  Even though I have had the camera for a year, I haven't used it all that much.  I have kept it in a camera bag to avoid damage since the first day I bought it.  I bought a fast SD card for it so that I wouldn't have to wait forever between shots.  One day a couple weeks ago, I took the camera out of the bag and went to take a picture at an event.  I turned on the camera and received an error message.  The camera turned on, but the lens did not extended fully before displaying the "Zoom Error" message on the screen.  I thought if I just turned off the camera and turned it back on, it would be fine.  I was wrong.  I searched online to see what this error message meant and if anyone ever had this occur before with this picture.  To my surprise, it is a very common issue with the FujiFilm camera.  I was able to find online tips for getting rid of this error, but it involves twisting the lens. I now do that "trick" whenever that message appears, but it is not ideal.  In order to repair this, it would cost a ton of money in comparison to how much I paid.  I would not recommend this camera.

**I am so disappointed with this camera. I hear the brand name "Fugifilm" and think of great things, and that this camera is going to great. But I was sadly mistaken. ** **I just want a good camera so I can take pictures of my family!** **First the specs of this camera: 12 mega. panorama, smile/blink detection, and can do 720 HD videos. ** **So for a camera doing all this, with a price tag of only 119 bucks it does sound to be like a good deal. Lets see whats more inside this camera before you be the judge of that. So I started taking pictures, and was amazed of the quality. Details were vivid. I liked the panorama mode on it, and it works quiet well. I would just never use it again in my life, well maybe to show off to my friends. But the video, oh man, was horrible. I did a 4 minute video, went to play it back, and all my sound and voice was static. Nothing but static. So I thought I just got a bad camera, and hopefully it was going to be ok sounding on my computer once I upload. ** **And now Im taking more and more pictures. I realize that the pictures are not turning out the best anymore. They are good about 20 percent of the time. ** **Speaking about uploading, none of the pictures or video will upload directly to my movie editing software, which is such a hassle, I have to copy everything to my computer first. But when the videos were on my computer, I tried to edit them, and to my unhappiness, the video was still nothing but static. Very disappointed, this camera looked and sounded amazing. Defently do no recommend this camera to anyone.**

I've had this camera for about 6 months now. I have used it on 2 different road trips and have found it as good if not better than my much more expensive SRL that I can now leave safely at home. Photo quality and use is far greater than one may expect from this little guy.
