by jetbluefan1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 01 '03
Pros: most pictures come out well, looks, easy to use, great for kids & beginners
Cons: some pictures come out dark, not good for professionals

Pros: Easy to use, cheap, lightweight, quick LCD, quick scroll menu
Cons: The worst battery life imaginable

Lost in the shootout against my MX-1200

by georget99 , Dec 22 '02
Pros: Easy to use, bright sharp LCD screen, very sharp pictures.
Cons: Distorted near edges, slow flash charge, needs more buttons.
I decided to buy another digital camera. My 2 year old MX-1200 works great, but suddenly one digital camera in the house is not enough. (see my review of the MX-1200)

Being happy with my Fuji I decided to look there first: I figured I'd...

Small Size Reflects Price, Not Features

by hoosierdaddy85 , Dec 15 '02
Pros: Sliver housing, lens cover, small, only 6.5oz, picture quality, and price.
Cons: Shutter lag, flash recharge time, and proprietary memory.

Fuji FinePix 2650, the way to go.

by edraldi , Oct 21 '02
Pros: More feature rich than most, for a 2.0 mega pixel camera.
Cons: Eats up regular AA batteries that are included. Better off with your own rechargeables.
My wife and I decided to get a digital camera, after I got a $100 OFF certificate, from Amazon.com from a larger purchase.

Fuji FinePix 2650: A Great Bargain !

Pros: Compact, great pictures, cheap
Cons: Too much time between pictures, not enough buttons
This 2-megapixel camera has an abundance of features including an optical zoom (as well as a digital zoom, but that is somewhat of an irrelevant gimmick, more on that later), self-timer, movie recording and a sliding lens cover.

At $200 you can't get a better camera. In fact for under $300 I think this is the best deal. My sister has a 3 megapixel Kodak digital camera and I can't see any significant difference in the quality in prints up to 8x10 size.

I Would Like to Use My Camera
by heliosdiem ,Jul 02 '05
Pros: Ease of use, Nice pictures, Nifty, Nice Warranty
Cons: LCD Screen Failure
I really enjoyed using my FinePix 2650. Until the LCD monitor faded. Now I cannot see the menu. I cannot see the pictures. I adjusted the monitor brightness to no avail. The warranty is up.

The camera was gifted to me. My parents got a great deal on two, and my sister got the other one. Her camera had the same screen failure while it was still under warranty, and she was able to have hers fixed.

I would like to use my camera...

Awesome Camera!!!
by shannon920 ,May 08 '05
Pros: Great quality, more bang for your buck, expensive camera features
Cons: Big and bulky. Eats batteries.
I've had this camera for almost 2 years now. I'm not going to bog down this review with technical specifications because there are enough posts on here for that.

However, I will share that this camera takes WONDERFUL pictures. I took some the other night, any my friend took the exact same pictures with her very expensive Sony one, and I must say that my Fuji pics came out crystal clear. Hers were a lot on the fuzzy side. They made me want to rub my eyes to make the picture clearer.

My intention is to sell this camera and get another one. I desire something smaller with more megapixels and updated technology. This particular camera is big and bulky...like a regular 35mm camera.

However, after using this camera all weekend, and falling back in love with it, I may just hold on to it if it doesn't sell from my classifieds ad.

If it does sell for the money I want, I'm probably going to end up buying another Fuji. The consistent quality and dependability is worth the repeat purchase.

Bargain!
by macw4 ,Nov 15 '03
Pros: Price, features, pix, ease of use.
Cons: Memory with camera (buy a bigger memory card). Goes through batteries.
Great little camera. Easy to use. Great pix. Buy the bigger memory. Completely satisfied! Only drawback is that it goes through a lot of batteries -- but they are the cheap AA kind, so who cares.

Good trooper
by jljohnston ,May 27 '08
Pros: Legacy of great digital photos, great battery life
Cons: Clunky shape
It's a little late to review this long discontinued camera, but they are still available on eBay and as refurbished models at very low prices.

After owning a couple of Canon digital PowerShot cameras (which weren't very satisfactory and eventually ceased operating), this budget model was a pleasant discovery. Easy to use and consistently good picture quality, even though it was a 2 megapixel unit. Don't let those megapixel ratings confuse you; larger just means larger images but not better definition in conventional terms. If it can render an 8" X 10" photo with clarity and good color, it has adequate pixels. This little Fuji did that pretty well; better than the higher pixel Canons, but it had a faster lens. That is probably a deal broker.

The size was always an awkward aspect of this camera; too thick to be a pocket item. Almost a square box in reality. I lost it on public transpo because I couldn't carry it in my pocket, but I will replace it with another Fuji.

Not a bad camera, but it doesn't last
by cd_reynolds ,Feb 18 '05
Pros: Great price-benefit ratio.
Cons: Questionable durability - even over a short term like 12 months.
I purchased this camera because of its good price and features. After 12 months of light use, the original camera lost track of how to auto focus (the lens position sensor failed). Fuji was great and replaced it even though I was literally 2 weeks out of warrantee.

The bad news: the replacement camera is now 12 months old and it is starting to miss focus. This trend makes me very leery of buying another Fuji camera.

Great Inexpensive Digital Camera
by sanepinay ,Oct 01 '03
Pros: easy to use and cheap.Pictures come out clear
Cons: eats batteries like water
I have this camera.Actually I borrow it frequently from my sister to take pictures.I love this camera because:

1.Takes great pictures even if the light is really low
2.I didn't read the directions to use the camera but the menu is easy to understand
3.Holds a good amount of pictures

What I don't like about this camera is that:
1.battery dies out fast.Better have a fresh pack to bring with you
2.Get's scratched up easily on the outside.
3.Turns off after a couple of minutes.

Decent bang-for-buck
by camcraig ,Jan 24 '04
Pros: Picture quality, ease of use, size, price.
Cons: Battery life, flash warm-up time, "shutter" speed.
I bought this camera on EBAY brand new and it turned out to be a good purchase. The quality is very good (max 1600x1200). "Shutter" speed is not bad, but for the price acceptable. The software that came with it is crap, I use the webshots (www.webshots.com) software, it's free and a lot easier to use and I can make the pictures into backgrounds. Battery life isn't bad if you pick up an AC adapter for downloading pictures, otherwise it's not very good. I've printed off a couple of the pictures and they turned out pretty good.

But over all the camera is a good buy. You won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a good price you will probably find one since there are always new higher pixel cameras out there.

Great first digital camera
by jenanna ,Sep 27 '03
Pros: Great value, easy to use
Cons: Picture quality could be better
My parents bought this for me for Christmas last year. It was easy for me to learn to use. It comes with software that is also pretty self-explanatory. The picture quality is pretty good. I've seen a lot better, but for a 2.0 it's good. There is an option to change the photo quality on the camera, too. I don't think this makes all that much of a difference.
I like the little video feature. The camera allows you to take 20 second videos. I do this and then make pictures from the video on my computer at home. Also, the self timer is really easy to figure out.
Since it takes AA batteries, they are used really fast. If you are going on a trip for a day I would bring a spare set of batteries. I've made the mistake of going somewhere all day and getting 10 pictures in because I didn't bring extra batteries.

Good inexpensive introduction to digital
by alviesing ,Sep 19 '04
Pros: Automatic shutoff, durable, decent quality pictures
Cons: Poor zoom, low memory on original card
The Finepix 2650 is an entry level camera in the Finepix line. I was given mine as Christmas gift, and have had little need to upgrade, The 2650 takes great pictures, especially if you adjust to the highest quality setting. The camera is durable, and easily compatible with mac and pc's. My only complaint is the lack of a decent zoom, which makes pictures at events tricky. The camera uses AA batteries (rather than a charger) which seem to last much longer than the charge in more expensive cameras.

Basic but complete
by gypsy17 ,Dec 17 '03
Pros: Easy, small, some neat options
Cons: battery usage, shutter/flash speed
I received this as a gift. Overall I've been happy with it. This is the camera for beginners. It it really easy to use for basic pictures. There are options for picture quality; better quality equals less pictures on memory card. There is also a neat video option with two settings for quality; no sound. I had trouble with the software it came with and ended up downloading directly to my computer. The flash and shutter speeds are incredibly slow. It has adequate zoom capacity. This thing chews through batteries and ought to just come with the power cord, but that's extra. I haven't had to get an extra memory card, but it's also an expensive option. It's durable and compact, so that's handy. The picture quality is quite sharp. It has a neat zoom/crop capacity while viewing pictures, although you can't save the edited picture. Generally it's a good deal for the money and ease of use, but not the camera for someone who is really into options or capturing the perfect moment.

by lobau_dt3000 ,Nov 11 '02
This camera says it has a 1/2 - 1/1000 of a second shutter speed implying that it's manually adjustable. NOT SO. I tried to take photos of my son doing karate and HE was in focus BUT his hands and feet that were moving came out blurry. VERY unhappy that Fuji did not explicity state whether or not the shutter speed was manually or automatically adjustable. If you want clear ACTION PHOTOS, DON'T buy this camera. Now I have to pay a 15% restocking fee at BEST BUY to return this crummy camera. >:(

Great camera for beginner and novice users. Excellent picture quality with its 2.1 megapixels, and with the new XD card (16 megs), there is less battery consumption, and faster data transfer. This camera also has a movie mode feature, where I can actually take 20 seconds of video. There are other camera brands out there that doesnt have the features of the 2650 and yet are more expensive. For the price this camera has everything to offer in a photographic device, and the quality is excellent. GREAT BUY!!!

by icemanac_dt3000 ,Feb 08 '03
I considered this camera after a friend of mine purchased a 2600, he is a technological retard and mastered it quite well. For the price, right out of the box it takes very good pictures. Don't drop it, its quite fragile in that respct, however fuji replaced it with a brand new unit. My 4 1/2 year old son can even take fairly good pics with it... so it can't be all bad. Get rechargable batteries.

Recieved this camera as a Xmas gift. I had Never use a digital camera before and in a few minutes I had master this one. I can download to my computer, use it for video-conference or a PC cam with no problems. The Xd cards work great and store a lot of photos for thier size. I did buy an AC adapter, camera case, and rechargable batteries, so I spent additional $70.00 so I could do everything it is design to do. I'm am taking photos of other photos I have to upload on my computer and put on cds. I will use it to photography values i.e. jewelry and important documents including credit cards and misc. bill fold items. This camer is so much easier to use than my normal 35 SLR. I carry it everywhere with me because the compact size. Highly recommend.

I have purchased two digital cameras prior to the fuji 2650, and neither camera takes pictures as clear or transfers the pictures to the computer as fast. I bought this camera because of the good basic features, 2.1mp 3x optical zoom and 2.5 digital zoom. When I purchased the camera there was an additional 64meg XD memory chip given with it, which was a great bonus considering I paid less than $190. I would recomend this camera to anyone looking for clear pictures good color depth at a great price.

The software was also easy to use and play around with. I would recommend it to someone like myself that doesn't know much about camera's and wants good quality at a not so expensive price. The only thing I am disappointed about is that it has a charger plug in, but I can not find out what to use to charge it because it did not come with it.

Price is right for this camera. Simple to use [once you read the manual] and lightweight. Must get 64mb x-D card if you want quality pictures and be able to store more than 20 at a time. The negatives are it goes through AA batteries very quickly [approx 50 pix] so factor in the cost of rechargeable batteries and the recharger, about another $50. Pictures are a bit blurred but that can be fixed by software [pick up a copy of a digital photo editing s/w for another $45]. I highly recommend it for the casual user.

I only had my camera for about 3 months and so far it has been GREAT! I am using it for my photography class and have taken excellent pics!! I have only use one set of batteries since I had the cam so the battery life for me is pretty good being that i use the LCD screen constantly! The one thing that bothered me was that the cam kept saying that the darn lens cover wasn't open when I opened it. I learned that I just had to pull back harder on the lens cover so that wouldn't appear. I also don't like the software b/c you can't correct pics, take away red eye, etc... in photos--nothing beats photoshop! :). Overall I would recommend this camera for anyone who just want a digital cam to take pics with that is easy to use for a cheap price. GREAT CAMERA!!
